Those of you who shoot from helicopters of propeller planes, what's your rule of thumb about maximum exposure time for given focal lengths?
I won't have time to look and adjust so anything premade would be appreciated

My imagine composition sucks. I need a heavier lens.

cicopo Goldmember More info | Oct 19, 2013 20:55 | #4 I've only shot from a heli once & it was way back when the 20D was a relatively new camera & my first DSLR. I used a Sigma 18-200 (non OS) and used Sport mode with excellent results. What lenses / body are you thinking of using & under what circumstances. A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.
