Aerial Still Photography:

These are the initial results from an experiment mounting a Mustek MDC 4000 digital camera onto a Prangster EPP 3D Trainer with the shutter operated by a micro servo plugged into the gear channel. The first attempt I had a lot of problems with vibration. These photos were taken by shutting the engine to idle before taking the photo. There is still some vibration, but not nearly as bad. It seems to be a bit random, some photos have a lot of vibration, others are very clear, so I just take lots and keep the ones that turn out OK
