We recently introduced you to a R/C helicopter with a camera that gives you clear images and videos from the air. And here is another one from Eric Austin, a Texas-based amateur videographer, who modified a hobbyshop helicopter to hold a camera to give close and tight aerial shots. In order to get a more attractive camera angle or better videos that otherwise are missed, Eric hooked Canon 7D DSLR camera to the toy helicopter with a simple tripod style camera screw.



Not only this, but Helicam has been equipped with crash protection gear. The landing grear, covered with a bright pink foam from the “noodles” used in swimming pools, has been built to protect the camera in case of crash or hard landing. The helicopter is remote controlled but one need to adjust the camera setting on the ground. Well, this Helicam may come out to be a handy tool for paparazzo to avoid bruising noses in difficult situations.
