WTB HELICAM RIG

[Mohamed Younis]

Any sort of remote controlled flying rig sturdy enough to hold the epic, or at least a 5dmk2

I have a good rig... Not to mention the number one ranked RC pilot in the world to go with it! Pics here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150350748447095.402356.70340037094&type=3

Here they sell copters as Ready to Fly models or kits you build yourself...maximum weight seems to be 2000g or about 4.5 lbs.

I think that is pretty much the answer to the OP, no, you'll have to build something custom yourself. Then you have to know how to fly it.

Hey Mohamed
Mark is right it's not a matter of having the RC Heli but the flying is just some you would need to master. Believe it or not It's like becoming an expert as a steadicam operator. I have one and One of us is a hard core gamer who can use joy stick like anything and he still has problems.
Best of luck.

We have a custom rig that's able to hold an MX. Purchased at $28k, for sale at $15k picked up, barely used. Located in orange county.

I should've done my research first. I didnt know it took special skills to fly an RC. I knew it would take some getting used to and i thought being a games myself would help, apparently not.

Ill also +1 for snaproll media, i know the guys and they are awesome to work with.

Tell them i sent you and they will hook you up.

I wouldn't trust anyone to fly such an expensive camera who hadn't already done so successfully. Perfect Perspectives flies the Epic and has over 30 years experience along with a perfect safety record.

Some of this reel was flown in winds up to 25 mph. Wind is the great equalizer in this line of work and come shooting day you never know what mother nature will deal you.
