John,
Love the video.
Do you know who I can contact about buying the kind of helicopter to mount my camera on, D300s or where to start?

John/Ken – Check out the web site http://www.rcgroups.com. There’s an aerial photography section there where every kind of mounting a camera to an RC plane/helicopter/quadcopter/etc is discussed. You can sink a TON of money into it.
