If you are a heli freak like me, read this: Some time ago I have ordered a wide angle key chain camera and have attached it with tape to the canope at the front of my Blade 450 helicopter. After some flights the idea came up to improve the camera installation and adjust the angle of view without tape-technology. As a result I have designed a 2-axis variable camera mount printed on a 3D printer. The angle of view can be adjusted before each flight manually so no changes in-flight. This camera is a nice first and cheap step to get into aerial photography before heading to more expensive and professional systems. The costs for the 3D printed parts where about 18 Euro and 30 Euro for the key cam. To see examples of view angles click the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmuT8nY4gHQ&feature=youtu.be
