Off in a 'copter tomorrow!

Yup, I'll be the eye in the sky!

My workplace are putting on an event that they want shot from far away. Yup, REALLY far away.

I'm very excited! Never been in a helicopter before - quite nervous as to whether i'll be solid enough to get the shots I need!

Cheers,
James

Whats the vibraion like in a helicopter?, thought it would be too much for photos

canon IS systems have a little bit of info about it - says the IS has been designed with vibrations of copters in mind. nice that

I've no idea about nikons but it can't be too far off that...but then again it is nikon

VR/IS can compensate.

Here's a good guide: http://www.naturescapes.net/062004/ej0604.htm
