Pteryx flight over Bezmiechowa mountain.

The map depicts unusual, sloped glider airfield.
It was a small demonstration for the officials.
I wasn't even there, just posting my friend's flight.

The stitch is a hasty drag&drop into Microsoft ICE.
We are surprised how well it fits into the sloped terrain
given the lack of effort from our side to make it exact.

    @Alex
    It is canon S45, we are not experts in photography itself and this is just one of producion prototypes.
    Pteryx can lift 3 such cameras at once.
    The picture is lacking some resolution compared to best possible choice.
    We have connected whatever we got spare, mostly as a ballast. The result surprised us a little.
    The Canon S45, on the other hand, is a little exagerating green tones.

    Nice picture :) what kind of camera are you using because everything is so nice and clear! Are you using a standard digital camera?

    @Dimitar Kolev "does name of mountain means "no bears" mountain?"
    Actually it means as much as Duxford ;-) Similarly, there are no Ducks, nor there aren't any Ford factory in the area.
    Aerial survey detected no bears's presence.

    Oh ok, cool thanks Chris, looks like a very sorted platform.

    Beautiful place and picktures. Good to see some focus on aerial photographying again.

    Nice flight and pictures Chris! Little bit offtopic - does name of mountain means "no bears" mountain?

    In this scenario we have used roll compensation, with 45deg servo travel in both directions.
    Other options are possible, but using a modified servo, reprogrammed digital servo, etc.
    Apparently the protection is sufficient and+/- 45deg compensation is more than enough.
    So the camera was mounted downwards, contrary to what the small Pteryx picture suggests.

    Nice one Chris, is that with the camera mount rotating all the way round to take vertical images? Does the mount then compensate in roll when taking??
