TC12 Videos

[doug72]

In order to take a video of my TC12 entry I found it hard to hold compact camera & remote speed controller at the same time to demonstrate my entry running & the functions.

I devised a holder for camera & speed contoller which helps, but need to get down low to use it.

Aslo tried an iPad in video mode with speed controller mounted on top of a chair back - works OK and I can move around with iPad while taking the video and see be able to control my TC12 entry.

iPad seems best solution.

neat! have you considered using a tripod? That idea might not work with my camera, as its 2 and a half pounds....but it looks good for those people with compacts.

Don't have a tripod.
Note the camera is out of position, it needs shifting sideways a bit otherwise lens will not come out when switched on.
I wanted something to be able to walk around and at same time operate the PF speed controller but found I needed to shoot close to the ground to get close ups which proved ackward.

In the end I use an iPad with controller mounted on top of a chair so I could follow my TC12 vehicle around easier & still control it.
