Snake and camera

The serpent is suitable here any, just to fly. I took the cheapest for 7 hryvnia. And the camera is preferably not very heavy. Suitable camera or mobile phone. My snake easily lifted the NOKIA phone, weighing a little more than 100 grams, even in a small wind!

But not everything is so simple!

The camera in the air is very shaky! As soon as I did not fasten it to the snake, the image was very shaky, and the pictures were blurred. After several trial runs, I realized that the camera needed to be fixed not to the snake itself, but to the fishing line. The camera should be no closer than 30 meters from the snake, otherwise it will be much loosened. You probably want to run the camera high into the sky! Therefore, the line is better to buy just a kilometer. Fit 0.4 or 0.6 fishing. And it is better to reel it on the coil from the old fishing rod attached to the screwdriver. Firstly, it will not be confused, and secondly, the fishing line will not be loosened, as when winding itself. The movements are smooth and the shaking is minimal. Watch my trial video!



Warnings and Safety

At first I was worried that the camera could break, from a fall from a greater height, but practice has shown that the snake lowers the camera very smoothly, like on a parachute. Therefore, I do not defend the camera from blows. Much more dangerous is the fact that the snake likes to land in the most inappropriate places! The wind can stop or change its direction and the snake will fly to the top of the tree. Or how I did it - right in the river! The snake quickly got wet and went to the bottom ... But fortunately the fishing line was strong enough and we were able to pull the camera to the surface, through the algae.

Better to see once than to hear 100 times. Watch the video where I described in detail the process of aerial photography:



And if the wind is weak?

No problem! You can run a snake from a scooter, bike or run. The main thing is that he would gain altitude, at the top the wind is always stronger and more stable than at the bottom. As you can see, nothing complicated. Try it, you can make it! It is very exciting. Share your experiences in the comments. You can send your video to us, we will together discuss the best aspects of your video. Well, what would the video be successful, remember:
- it is better to mount the camera to the fishing line, and not to the snake
- run better in the open, without trees
- it is convenient to wind the line on the reel with a screwdriver.
