A GWS Slow Stick (electric radio-controller park flyer) is used to take aerial pictures. See details of my first experiments here.
A Canon SD200 digital camera (115 grams empty) is tied to the plane at its center of gravity using several rubber bands.
I thought it might be useful to be able to push the shutter using the transmitter, so I made a wooden frame to hold a servo:
This works, but the SD200 offers continuous shooting mode. Holding the shutter button down with rubber band and plastic tubing is more practical.
