Hawkeye: My New RC Plane for Aerial Photography

I bought a new RC plane recently that is specifically designed for aerial photography. It's called the Hawkeye, and it was designed and manufactured by Joel Scholz of ElectricFlights.com. In addition to being well suited for aerial photography, it also breaks down to fit inside a carry-on suitcase so that it can travel easily.

Below are some of the videos that I shot recently with the Hawkeye (in order from newest to oldest). As you can see from the earlier video, I had a heck of a time getting the video to be free of vibrations. In the end, I learned that the Hawkeye is very sensitive to out-of-balance propellers. Once I bought a prop balancer and balanced my props, most of the vibrations went away.
