Working on a 4 month aerial project for one of the nature/doc networks with our Cineflex V14HD gyrostabilized camera systems. Using 2 NanoFlash units- one as primary, one for back-up. George Griswold built a switch to trigger both units at the same time. We duplicate the signal with an AJA HD DA right out of the camera, then send a separate feed to each NanoFlash. We are recording to SanDisk Extreme Pro 64 Gb cards at 1080/29.97p, i-frame, 280mbits.

The back-up comes in handy- on the first day, we had a bad SanDisk card!

Hi Paul,

We are flying a Bell 206L3 Long Ranger. Client has a 17" monitor in the back, and we occasionally will have a still photographer with door off on the right rear passenger side.

Very Nice Ron,

The Bell is one hell of a nice machine and the Long Ranger one of their best. Thanks for sharing.
