Silverlit Spy Cam 3 Channel Helicopter with Gyro and Camera
Have you ever wondered what it would be like, not only to pilot your own
RC helicopter, but to see what it sees, to soar as it soars and to look down on the world from up in the rarefied atmosphere? Well now you can. Silverlit’s Spy Cam Radio Controlled helicopter isn’t content just to take to the skies - it also insists on taking pictures while it’s up there. And not just pictures either - it can even record up to three minutes of video, all directed from the remote control transmitter in the palm of your hand.
Whether you’re a model helicopter enthusiast or an amateur photographer seeking a new perspective on life, you can’t fail to be impressed by the Spy Cam’s multiple talents. This isn’t just a fancy camera with a helicopter bolted on as an afterthought - or indeed vice-versa: no, this is a solid piece of kit that takes no prisoners, but does take some rather fetching aerial photographs, it must be said. The Spy Cam’s contra-rotating rotor design makes the machine stable and suited to hovering, ideal for when you’re trying to line up that perfect shot. The electronic heading lock gyro system imparts directional stability, ensuring that your pictures are crystal clear.
When the Spy Cam’s reported back to base, simply hook it up to your computer using the supplied USB cable and use the graphic software that’s provided to download the footage and adjust picture quality. When you’re done, simply unplug and get ready to indulge in some more airborne mayhem. Designed for use in a reasonable-sized room, the Spy Cam is replete with a flashing red power indicator and a white LED spotlight that kicks in during flight.
Equally as suited to beginners as it is to seasoned veterans, the Spy Cam’s intuitive controls make the machine a pleasure to pilot. The chopper is available in a choice of black, white or silver and can run on bands A, B or C. Pick a colour, pick a band and then prepare to dogfight with your mates as you film the aerial carnage.
