That's a good one, Tim!
Just yesterday I was out on a shoot with another photographer who was telling me about someone he had met who was doing "aerial" photography, only he had a different method....mounting the camera on a tall pole and using a remote release. That person actually is trying to sell those photos as "aerial" shots!
You should also post this in the Members Lounge...I'm sure others would get a kick out of this new "method".

Looks to me like the camera is attached with a magnetic remote release. You fly over the operator then click the remote release and the camera drops right into your hands. Then land the plane normally.
Interesting idea. I think I would try the balloon boy approach. Probably a little less cost and a little more control. I would also try to use a smaller camera. I think Nikon has some software to control the camera from a remote location.

Pretty cool Tim! I like the 6x7 too. Thinking about picking one of those up, but not this way. Looks like maybe you need some tundra tires.
