Birds Eye View
I recently built a camera mount that sits at the top (30' off of the ground) of my Max Gains System push-up mast.
The mount allows me to place one of three different cameras in my camera arsenal that qualify, in place depending on the type of photographs that I wish to shoot, and how I will control the camera.
In this view I am controlling the fujifilm X-E3 mirrorless camera mounted up top via wifi, with my iPhone using a fujifilm app that allows for full control of the camera, with live-view on the screen of my iPhone allowing me to see what the camera sees.
I also am able to make adjustments to the camera such as on screen focusing, aperture, shutter, ISO, flash, etc, from my phone.
In this view of myself along with my mobile, I have my homebuilt tri-band log-periodic antenna sitting at 25 feet on the mast. The antenna is connected up to a Yaesu FT-897D that I am seen operating off of the back deck of my mobile.
The complete antenna assembly with camera and mast is mounted on my homebuilt 12 volt rotator seen mounted in the hitch insert of my mobile.
The antenna direction is controlled with a wireless key-fob controlling the 12 volt rotator mounted in the hitch receiver.
