riders can only look down (or at the ceiling). If possible, book
a helicopter with clean windows. Some pilots polish the bubble
every morning; others have windows oggier than waxed paper.
Chartered helicopters, where you are the only passenger, are much
more expensive than the shared scenic rides, but allow you far
more flexibility on what you can shoot. Some pilots will allow
you to remove a door and seat so that you have an unobstructed
view out the side of the chopper. Regulations insist that you be
strapped in and it's wise that your camera also be tethered. If
you have a lens cap at the end of a string, you'll want to remove
it so that it doesn't flap in the wind.
Some pilots won't let you use a full-sized camcorder in the front
seat; it blocks their view. This is one advantage of using a
tiny, Hi 8 or SVHS-C or DV palmcorder rather than a giant Betacam
or MII configuration. The lower picture quality is balanced
nicely against the greater access to places and freedom of motion
when shooting.
Take an early morning flight, if possible, especially at higher
altitudes (2000 feet). The air is less hazy; there is more clear
sky (better light for brighter colors) and shadows are more
pronounced. Afternoon is often the worst time.
Try a polarizing lens attachment (about $25 to $50) to cut haze
and window reflections. Watch out though, it may also pick up
strange rainbow patterns in the plastic windows. Check it out.
Since your viewfinder is probably monochrome, try holding the
polarizer up to your eye and rotate the polarizer while watching
for rainbow artifacts. Incidentally, polarizers only work when
rotated to a certain position. Experiment with them to find a
position that works most of the time. Mark it to indicate "this
end up" so you don't have to diddle with your lens while flying.
Haze or UV (ultraviolet) filters (about $25) reduce haze a
little, but don't reduce reflections from glass or water like
polarizers do. Circular polarizers ($40) aren't necessary on
video cameras, only single lens reflex 35mm cameras. Switch your
camera to manual focus and focus on infinity. No sense taking a
chance on a confused autofocus; everything is far away anyway.
Zoom out to deemphasize shakes and vibrations. Zoom half way in
occasionally if you need to show something. If possible, detach
your viewfinder from your camera so that you can hold your camera
in a comfortable position without craning your neck. Although the
viewfinder allows you to aim the camera with precision and also
displays status messages from your camera, feel free to cheat a
little, ungluing your eye from the 1" black-and-white viewfinder
and enjoying some of your trip with your eyes in 3-D, high
resolution color. Video work is supposed to be fun, isn't it?
Hold the camera level and steady close to an open window (best)
or clear section of forward looking window (good), looking away
