Tracking your aircraft with a camera.

8,222 Airheaddivision  2.0 years ago

I heard you can use AI planes with cameras but what I’m looking for is a camera, based on the ground, either with a rotator that follows the aircraft I’m flying so I can get good videos of It.

Let’s be honest here, using your fingers to track the movement of your aircraft is hard especially when it’s a helicopter and you can’t take your hands of the controls, if you do, I think you know what happens lol.

Now, I’m unsure if you can just use funky trees on a camera to track your aircraft, but if that doesn’t work, I can always attach the camera to a rotator, I just don’t know how to make it follow my aircraft, kinda like the fly-by cam.

Is there a way to do this? I’m making a cool video and I’d like to know. I know there are mods for this but iOS doesn’t have the luxuries PC and android does. I’m planning to get an android for Christmas because my last one got stolen.

    Fortunately, there's a "Look At Cockpit" option for cameras (not orbit cameras though) that does pretty much exactly this! With that option enabled, the camera will constantly pan to track the location of the cockpit, no input required.
