Post subject:  synch on rc helicopter for dual cams

Control dual Sony Nex 5 onboard an RC helicopter... I need to synchronize from as far as I can get... 1 mile?

Is this possible... What's the unit I need?

Firstly, our remotes reach 300-400 feet. Even with repeater mode, you would not be able to reach one mile. Pocket Wizard, currently the farthest reaching remote, will only reach a maximum of 1600 feet. Secondly, I do not believe the NEX series has a remote input port. Therefore, I do not know of a solution to work for you, however, I do know we do not have a solution to meet your needs as described.

Not sure about the NEX input compatibility but here is one photog's solution for extremely long-range triggering.

DIY long range triggers are usually based on inexpensive walkie talkies. If you Google, camera trigger long range, you will get several of different resources - some DIY and some you just buy. Here is a pretty good description with pictures on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/majet/sets ... 1167555072. Google should turn up some video too.
