Mounting a GH2?

[spiralofdivinity]

Hey everyone,

I'm very interested in buying the Phantom 2. I've got a Panasonic GH2 and I was wondering, being a lighter camera, is it possible to mount a GH2 on the Phantom 2 instead of the GoPro? And if it is mountable, can you still see a live stream of the camera footage to fly the quadcopter?

I'm moving up from a AR Drone 2 and looking to take things to the next level. Any help would be much appreciated!

It's almost 400g, so you might be able to fly it (if you don't pile on much else), but you'd have to get creative since there's not many off-the-shelf mounting options for cameras other than the gopro. I also have no idea how big it is in relation to the Phantom but you might be able to get away with it.

I don't believe you'll be able to use the video output from that camera for flying or anything, unless it outputs some other way than HDMI.
