It's like I'm tripping on acid.
It is amazing how the camera's view stays almost stationary at some points.
[QUOTE=residualgrub;40255507]It is amazing how the camera's view stays almost stationary at some points.[/QUOTE] That is due to the frequency of the rotors rotation with respect to the world, being an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency (In this case: the frame rate) of the camera. Rotations per second of the rotor, is an integer (1, 2, 3, etc..) multiple of the frame rate per second. eg. With a camera that captured at 30 frames per second, this effect would happen if you had the rotors of the helicopter at (30, 60, 90, 180, 750, etc) rotations per second.

[QUOTE=Turnips5;40255589]that is definitely a non-inertial (accelerating) reference frame[/QUOTE] I am treating the rotor as stationary with respect to the world, but yes.. you are correct. I herped my derp.
