Look no rotors
I'm guessing the camera and rotor speed are in someway synchronised...or its been played with. Still its quite unusual.

That is some extremely precise rotor rpm control.

gidday , this would be a great way to track the blades , maybe some smart bugger could work on a thingee that could do this for all helis , we had the same sort of video a couple of years back , made me think....and a handycam is low cost too......

Great idea. Hey, I know, we could get a strobe light, time it to the RPM of the blades, and track them that way. No need for the camera.

Oh, wait...

RADS tracker is accurate to .1 mm. Good enough for us.

Chadwick 8500 and VXP does it for me.

Nice video though, one could have fun with the less informed members of the population
