Nikon D200 Operation Manual
Camera Pointing Angle
Camera pointing angle is the angle below the
horizon.
In a Cessna 182 or Cessna 172 with a photo
window it is not possible to get a pointing
angle much greater than 45 degrees. Smaller
angles result in the photos being greater in
extent perpendicular to the direction of flight
and thus lower resolution at ground-level.
Haze also becomes more significant at smaller pointing angles. 45 degrees is an excellent
choice although 30 degrees is a reasonable compromise.
Setting Camera Pointing Angle
Taking photos with a consistent pointing angle requires the use of a monopod. The
following pictures show how to set the pointing angle using a locally fabricated guide.
The guide shown is for 45 degrees.
