FPS equals RPMs

I guess this is what you get when the frames per second of a camera is equal to the rotations per minute of a helicopter

Mild correction: I think you meant "It would be when the frames per second is equal to the revolutions/rotations per second."

Though, honestly, It could easily be 1/2 the rotations per second, or even 1/4 the rotations per second, depending on how many blades the helicopter has.

I read the article behind the original video, what the Russians did is attach a sensor to the rotating blades each time it passed a certain point it sent a signal to the ground to go to the next frame. You couldn't set it to some magical frame rate on the camera because as a helicopter moves up/down and spins around the blades change speed in terms of RPM.

But Wait, There's More!
