Can you stop an arrow from spinning?

Cromm:
Hi,
OK I have one of those small spy cams that I have put on an arrow to shoot up into the air. I have put four big Flu Flus (Right hand) onto the arrow and two small left hand feathers on but the arrow still spins. I don't need the arrow to go far I just want to see if I can get a video of me shooting the arrow so you can see me as it goes into the air?? I saw a guy on U tube doing the same thing and his arrows didn't seem to spin but cannot find it now.....
Thanks for your time

sonny:
try an unfletched, longer-than-normal (so that spine is less of an issue) arrow....
 

Pat B:
Because of the natural shape of the feather even straight fletched arrows spin. You could try paper or leather fletching glued down parallel to the shaft.

Cromm:
Thanks guys I will try out the ideas and see what happens.
Sonny any luck with the arrow heads I sent you??
Thanks for your time.

The Gopher:
i was going to suggest unfletched too.
