As with all my other videos, they look best in HD if you have the bandwidth.

Nice, getting into the beautiful Qld autum weather now, perfect for flying like this, gee if Mal puts a GoPro on his Skyranger you could get some Nynja/ Skyranger in flight fun video ( not suggesting any unapproved formation flying of course!)

Great video. I am still trying to get one right yet.

Scott,

 

can you post some photos of your video camera setup? I'd love to see how the cameras are mounted.

 

Cheers

Gerry:

I don't have a pic of the camera setup, but if you pause the video at about 3:34 you'll see the GoPro on the right strut. I used the base of the box the camera came in and I just tape it to the strut. The GoPro cameras have mounting arms that have ends 90 degrees twist. These can be stacked to quickly chnge a forward view to a side view as I did with this video when I landed at the 'Roy.

 

I think the secret to the GoPro is to use it at the 720 resolution @ 50fps rather than the 1080. It seem a lot less prone to the rolling shutter distortion at that setting. The other shots done from inside the cockpit were done with a Kodak Zi8 pocket camera also on 720 @ 60fps. At one stage in the video you can see me pick it up for a shot.

 

I try to give my videos a nice relaxed feel we "easy listening" type music and cross fade transitions. Straight cut transitions give a snappier feel to the video, but take a fair bit more work to synch the cuts to the music.

Thanks again for all the kind words. The videos I make are my memories of my flying for when the time comes when I'm no longer 'king of the clouds'. It's a real bonus for me that you enjoy them as well.

 

Thanks.

That section from about 3:05 ,across the cloud top and hill side, is magnificent.

 

Cant wait to get my Shadow back together and get back flying.....
