Thanks for the post, and your pioneer work.

I suggest you to include a link to your original size video on your
home page. I think this is quite a different viewing experience than
the embedded player.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LipeSXXe1Yk&fmt=22

Considering the ubiquity of digital recording devices these days, IMO,
the right thing to happen is for glider manufactures to offer camera
mounting/cable handling as a built-in option. Stemme has an option to
amount HD video camera on the gear strut, but I'd like to have one on
the tail and wingtip as well. Then, the faint-of-hears like me can
shoot nice videos like these!

Check out a few new soaring videos I made flying in northern Utah and
southern Idaho testing out a couple of new small HD video cameras and
cameramounts on my ASW20. *In the newest video you will see that I
was able to better stabilize the tail cam for virtually nocamera
shake compared to the April 18 video. *You can see what it looks like
around Morgan and Logan Utah where there is a new regional contest
being held in August for the first time.


Make sure to click on the HD button and the expand button on the
youtube player to take it to full screen to get best picture.

Hope you enjoy my rusty spring thermalling skills

Very nice, can you also share some pictures of your setup? *How is the
cameraattached, controlled, etc.?


I added a few pictures of the videocameratailmount setup on my
website: *http://phoebus.vassel.com/site_page_12346

Good advice thanks. You can do it right now. I will put a note on my
page how to view the videos on full screen. First, click the HD
button to get better quality. Then click the button to the right of
the HD and it will open it up on full screen mode.

I am really excited to share my next video. I ran the Logan, UT ridge
yesterday just at ridge line and it was spectacular! This video
should be interesting for those who have not flown out of Logan yet
and might be interested in seeing what it is like - big mountains,
good length ridge line, amazing scenery. I need a few more days to
edit the video and will post and update when it is done.

I haven't gotten up the guts to put the wing tip cam on yet. One
thing at a time.
