New 7 part personal soaring movie in Utah

I've videotaped both from tripod on the ground and while riding in a
second seat, but never solo from inside the cockpit. Hmmm...
I don't think I'd try that.

Looks
like you had yours side-mounted on a skiing helmet like the skydiving
videographers do.

Thanks for the response. Actually I just held the camera with my left
hand and rested it on my right shoulder. It is more comfortable than
it sounds and helps to stabalize the video camera a little bit. When I
am not using the camera I just put it on my lap. Works ok.

I've already gotten a few flying tips from some people. Thanks! I can
use all I can get.

After thinking about the safety aspects of trying to ridge soar and
video at the same time, I think you are right about filming solo. I
built a camera mount just to the side and behind me so I don't have to
worry about it. Thanks for the thoughts.

Hi Bruno,

Very Nice! I like your website, keep up the good work!
What camera are you using?

Good and Safe Soaring,

Gunnar

I am using a Cannon ZR90 with a Cokin 0.5x Wide-Angle Lens. I am
pretty happy with this setup but would love to have the quality that "A
fine week of soaring" has. What a great film! If I had spent 5x + the
amount on my gear I'd probably get close. One more week and tows start
again out here in Salt Lake City....finally!

Hi Bruno, Nyal and everbody
Wonderful!
I have just downloaded the movie n° 3 and I found exactly what I
hoped: full air noise, with vario and actual pilot voice.
A wonderful movie! I almost couldn’t breath, for this deep feeling of
beeing really there meeting dynamic slope air and manouvering to gain
height.
I shall download all. One of my very best findings.
Thankyou and happy thermals!
