New video of gliders racing 1000 ft above the desert

Robert -

I totally agree on the angle: wider is better! The human brain gets
its sense sense of speed from things rushing past in your peripheral
vision. That means having a wide field of view when you record
things. Many cameras cut off too much of the peripheral view.

The Drift Innovation guys just released a new camera that can do 170
degrees at full 1080p. Looks like I may need to sell my Stealth HD
and buy a new toy for spring! ;-)

My GoPro Hero HD can record in both 170 FOV and 127 FOV angles. *After doing some testing, my opinion is that the 170 FOV is a must for flying videos. *Not sure if the Contour has options to try standard and wide FOV but if it does, try it and see for youself. *I think you'll be surprised by the difference it makes!
