peter_6095 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Here is a short clip from my flight this evening at the flagpole. Takeoff, fly-by over flagpole and landing. It is quite interesting as I am flying straight towards my shadow on landing so you see the flare. My first GoPro HD paramotoring clip. On setting 5 (highest quality) for those who are interested. Flying 'The Phoenix' one last time (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4726) under a Paramania Fusion 29. Great evening session. 4 wings in the air including 1st flight for Ed (see my last post) and two others ground handling in preparation for their first flights. I am loving these 'summer' evenings...

alan_k Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Beautiful short clip. Great with the shadows showing the action. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Looks nice and slow, did you use a mac or pc to edit the clip ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_6095 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I used a mac and edited on iMovie. A very quick and rough edit which took a few minutes. Took about 25 mins to load up to YouTube on HD though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi Pete. V Nice video. I have been playing with my HD pro for quite a while now. The Full 1080p looks fab. But if you want to upload to You Tube, it might be best to record in the 720p mode. If you record a long flight in 1080p and then want to go through it and pick the best bits, it sure takes a while to convert to 720p, for You Tube! Also editing longer files is much quiker. 720p still looks great on my flat screen TV. I used a velcro Knee mount from an old altimeter and passed it through the back panel and got some intersting mounting angles. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druffuk Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Nice!! How did you attach the camera to your wing? It creates an awesome shot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramotormike Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 There was a thread about this b4, but anyways............. I used the square plastic mount that the HD Pro comes on. I put that inside the wing and mounted the camera on the outside, trapping the wing in the clamp. Felt a bit heavy, but worked ok. Next time I will mount it further back, about halfway between front and trailing edge. Don't want to cause a frontal collapse.

peter_6095 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I like the movie Mike. The wing mounting and the foot camera action is cool too. Useful tip on the settings - no point using full 1080 if it is going on YouTube. I'll try that next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
