KC, if that was your FIRST attempt, I can't wait for more! Great video
and music. I like Coldplay anyway, and it was perfect for this
particular video. Can you guys start soaring everywhere and produce
video's? I would love to see a video like that of Torrey Pines, and
maybe one at Eagle Field in Pennsylvannia...ok with you Karl?
WOW...thanks!


Thanks to all for the positive feedback. I'm having lots of fun trying to
play with it all and figure out ways to make the sport look like the great
amount of fun it truly is. Karl already was kind enough to allow one film
of him flying but the ridge idea is a super one.....would give great
perspective of going fast. Juan Mandlebaum of Fine Week of Soaring fame
gave me some advice on getting the right camera.

The whole setup is so much easier now with small lipstick cameras and along
with a wireless link to the main camera that is in the cockpit means that it
can go just about anywhere. The film above was all from inside the
cockpit.....the one outside view was me holding the camera in my freezing
hand sticking out the vent window at 17K. The outside stuff hopefully will
be even cooler! Now if I can just remember to make sure the autofocus is
on!
