Default New video of gliders racing 1000 ft above the desert

Just wanted to briefly chime in on the camera comments... I *LOVE* my
Drift Innovations HD Stealth camera (http://driftinnovation.com/hd170-
stealth-camera/). Its got great capabilities including a wireless
remote, body-mic attachment, 1080p (127 degree FOV) and 720p (170
degree FOV) recording, and the lens rotates so I can mount the camera
body in any orientation and still get a "level" shot. Its got a
tripod screw-mount so you aren't limited to proprietary mounts like
some cameras.

Bruno - Awesome vid, as always!

I'm using on of the original GoPro cameras, the light gathering
ability is poor and so is the battery life, but it's still fun to set
up in the sailplane, especially for the Tetra-15 first flights. It
needs to be replaced with a new HD unit of some type.
