A well-done Glider video

This was posted on the Condor flight sim forums. I thought it was a
rather well-done gliding video.

It is a compilation of a Swiss pilot's best video from the 2009
soaring season. Amazing landscape. Click the HD button and watch it
full screen if your computer can handle it. I'm not usually a big fan
of music being used instead of the natural sounds of flight, but this
one worked for me.

The production quality is quite high.

I really liked the effect of the reflection of the landscape on the
side of the glider in many of the sequences.

The pilot posts that this was done with a hand-held camera (Panasonic
FX-35) held outside the canopy. The video was image-stabilized and
zoomed in during post-production. He doesn't report what make of
glider and I'm not experienced enough to identify it.

Very nice indeed...

Glider types in use: A Nimbus 2C (you can see the call-sign HB-1480 at
3:07), then a Duo Discus (HB-3427).
The other gliders being filmed from above are both ASH25

The 505 is in the middle at about 3:30, you can see the two piece
canopy and straight wing.

Very nice. I prefer glider videos with music, especially for the
general public. The wind noise and vario beeps are rather annoying
(but can be instructive). I usually just turn down the sound. A
compromise is to overlay the music against a soft background of
natural sounds.

Here are two musical glider videos.
