I was able to get another video processed and online today. Bobs Flight on the 25th. Speeded up and cranking but pretty cool.

Its pretty nice...for a simple nice flight... No. not the flight was simple.. the edit was simple. The camera got bumped just before takeoff which screwed the view...
Thats the problem with handing out cameras and all. As much as I know Pilots are competent and smart .. brave.. daring... slick.. cool and demonstratively cavalier.... when it comes to getting the cameras pointed right.. well... sorry ... got other things to think about.. like .. hows the angle to my face.. am I looking bad arsed enough..LOL
Kidding... except the dashing part...
Okay...
There is no viewfinder on a GoPro.. you can buy a backpack that has a screen but baby its going to be pointed away from you when you're the Pilot... you can't see it. There is also a wi fi unit.. but again.. I would rather set and forget then burn my balloon worrying about lens angle...
That is why its a total crap shoot... Even I can't do both.. I can only set and hope. I had one cam fail last time I flew... Why... no my fault.. the damn firmware has a glitch on the one touch on setting... if your using it.. your camera may ( probably ) freeze.
So... When I set my cameras up. and turn them on before cold inflation I have them pointed as close to what I think is the best ( sweet spot ) angle. Most times I get what I want...
Sadly.. if I am not there to make sure.. cameras get bumped or nudged off.... Its still a good video.
While your there watch a few more and see what I am talking about when I say... not any video is the same... I expect there are ways to get it exact each time.. BORING!
So.. since I had such a hyper crappy day... i am going to go do somethin to take my mind off of it...
Enjoy your night... Hopefully you get a break from what is itching you where you cant scratch.
One of my favs for the turning....
