21000 pieds= 6400 mètres c'était en vol d'onde?
gregv 2 years ago

oui en vol d'onde dans la vallée de zermat, il faisait super froid mais le paysage était surréaliste, la "colline" qui sort des lenticulaires à 5:17 c'est le cervin (4480m)

Salut.
Je suis un pilote paramoteur. J'ai teste 2 fois le vol a voile, pres de chez moi (a Madrid). Bof.... pas terrible.
Mais la.... alors la..... j'avoie que je suis impresione. Vraiment. Ça me donne une grosse envie de recommencer l'experience.
Des images spendides, avec un montage tres cool.
Merci gregv.
Saludos,
Patricio.

Some very original methods of capturing your flight. Very nice.
Is there another way to download the HD video. I get an endless "connecting" on my tabs and it never downloads.
Thanks

Excellent, thanks for sharing. I would love to see your setup for taking video from outside the canopy.
gregv 2 years ago

thanks for nice comments, my setup is quite simple: it is my hand that holds the camera trough the canopy window. The tricky part is to hold it tight so it don't shake too much (and to fly with the other hand too). I corrected some shaking with a stabilization software (Istabilize) during the editing of the video

économisons les superlatifs, voila un poème vidéo de la plus belle eau.
"Et l'harmonie est trop exquise(...)
pour que l'impuissante analyse
en note les nombreux accords
Ô métamorphose mystique
de tous mes sens réuni en un
Son haleine fait la musique
comme sa voix fait le parfum"
Le grand Baudelaire a su peindre comme personne les mouvements de l'âme saisie par la Beauté ; dans ces vers,celle d'une femme. Merci Greg de nous avoir
montré,avec tant de sensibilité,celle de Mère nature et celle du vol dans sa forme la plus aboutie.

Totally nice video! How did you mount the camera? Was it on the wing or fuselage? I have a gopro hd on the way to get some soaring shots here in Tucson. Dawg
gregv 1 year ago

Thank you!, camera is held with my left hand trough the canopy little window, I must do that because I don't have enough memory or battery to last all the flight long, so I must turn it on/off when needed. gopro hd should give you better quality!
Happy flying!

Ich fliege diese route auch oftmals, wirklich ein Traum. Wir starten immer in Sion.Am Muttertag ist es wieder soweit. Wir brauchen immer einige Helfer, die meisten von uns sind im Rollstuhl, und wir können nicht selber steuern. Desshalb geniessen wir es besonders. Wenn der Pistenarzt günes Licht gibt. Ein besonders danke schön an de club vol à voile a Sion
