Lancair 360 enroute to Indianapolis at 10,000 feet (full HD)

[Dominoes282]

Mmmm Im weary of Lancair after a 15 year helicopter test pilot veteran died after crashing because of a failed engine at 400 feet after take off at my home airport (Brand new Lancair Evo Turbo)

looks like you cant be a big guy to fly in a lancair does it?

[coma13794]

Small world, I have the same plan, and as of a few months ago, my bro in law now has exactly the same camera. We're planning a trip along the Hudson to get some footage of NYC. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

@coma13794 Cool, it will help if he has a wide angle lens. I photographed this with the Canon 16-35mm F2.8L at 16mm. Send me a link when you get some video on-line.

[HDaviator]

That is what being a pilot is all about. Sometimes you get so caught up with the instruments, radios and flying the airplane, that you forget to just sit back and look out the window.

appears as though alot of people are more intrested in the camera than the plane.

great plane...

and quality

[Spacepacer]

Incredible visibilty through that canopy

[typhonfighter]

Amazing! The cockpit of this aircraft is just awesome! Great videoquality as well!

[RogerDeanSmart]

Very nice quality video, and appears to be such a pristine Lancair! Great job!

[MetaView7]

does the canopy has UV block?

it would be a torture to sit under the sun for extended period of time.

[mrjetdoc35]

very very nice aircraft.

the image quality is amazing, and I don't have HD capabilities on my computer.

A quality lens makes all the difference, it seems.

[richbradbury]

It's the camera and lens, read below!

[mpturcotte]

Sooo frickin' cool. Who needs the airlines, airports, and TSA when you have one of these?

[ibewcountry]

If you really feel that way, I suggest you support your local small airport.

1920x1080 ? this is 1080p no ?

[richbradbury]

Yes, it was recorded in full 1080P (1920 x 1080 progressive). But, I believe YouTube converts it to 720P. So the actual footage is better than you're seeing here (even when HD is selected). Plus the actual footage looks awesome on a 50 inch plasma.

[jhyacinth]

@richbradbury Rich, how did the camera pan to the front of the plane looking back at both fliers?

[Xforceman]

Amazing quality.How big resolution can record with this camera ?

[Eddyisgreat]

^ Jealous. Looks very cool guys. Love the DSLR video making waves (I have a d90).

What were the operational costs for this trip?

[gumimalac]

is that carpet your hauling in the back?

[julienlepilote]

clouds like cream !! good vidéo

[lancair360mk2]

Awesome Video. Inspires me to keep building my lancair.

What video camera were you using? The quality is outstanding!.

[richbradbury]

It's shot with a Canon SLR still camera, not a regular video camera. Canon released the Canon 5D Mark II around December of 2008. It's the only SLR to shoot full 1080P video onto a full 35mm image sensor. This allows me to use my professional Canon L series lenses. The shot of the Lancair was done with the 16-35mm F2.8 L II from Canon at 16mm. No HD video camera on the market today can compete because their image sensors are tiny in comparison. The "Red" camera is an exception at $30,000.

[Dash8100300]

I admit, I am soo jealous. Keep the videos coming..

[prco12321]

wow.this is best quality video on youtube

[coma13794]

in any case, this inspired me to pull the trigger and buy one. It's comin' on Monday!

[TRANSFORMER2508]

N...I...C....E

[jagranzoto]

hello, this one is an FG or RG?

[coma13794]

really nice work on the full HD! I've always been curious, will a 6'0 220lb guy fit into a Lancair 360?
