hi, where do you mount the minicamera in this superb video?

[bobflyman]

@iupimen Thanks mate. I wear a full face helmet and mount the camera on a small plastic bracket I made that slots into the chin guard of the helmet. The little camera just sticks on with velcro so it's easy to remove and turn on and off.

looks very nice. It's been April since I had a fly. what distance was yours?

[bobflyman]

@k1ng401 Wow April, that's bad! Distance about 30k straight line or 33k with a turnpoint. I'm still buzzing which is good as the weather has gone crap again as usual.

[k1ng401]

@bobflyman yeah I know. But it's winter here and I've been OS for three weeks too so me and flyable days are just not coinciding :) Hope to get up there soon. Congrats on your flight, 33kms is fantastic and such beautiful country to fly over too. Hope to visit Britain one day and fly over your green and pleasant land.

@k1ng401 Just checked out ur Mt Broughton vid. Nice thermal and great sky. I guess ur in Oz. I visited in 2005 for 6 weeks and flew Bright, Manilla and quite a few other places. Had a great time.

Cracking flight Bob.  Sometimes patience pays off bigtime!

@RogerM9 Thanks Roger. Not walking back up from the bottom of the hill is also a great incentive not to take off too early as well!
