Hi, Thanks for posting the video. Very well done. May I ask where Is the chase cam attached ( trailing edge? How far left or right of centre cell? How long is the line attached from the wing to the cam?) Thank you for your time Brett
The line is about 12 1/2 feet long. I use a neon yellow braided nylon mason's line. It's fastened with a small locking metal oval at the trailing edge where the brake line is fixed to the wing. Each wing is different, but I try to use the attachment point at the approximate point where the stabilo changes angle to blend into the horizontal part of the wing.
I've posted a link to DoronDekel's chase came construction/demo video at the bottom of the video description section. Urls aren't allowed in the comment section.
I can never get enough of watching the videos, this one came out really nice. It's still a great video even though I didn't get listed at the end. lol. I can't wait to get back out there. I want to fly with the chase cam again with smoother air. Scott
Scott OMG - I can't believe I missed putting your name on the list! Mea culpa!
I probably shouldn't try to finish editing at 3:30 in the morning, anymore. Please forgive my oversight. I had other video of you, too, that just didn't fit this song. much of the chase cam stuff I have of you is either too dark, or too bumpy. It was very active, that morning!
The chase cam is a Kodak Playsport HD1080. $120 at Sam's Club, here in the states. It's waterproof to 3m, shock resistant, and will shoot 1080p/30, 720p/30 OR 60fps, or WVGA. Shoe cam and helmet cam were the GoPro Hero HD. Most shots were at 720p, some at 480. I could have uploaded at 720, but my computer can't quite keep up with that. The Kodak camera does NOT have a wide angle lens-- so the chase cam footage accurately captures what it's really like to be up there, flying. :-)
Doron, it is I who should thank you-- for the video you posted on how to make a chase cam. About thirty bucks and and hour or so of time on a rainy evening, and it was done. We did initial tests of it with me standing in the bed of a pickup truck going 20 miles an hour. After a couple test flights we got the aim dialed in.
@FlyingLaundryLLC Very satisfying to know I contributed something! I'm still not happy with the roll stability of the chase cam, especially when the air is a bit unstable. I have a couple of ideas of my own to try, but am also interested in other people's suggestions, so feel invited to share.
Great video. Awesome pictures from the chase cam, great editing, and superb music. Thanks for sharing.
