Your video has no "bounce" it doesn't give me a headache to watch! This is great! Is it due to the quality of the camera, the quality of the paramotor, or just no wind? Some of the other vids on youtube are terrible from a sky surfer. thanks!
@wrduckclub I this was captured with a Pentax Optio S7 camera. It weighs 152G when I have it packaged and hanging directly below the center of gravity on the below the chassis of the Sky Surfer. The extra weight and hanging low helps to stabilize the video a bit. Also the wind coming across the flat ocean is usually pretty smooth and consistent. I recently upgraded to a new GOPRO HD WIDE camera. Nice too. HD Video and it's lighter.
I have, I modded mine also. 1350mAh, 2S 7.4V 69g, w/eFlite Park 370 5400KVM, 20 AMP ESC, Futuba FAAST TX/RX. GentLED IR Remote for a Pentax Optio S7. Works pretty good. It's pretty much max weight for the stock wing. Because the cam is suspended below I hand launch, and catch recover. Always fun! I'd like something a bit larger but still public park friendly.
Thanks for posting your Sky Surfer videos. I've found that the weight of the chassis should be no more than about 526g. I've flown with that weight but it took a while to climb and not alot of extra power. I've had good luck with lightweight Pentax Optio Cameras .

Be sure to get a glimpse of the two vintage warbirds that cruise by the Beach at 3:13.
