  • What were those 2 beeps indicating?

  • I assume it's an altitude alert to indicate to the pilots that they've descended below 200 feet, but I'm really not entirely sure

  • Radar alttitude warning

  • @Afrocanook The lasagne in the microwave is cooked.

  • sikorsky s-76 without a doubt, the engine noise is unmistakable

  • Ha I could see why. So are all these going to be on a full production documentary...or are you just being the helo enthusiast.

  • also, if you're every traveling on a plane with one, plan on getting stopped every time at security. It's a sealed heavy metal canister full of intricate moving parts that has a wire coming out of it and like an industrial sized battery.

    They usually put it through the x-ray a couple times before calling the supervisor to confirm whether or not its a bomb.

  • Thats amazing...so your making a series with all these clips?

  • it's a mechanism that looks kind of like a big metal pill that screws into the camera's tripod hole. Inside are weighted wheels that spin around very fast thanks to an electric motor and a huge battery pack that you have to carry with it.

    It takes awhile for the wheels to get to full speed, but once they do they produce a strong gyroscopic force that makes anything attached to them very steady.

  • I was like theres no way he fit a glidecam in there. Glide cam would pick up the viberations im sure anyways. I've never seen that type before... Is it like a stiff but flexible ball?
