This is what is turning out to be SportCopte'rs FINAL version of the physical appearance of the SportCopter II GyroPlane.... The power-plant and propeller is still to be upgraded, but WOW.. what a nice machine.....

And... thanks to Randy,, my most favorite and most excellent helicopter pilot I know...

  • Why is the tail so low?

  • Rotor clearance..

  • @paraglide01 Rotor clearance

  • Well ok .. that's a great piece of camera equipment with optical stabilisation maybe it is that which gives the surreal quality to the images. Plus of course the excellent Chase+camera+gyroplane choreography.

  • Aerial photography is what I do, so I try to do it well.... Jim is a great gyro pilot and Randy is a great helicopter pilot so it all worked like a well oiled machine...

  • At around 3.23 I would expect to see some of the shadow of the chase helicopter on the tarmac if this is live action. Also the Gyrocopter generally has sharper definition than the near background (i.e. the grass) in the shots on the ground.

  • I think this is very funny.. I guess the quality of YouTube makes it hard to tell. This footage was all SHOT LIVE with my Sony FX1 HDV camera and I was in an R44 Astro Helicopter shooting it... During the landing we were far enough away, with a long lens to intentionally AVOID seeing our own shadow.

  • Why did you change the music??!! I loved the old guitar-driven theme. At least tell us who it was by and the title!

  • Love the gyro. Like the song even more. Who's the guitarist?????

  • Outstanding photo shoot!

    Some people don't understand how to do a proper video shot.

    The camera is one of the best on the market at $4000.00+.

    Due to FAA rules you had to keep at a distance. Watch the sun and season. It's around noon time and summer, shadow was almost dead overhead & center.

    Nice Gyrocopter as well, just a little over priced for todays market.

    Well done!

  • Music?

  • Im calling Wells Fargo right now to refinance my house.. I have to have 0ne...

  • @Copperstick and your point is??

  • Awesome machine, great video. Can you tell me what was the song you used? Sounds a bit like Joe Satriani...

  • Great Video ! We included your CLIP in our AWARDED-Video section !

    Let us know, when you make one with a little more KIDs friendly Music !!

    Keep-Up the good Work !

    Langga

  • Very Cool good landing!
