Soaring to cloudbase on my Wills Wing T2C hang glider at Sylmar. Dual vertical mounted GoPro HD cameras on my keel for a clean 180 degree wide field of view. Full res version availabale for download: http://vimeo.com/9352409
@pdutube Thanks. Watch the "New Narrated 38-mile Flight" for an improved version of that camera technique. I'm working toward making a worthwhile documentary.
Thanks. These are GoPro HDs. The effective FOV is 131º x 100º. 170º is diag. w/o lens cover which reduces by 6%. I remember the original Thomas Crown Affair very well. I may try 3 cameras for a true 285º FOV. Be sure to see my newer videos too,
This is the best hang gliding video I've seen. And it's easily one of the best videos on all of YouTube. This could be part of an epic movie.

Great looking video Jon.
Now I want a A Go-Pro HD
Did you use to of the older Go-Pro cameras that don't have the 170 degree capability at 720 p ?
Wouldn't a single 170 deg get both wingtips in the frame ?
Regardless , a very nice outcome !
Imagine a split screen / four angle camera mount, in real time !
As in Norman Jewison's The Thomas Crown Affair
