John Barresi Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Here's the aerial "RevCam" video iQuad shot this weekend at the 2007 Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon, WA... MP4 - http://www.kitevideo.net/iquad_us/iquad07_flywithus.mp4 (41 MB) A larger version will be available in an hour or so, uploading now... MPG - http://www.kitevideo.net/iquad_us/iquad07_flywithus.mpg (424 MB) Thanks to Bruce (harrier) for the camera rig, and to my teammates, for not flying up my butt during filming. Quote
Baloo Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Phenominal is the word (not sure if I spelt it right, you know what I mean) I think the most interesting thing is being able to see what a Rev is doing in the air close up. The colours on the ground make it more interesting. And the looks on the faces as they fly past. Good job you didnt do any fast spins, would have been a bit shocking. Question for John. It seems that you were able to adjust the angle of the camera on the "rig", presume this is similar to the one Harrier showed you in Blackheath?? Seems like he has done an "upgrade" Quote
John Barresi Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Posted April 18, 2007 The one in Blackheath was adjustable as well, we just didn't spend much time on it when I was there. Far as I know, my rig is identical... It came directly from Harrier. Quote
Baloo Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Will have to get in touch with him. Thanks John. Quote
harrier Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Nice to be up with the kites John, and some great flying. What vid camera did you fly? Baloo, there are several differences between the camera mount used at Blackheath and the mount John now has. The camera has a greater range of movement now and the mount is lighter. We have been waiting for some suitable weather to try the next mod, this is to stiffen things up a bit and lessen camera shake. The long settled spell of high pressure weather is very nice but the lack of wind here is a bit frustrating........perhaps tomorrow. Quote
John Barresi Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Posted April 18, 2007 I used my Samsung L60... A whopping 129.5 grams. There's got to be something lighter that will give me comparable or better video, but I've yet to find it. Quote
