Random flying videos thread

Hi Jason, very impressive. Interesting how much the plane yawed a couple of times. How strong was the wind?

It was 12 knots gusting 20 something. And a lot of hills around so pretty turbulent.

Time lapse going into Torp on Friday



London area

Was that done by taking stills say one per second and loading them into a movie editor, one per frame, i.e. a 25x speedup, or was it done by making a normal (e.g. 25fps) movie and speeding it up x times? Which editor did you use? It is very smooth.

It was done using the time lapse function on the iPad camera which automatically takes stills every 5s I think and makes them into a movie.

OK; thanks. I tried this a lot a few years ago. 1 every 5 sec produced a horribly jumpy movie, and of course the speedup was 125×. 1 every 1 sec was much better, and obviously was a 25x speedup. One could work out what speedup factor your was but probably not 125x (~13000kt ).

Here is a little one, done with the Sony FDR-1000V camera, externally mounted. It is self-hosted (due to the sound track) so just click on the picture to download it (500MB mp4).

Here’s another one with the Sony camera


The original 25mbits/sec version is 2.7GB; I think the vimeo version is far smaller since they downsample to about 5mbits/sec.

The camera footage was 50mbits/sec which looks awesome if you view it as-is but there is no practical way to host it other than on my own server space and while I have loads of bandwidth (200mbits/sec and 3TB/month, $25/month) I am limited to about 40GB storage and can’t afford to fill that up.

Another quick and dirty video – Shoreham and around the Isle of Wight, over Bembridge and Sandown


Everybody who I take up for a “local” really enjoys this scenic flight. It takes under an hour.
