I went to your homepage.... I see Pitt River. I think I answered my own question.

Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

It's insta360 camera (with two fish eye lens) , nothing to do with mount. Pan is an effect of video editing.

They have a distinctive sound. I live about 1/4 west of 89AK and see a few of these fly over. We have a great view for watching civil and military aircraft. I can tell summer is coming because a couple DHC-2s with floats flew over today. There is a lake that is a few miles north of us that has a lot of plane traffic and it’s growing. There are a few airstrips connected to the lake.

Post more of these…please.

fully autonomous, self-flying.. :-)

100 percent! :-)

Thanks Chris, Happy Thanksgiving too!

Nope. Look at 1:30. See the shadow of the prop in front of the nose? I think it's a Lake amphibian with a pusher powerplant above the wing. This plane is a mid-wing. The Commanders is a high wing. Check here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Aircraft

Look closely at the fuselage and you can just make out a flying boat hull. Trailing link main gear definitely suggests Lake Renegade or Buccaneer

@@mothmagic1 I didn't know the trailing link mains were a mark of amphibs. Good to know. Thanks!

Haha :-) yes, there is some pitch variations, due to the gusty wind.

Thanks Robin for the invitation! My Lake is currently opened up for annual inspection. Some other time! Thanks!

There was strong tail wind, so it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'm getting a pair of Jacks first. Once jacked up, I will get AME to reseal the cylinder.

See th-cam.com/video/U7rqKA3U-Oc/w-d-xo.html , you can hear the hydraulic pump kept recycling in the cockpit, there is a major hydraulic leak at right main gear actuator. If I raise the gear up, when I reach the home airport, I may not be able to drop the gear down again.

@@yuz.flying l see..and yes l can hear the hydraulic pump screaming away! Sounds like it could be an expensive repair.. I can't remember if l told you or sent the video to you about the day my nose wheel fell off my Buccaneer?

@@jpb9064 Yes! I did see it. Nice you made your first successful water landing without any formal training!

Very likely, I flew to CYCW a lot last year!

Lake Buccaneer, a 4 seat flying boat amphibian with 200 horse power engine.

yeah, not effective at all. Not good idea to fly in heavy rain.

I always put flaps down when flying low and slow, especially close to water, also on the water. My pilot friend Phil likes to put flaps up when taxiing on the water. I suppose this can protect the flaps from water damage. But it's important to always remember to put the flaps down again when taking off. I'm too lazy to remember and perform this extra step during take off.

@@yuz.flying I don't think I would do it that way, but I'm not going to hold it against anyone who got to fly an LA-4 on the Island this past weekend....nice video.

I probably was actually blown sideways from the crosswind from the sea, you can see the windsock almost 90 degrees up.

:-) I don't stay in water long enough for this to happen.

@@yuz.flying thanks!

good point! will do next time.

Yes. in BC

@@yuz.flying Thanks. At first I thought it was Tri Cities, Washington.
