The lower cloudbase was marking the convergence of the north wind with the airmas of the north Italy Milano plains area. Basically a type of small sea breeze front. Your videos are the best soaring videos on the net. If you could somehow get a compas rose on the screen it would help determine you flight direction and also where you are looking for thermals depending on time of day.
As a New Zealand Hang Gliding pilot recently living in the Alps. Man impressive. I'm slowly trying to break into this place. Nice to see what's possible. Amazing.
Thanks for the videos! Amazing. It interesting for one video and instructive if you explain how do take the decision if it is safe or not to fly on the lee side.
im new to your channel but i absolutely love it!!!!!!! Is there any chance you could upload a full video of one of your big trips but without speeding it up. I realize it will be hours long but i think people would love it! i love playing these when i go to sleep or read or just relaxing! thanks man and keep up the great work
Hmm, not sure if that would really be interesting. In principal I could upload the original 360 deg. Video so one could look in every direction. Comment if you would find that interesting!
Exzellent, war echt spannend anzusehen. Zu den kleinen Wölkchen - ich glaube nicht, daß es "Rotorwolken" waren. Etwas tiefbasiger als die umgebenden Cumuli, ja - das kann aber von feuchterem Boden / feuchterer oder wärmerer Luft kommen, so daß der Taupunkt höher liegt. Evtl. war auch die Luftschicht nicht homogen temperiert, in der Du unterwegs warst. Rotorwolken bilden sich ja immer wenn ein etwas stärkerer Wind über eine entsprechend geformte Kante strömt, also auch bei den anderen Cumuli - nur, daß sie halt nicht sichtbar sind, weil der Taupunkt erst weiter oben erreicht wird. Für Rotorwolken schienen sie mir außerdem zu weit über Grathöhe.
you should keep producing this stuff. there is not much else out there and i think with the dramatical growing number of cross country paragliders this could maybe become a source of income. you could propably hit the 100k subscribers line.
You make these huge jumps over valleys and often arrive on the lee side. it looks like you have nearly zero sink most of the time. How high do you estimate your glide ratio? It makes me really scratching the head...
Actually, I had a lot of sink (when heading to the lee side). Its a bit deceptive because everything goes so fast, but it felt loong when hearing the sink alarm for several minutes... I guess gliders like to Zeolite can deliver around 1:10 glide ratio in calm air.
Sebastian, I’ve watched a few more of your hyper lapse videos and I’m super impressed. I want to make my own. What is your technique? Do you record the entire flight at normal speed, and then do the hyper lapse in post production? Or do you just rely on your camera’s hyper lapse? What camera and what settings do you use? Thanks!
@Tushar Pokle, here i answer most questions: th-cam.com/video/0a_0t-0_G4I/w-d-xo.html In short i use a insta360 oneR and shoot with the standard settings and speed it up in the (now desktop) app. Have fun creating!
Hi Sebastian, love your videos! If you don’t mind me asking what is your camera / battery setup? I fly with a 360 cam but have nowhere near the battery power or storage space to film for as long as you do. Would appreciate a DM, cheers!
Wow, that was impressive! Bet it can be pretty hairraising when you have to cross a big valley with no nice cumuls around. You must use a big powerbank (and card) to keep the camera rolling :-)
Mass hysteria amongst travel enthusiasts caused by plane ticket prices getting out of control combined with environmental concerns surrounding greenhouse gas emision from jet fuel, a Legend named Sebastian Benz has turned towards a more sustainable way of air transportation by sitting on a chair, trusting a piece of fabric and knots while 2,000 feet in the air, feeling the closest you'll get to being a bird without worrying about paying rent. But seriously, how often do you sing to yourself I'm Like A Bird by Nelly Furtado whilst being up there?

These videos are great! I really like the commentary with the timelapse. Its informative and inspirational
Immer wieder eine Freude!
wauw, incredible footage and great inside view of XC paragliding! thank you and congratulations
Another cracking video. Keep them coming. The comment further down about adding a compass would be a super addition if it were possible!
fliegerisch und vom Filmen her absolut herausragend! Danke für´s Teilen Deiner Flüge, sehr inspirierend!
Would love to see your launches before switching to a hyperlapse replay. Liked and already subscribed.
Great flight, and great video... thanks
Amazing flight, vídeo and your comments! So much to learn from it 🤟☝😉😉👏 Congratulations!!!
As a New Zealand Hang Gliding pilot recently living in the Alps. Man impressive. I'm slowly trying to break into this place. Nice to see what's possible. Amazing.
I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Soooo great again!! Love it, thanks Seb for delivering another perfect debriefing - and congrats to your flight of course! 🤘👍
Thanks Lex!
Directly after the xalps torture... Something nice and beautiful.
Thank you very much for the sportive and pittoresk vids in Switzerland light!
Of course I had enjoyed. You are the best ❤️
Amazing…thanks for sharing this flight with us
Thank you very much! always interesting and very cool voice over with every details that you provide!
awsome idea to film this in hyperlapse !
That's quite a nice flight, and video, + nice scenery, despite the hyper-lapse. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Or because of the hyperlapse? Its always difficult to transmit the feeling of paragliding in a video.
Congrats! really inspiring
Thanks for the videos! Amazing. It interesting for one video and instructive if you explain how do take the decision if it is safe or not to fly on the lee side.
great job dude !! 👍👍👏
Master at this game
Absolutely enjoy your video!! would love to see some tutorials on meterology
Always look forward to your videos, again great and informative stuff 👌
wow what a flight

Yess, please
I would also like slow version.Maybe 8x faster version, so i can check all the details and decisions.
a flight like this is 8-9 hours ;-)
Hmm, not sure if that would really be interesting. In principal I could upload the original 360 deg. Video so one could look in every direction. Comment if you would find that interesting!
@@sebastianbenz5336 trust me. A 6 hour video of your flight playing in real time while i study or read or even sleep would be killer!!
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! I love this kind of videos, we learn a lot! ThAnKs!
Wahoo, it's amazing video for learning, and fly with you.
Thanks a lot Sebastian, it's great.
Thks
Yayy, thanks!
Wow that was amazing! Awesome flight and thank you for sharing!
Great flight, great movie!
amazing footage & a wealth of knowledge, thanx4sharing🙌
Woooow! nothing else I can say
Great! Thanks a lot. Can't wait for another one!
Liked and subscribed! Amazing video can't wait to see more
Crazy good...
Very good, thanks for the video 👍🎉

Danke für deine Einschätzung. Verwirrend ist für mich unterschiedliche Basen nebeneinander zu haben ohne klare Luftmassengrenze...
Nice flight 👍🏻
Mervelous ! Thanks a lot Sebastian
Small clouds lower base maybe a small convergence between the meteo wind and mountain breeze?
Brilliant training video, thanks
Hello Sebastian, could you please share how the footage and editing was done?
wonderful thanks for sharing
veeeery cool, thanks!
Loved it brother
Beautiful 🤩 I learn so much from your videos.
How did you manage to record the whole flight? Where you using an external battery?
great video ! as good as the flight, don't change anything !
geiler flug und heftige aufnahmen
Spectacular

Wow how long is a flight like this?
Hammer Ufnahme! Danke fürs Teile :D

@@sebastianbenz5336 what's your review and opinion for the zeolite as your main wing for xc ??
Have you ever been able to not get lift and end up on top of one of these ridges?
If you can't get lift one can usually still fly down to the valley flore, which happened plenty of times to me...
thx for another great vid

What a great video! How do you record such a long flight with your gopro? 1tb sd card? 😃

I use a 512 gb memory card, and an external battery pack: th-cam.com/video/0a_0t-0_G4I/w-d-xo.html
grosses kino 💪🏼🤩
Thanks so much! Looks like your GoPro max is doing an amazing job stabalizing 360 footage! Are you shooting in timewrap?
He is using the Insta360 One R, see here: th-cam.com/video/0a_0t-0_G4I/w-d-xo.html
Thats correct!
definitely better than my 360 one X ! ... but his skills are also far greater than mine ...
Wow, that was impressive! Bet it can be pretty hairraising when you have to cross a big valley with no nice cumuls around. You must use a big powerbank (and card) to keep the camera rolling :-)
Yes, 512 gb and 25000 mah🙃
Amazing footage❤
Great!!
Amazing. Which wing are you flying?
I'm flying mostly the Ozone Zeolite GT
Great video ! ... thanks for the share ! (speed of hyperlapse was 64 x ? ... or even greater ?)
Yes 64x
How the French toast do you edit this?!
Like this: th-cam.com/video/0a_0t-0_G4I/w-d-xo.html
Brutal
As allways, muy contento :D.
cooles Video
2:30 klingt wie Schwarzenegger 🙂
👍🏻🤩
Your videos of flights are the best.. dont go 360, too much distortion with 360 cams
add a map! otherwise crazzzzy!!!!!
