Join us in our Cessna Cardinal 177RG as we fly from Page Arizona to Santa Fe New Mexico. We fly over amazing scenery near Lake Powell and the breath taking Monument Valley.
That part of the country is our favorite. As I have watched the videos of Sedona, the GC, and Monument Valley from the perspective of the airplane I can only think of two words....Stunning and Unforgiving
Wow! Super photography (and music). Would love to see the camera mount you are using. It's amazing how the early pioneers coped with such a vast and rugged country!
Insane footage. Not many landing options near lake Powell. I heard winds and down drafts can be bad there by the mountains. Did you take any special precautions? -MA seacoast flyer
Winds were fine but we felt a few bumps going around Navajo Mountain. Other than a few bumps here and there it was a great flight. Winds further out west were crazy strong so that's why we called it a night in Santa Fe.
Great video! I have a 75RG and was over that area back in January but we landed in Moab. What 360 camera and mount do you have? Also, how is the scene selection done? In flight or in "post production"? Only had my plane for a couple of years but it's probably my forever airplane 😃.
Cardinals are great, pretty hard to replace. I use the Insta 360X3 on the wing screwed into the jack stand pad locations. The 360 is an amazing tool, you only need to hit record when you want to capture anything, all the work is done after in post production. So it's a camera that adds TONS of time in the editing process but the unlimited ability to pan, zoom, re-frame, crop, rotate allows for some amazing shots after. Tons of work but if your ok with editing and creating shots after, buy one, otherwise, you will have Gigs of footage and no patience to sort it out.
@@gogilgauHi Gil and thank you for the reply. OF course! The Jack Stand pad holes! I was thinking the wing tiedown but that seems way better. I'll definitely look at the insta 360. Is it a newer version and do your have external power or does it run long enough? I retired last year and did video production for Space Systems Command and used AVID Media Composer. I just need to find another edit software that I can be "friends with".
@@peteranninos2506 I am using the Insta 360 version X3, about a year old. I didn't bother running power to the camera for two reasons. 1 - Camera can be remotely turned on / off from my phone while inside the plane so only turn it on / off at key moment. #2 - Raw files are quite large and need to be stitched using their insta 360 software, takes many hours to render and now double the file sizes again. As an editor (i use Final Cut pro) but used Avid also, i just grab the key clips and choose the pan, tilt, zoom, rotation as i wish in my editor, Takes tons of time but results are amazing. Long story short, last thing you want is 3 hours of 360 footage to transfer, convert and browse.
Hi Gil and thank you again. I'll definitely have a look at that camera and be prepared for some pretty big files! We have Adobe premiere and Sony Vegas at our local TV (P.E.G.) station where I run it for free. I'll have to learn one of those. Keep up the interesting videos! They give me inspiration 😃.
Awesome landscape...Great music...thx
Great video ..
