How to save your flight with patience and insistence

On that day, I arrived low to a tricky place and didn't find any lift there. The air was pretty stable down below. Lost a lot of altitude and needed to give my best for not bombing out in an area with limited landing options. Wait, search, and finally jump into a thermal bubble - this was my solution. A calm mind, patience, and insistence are required in the survival mode. Proximity flying and tight turning skills are important too. I was rewarded by a nice 100+ km triangle with stunning views for my efforts!

Enjoyed that, good scratching, well done! Do you have an XCTracer Maxx? Couldn't quite tell from the video but you're welcome to try my tones if so - it might give you a bit more info in weak lift...

Thanks for watching! Will try your setup for sure, it's a XCTracer Maxx, the 1st one.

[@leah.internet]

Love videos like these. Super helpful! I also have a 360 cam like you, but I'm not sure how to mount it. Do you give me some links for your setup? Thanks so much :)

[@dymanoid]

I use a simple clamp mount to attach the camera to the carabiner, something like this: www.amazon.com/ULANZI-Monitor-Ballhead-Adapter-Ronin-M/dp/B09C882D4M

[@backclipped888]

I use a visor clip mount to attach my 360 cam to the top of my flight deck. Just peeled back the Velcro on the deck face. It's centered and easy to fold down and out of the way (for launch).

[@Kurikost_]

buy a kneepad for mountainbikes and a screw plate for a gopro. Screw the plate on the kneepad...thats all.
Cheap and perfect.
If you have a pod harness, all you need is a magnetic mount.

[@delta_yeah]

That bubble wouldn't have worked for me!..

[@xistsixt]

Is this westside of Bassano?

[@dymanoid]

Yes, this is Laverda near Lusiana.

[@xistsixt]

@@dymanoid thought so, even though I never been so low there... Well done ✅

[@dudekerel7423]

Personality i think you took too much risk.
