I have a DRIFT Stealth 1080 but this was taken with a chinese knock-off 720.off Ebay. Has worked well so far. I build little mounts myself, either bolting them to the bird somehow or potting (gluing) a threaded fitting into the fin tip and mounting it on a threaded rod. I use a 100ft wide runway and avoid the centerline as there can be debris there and I have a Pusher prop! Also a bit smoother off to the side a bit.
Thanks for the video, really good! Why does this Long EZ not have to rest in the nose-down before the pilot climbs aboard? I thought there was a risk of it falling backwards due to Center of Gravity issues (without pilot)?
Cool video and fantastic plane. Lots of CMOS sensor "jello-cam" going on though. You should decouple the camera from the vibrations or use a camera with a faster frame rate. I'm an indie film producer/director so I've had to deal with these issues, but not to the same degree as you're experiencing.
It is a beautiful airplane my favorite, with a beautiful video, and music nice enough that you could really have an enjoyable experience. Thanks.

Just woke up and saw this. Now I am inspired to get off the bed and reread EZ plans.
Great video! Loved the footage and the music! Keep up the good work!
The music from the first half is the main theme from the computer game "Medal of Honor", yes?
Great camera angel too watch from. This is one of the better ez inspired films on you.
Thanks for the video, really good!

I think Burt Routan was on the same level as Kelly Johnson. Thank you, great video.
At 5:52 your front wheel cam down, why?
It is a good idea to keep taxiway and rumway centerline. Don't you think?
What camera is it and where did u mount it. My dad has long EZ himself.
Is the second song on the vid something by Vangelis? Sounds about like his music. Great vid, thanks for posting. :)
Nice Landing what speed on that day?

Thanks mate
I think I uploaded it wrong, it is 720. My new ones are definately 1080.
720 HD cam? Erhmm why is the max 480 then? Nice spot to mount though ;-)
Great footage, but music, any music, spoils the experience I think.
