How do you not have ten million subs?? This has got to be one of the most under rated channels on all of TH-cam. Please keep the great filmography coming!
Ryan, sweet flying, terrain and edit, as usual. Thank-you for the pig smoke chase cam tips, I will use them all, I hated when my line snagged the screw handle so much, lol. cheers and thanks. Jerry
Put me down on your list as the next “that guy” that you might have heard of that wants to fly with you! We’re so alike it’s eerie from the lifted Subaru to the qubik to the filming and flying style. 🤣🤙🏼 great stuff as always!
Beautiful scenery! I'm a new-ish pilot sitting here with the Smoke chase-cam I got for Christmas, so the set-up piece on this video was really helpful. Thank you!
Awesome Footage and Edit ! I put an external power bank on my chase cam a small 5000 mAh cylinder that adds good weight, balance and my battery can last 5+ hours
Nice!! I thought about that but then had thoughts about that much weight/drag. I also tried using my remote but the distance is just barely too far out of reach that it's not reliable. That would have been an easy fix. Especially so I dont end up with excessive amounts of unwanted footage.
@@UpcomingJedi I am still in trial and error stages of getting it set up. I added 12" and using the DJI Osmo Action Cam, but not getting a wide enough shot, so probably switching back to GoPro. The extra battery works great though, I attached it center of chase cam with velcro.
You Sir are one inspirational dude, I get really excited when I see a Ryan Southwell masterpiece uploaded! I fly the Qubik also, a solid wing, love it.
Dude Ryan these vids are all super awesome! I was wondering how you got such great shots of your flying and now I know! That thing looks super cool and way less complicated than what I was imagining. The 4k looks fantastic too. Arizona doesn't disappoint. Keep it up man!
It’s like Christmas morning starting with a Southwell video.... The ending.... And remember..... what.... what was he going to say? Guess I should subscribe and hit the bell to find out in his next video.
Yep. I dont have a fancy ay to close my videos that's "cool" (like a hand covering the lens with a whoosh sound) so I'll end my videos most unexpectedly. :) Gotta leave you hanging.
Great video and thank you for the skills!! tha way that you set it for the take off is the same that i used, and its awesome to see that you have the same idea! i saw a lot of people that set it behind the wing!!!
@@ryansouthwell Are you kidding? You have a great photographic eye, sound quality is top notch and you're a good storyteller. You're a guy I want to know.
Thanks so much Ryan for the chase cam tips! Especially the tie-in points and upside down method. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to improve stability. Can’t wait to give it a go!
Hey Ryan, love your videos! You should experiment with different line types and try to get it to a point where the line is invisible. That would be just perfect! Then let us know how you did it 😏.
Thanks for doing the chase cam info... been trying to figure out best stuff for mine and you have some great tips. Would love to see one on your hitch mount sometime. Awesome video.
I have my gopro connected to my phone. I turn the recording on and off from there when I think the shots will be worthwhile. This does help to extend the battery life on those longer flights.
For some reason my connection doesn’t stay locked on. If I lose it then I can’t reconnect and the rest of the flight it could be turned off. Might have to try more options.
I just did a chase cam video that I thought came out pretty cool, but now I see everything wrong with it. At least you gave me the secret sauce to fix it all!
doable I'm sure, but the weight isn't worth it. It's a find balance. More weight makes it hang lower which gets in the prop wash and the shot goes bad. The sweet spot is going as far back as you can with the camera without it dipping into your own prop wash. You could do a heavier and shorter line but that angle is weird to me.
I just do it as a joke, to validate my inability to be a good youtuber. Everyone has their "thing" on ending videos so I thought I'd mix it up. Hahah, go back to the Idaho Dunes video and watch that ending. :)
Yes, longer line. I used to have a setup that was more that way and I changed it up and lost the magic. Only issue is dealing with prop wash when it hangs that low.
The go pro camera batteries really seem to suck since they just cut off like on 7:47. Are you not worried that the chase cam would get tangled in the prop if its so close to your heels on takeoff?
Nah, the prop is usually high enough off the ground to not interfere with the chase cam. Realistically though, it's a half step behind me and not actually on my heels. I just wanted to make the point that it's better to launch with it up front rather than in the rear.
Hopefully this is comment #156,312 which would mean the sheer bad axe'ness of your content is finally being recognized. I've been to Sedona but have never seen it like this!

I have fallen in love with your videos man, you're true example of awesomeness ❤️🇮🇳
Ryan, sweet flying, terrain and edit, as usual. Thank-you for the pig smoke chase cam tips, I will use them all, I hated when my line snagged the screw handle so much, lol. cheers and thanks. Jerry
The best thing I can say is.....THANK YOU........and.....Good Shot Red 2!!
As long as at least one person gets the hidden Star Wars references in each video then my job is done :) Thanks.
First comment! Always good stuff Ryan! Flying Sedona is on my bucket list. Great tips for using the chase cam. 👍
👍🏼👍🏼 Chase cam tech talk and great videos
Scott’s a great tour guide in the air. Love the ending 🤣😂🤣 Cant wait to see how you portray our incredible Lake Powell trip!
I gotta go back for some more pickup shots. Looking for a slot canyon I can go in and get some ground shots in. Any ideas?
Thanks Ryan. Beautiful footage. Looking forward to the next one.
Great tip on putting the chase cam up close to you on launch
Put me down on your list as the next “that guy” that you might have heard of that wants to fly with you! We’re so alike it’s eerie from the lifted Subaru to the qubik to the filming and flying style. 🤣🤙🏼 great stuff as always!
Thanks for the chase cam tips. I have one and been dreading setting it up. This should give me a great jump off point!
Beautiful scenery! I'm a new-ish pilot sitting here with the Smoke chase-cam I got for Christmas, so the set-up piece on this video was really helpful. Thank you!
Well done sir!
So awesome. Thanks for the tips as well. You have tons of knowledge to share.
I appreciate that!
Awesome video, guaranteed Ryan quality 👌💪
Epic Ryan. And great tips on the chase cam..
Awesome Footage and Edit ! I put an external power bank on my chase cam a small 5000 mAh cylinder that adds good weight, balance and my battery can last 5+ hours

Do you have a video of your chase cam Rich?

I fly the Qubik also, a solid wing, love it.
Once again great video! My ppg smoke chase cam and strobes just arrived a couple days ago!
I'm so excited to get some training, a wing and motor and start flying!
Best of luck!
Another great video Ryan! Thanks for posting and sharing it with us!
Top notch & an explanation. 👍
Dude Ryan these vids are all super awesome! I was wondering how you got such great shots of your flying and now I know! That thing looks super cool and way less complicated than what I was imagining. The 4k looks fantastic too. Arizona doesn't disappoint. Keep it up man!
Fabulous video! Thanks for all the technical info.
Very nice Mr. S....

Great video and piloting. Thanks for the chase cam tips. Just started trying mine, so very timely!
Great videos mate.
Great video and thank you for the skills!! tha way that you set it for the take off is the same that i used, and its awesome to see that you have the same idea! i saw a lot of people that set it behind the wing!!!
Beautiful cinematography! I am looking to get into the sport this spring and am very excited. I’m glad I found your channel! Cheers!
Welcome aboard!
Really like what you do Ryan. Great video.
Glad you enjoy it!
@@ryansouthwell Are you kidding? You have a great photographic eye, sound quality is top notch and you're a good storyteller. You're a guy I want to know.
Great editing. You may have talked me into a chase cam
Gorgeous shots, as usual!
Amazing
I think I will just send you all my footage because my videos look worse and worse every time I watch one of your videos. Great job as always!
Ha, I have done SOOOO many test flights with this and I am still tweaking it. Takes a lot of flying and adjusting.
Thanks so much Ryan for the chase cam tips! Especially the tie-in points and upside down method. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to improve stability. Can’t wait to give it a go!
Happy to help!
Great Footage.
Nice info - thanks!
Hey Ryan, love your videos! You should experiment with different line types and try to get it to a point where the line is invisible. That would be just perfect! Then let us know how you did it 😏.
Yes. I have thought about it a few times. I think there are aftermarket options out there. Definitely worth exploring.
Maybe some sort of non-reflective fishing line 🤔
Thanks for doing the chase cam info... been trying to figure out best stuff for mine and you have some great tips. Would love to see one on your hitch mount sometime. Awesome video.
Whoa, you just gave me a fantastic idea. Can't wait to try it.
Nice vid bud!!

Haha I remember my go pro battery not being able to handle epic Sedona also haha
I just did a chase cam video that I thought came out pretty cool, but now I see everything wrong with it. At least you gave me the secret sauce to fix it all!
I'm sure there's more than one "right" way to do it. This is just my method.
Great tips! But what are we supposed to remember?
(𝑢𝑛)′=𝑛×𝑢𝑛−1×𝑢′
Coffee and Southwell.... good morning
Good morning to you too :) Sometimes you hate to throw out footage thats just so-so, so I try to set it up fancier than it really is. Ha!
Love it, I'm wondering if it's possible to add an external battery on a chase cam. Obvs much more weight, but do you think doable?
doable I'm sure, but the weight isn't worth it. It's a find balance. More weight makes it hang lower which gets in the prop wash and the shot goes bad. The sweet spot is going as far back as you can with the camera without it dipping into your own prop wash. You could do a heavier and shorter line but that angle is weird to me.
Awesome footage !!! Can you share which camera and setup you used?
Pretty sure this whole thing was on a Gopro Hero Black 8. Superview 4K
Just like Beggers cayon back home!
You make the best videos! But why you gotta leave that cliffhanger at the end?! Lol
I just do it as a joke, to validate my inability to be a good youtuber. Everyone has their "thing" on ending videos so I thought I'd mix it up. Hahah, go back to the Idaho Dunes video and watch that ending. :)
I like the chase cam tips. Is there a way to shoot the chase cam image so the Paramotor is above the horizon?
Yes, longer line. I used to have a setup that was more that way and I changed it up and lost the magic. Only issue is dealing with prop wash when it hangs that low.
The go pro camera batteries really seem to suck since they just cut off like on 7:47. Are you not worried that the chase cam would get tangled in the prop if its so close to your heels on takeoff?
Nah, the prop is usually high enough off the ground to not interfere with the chase cam. Realistically though, it's a half step behind me and not actually on my heels. I just wanted to make the point that it's better to launch with it up front rather than in the rear.
More more more more more more please!!!
It’s coming!
ONE MILLION VIEWS!!! LET'S GOOOOO!
Yep yep :)
Do you use any kind of protection for the camera? Doesn’t it get beat up on landing? Ok, maybe only my landings....
Yes actually, those little glass protection covers. I've gone through 3 already. Pays off since the Hero 8 doesn't have exchangeable lenses.
Thanks. I’ll look into getting some of those. Maybe I’ll see you at Salton Sea this winter.
what chase cam you use?
Watch the second half of the video. Very detailed. PPG Smoke.
Hopefully this is comment #156,312 which would mean the sheer bad axe'ness of your content is finally being recognized. I've been to Sedona but have never seen it like this!
Haha, I wish.
