As a part of the support to a group of world renown geologist, micro paleontologist, oceanographers, geochemist, cryomagnetist and a crew totaling 130, we all spent 9 weeks onboard the RV JOIDES Resolution in upper Baffin Bay. We were 74.5 degrees North located 13 miles off the coast studying the underwater slope structure of the sea floor which is unique there. We could see the monument to Captain Peery on the mountain in the distance. I was fortunate to have been on over 25 missions and by far this one was by far the most beautiful including that of Antarctica. The icebergs flowed past us like a freeway in the distance. The mission was timed to end when the sea ice began to form around us. As we had no icebreakers escort as we did in the Antarctic, we had to leave. Our hull was ice rated snd double but not icebreaker rated. I am retired now having served as the Senior Imaging Specialist for the program and this crew. It’s a great big beautiful world. Do what you can to see as much of it while you can.
Hi Beeqool, the pilot is 1,85m. But as his instructor I had to push him a little forward to make room for a back seat stick that had not been fitted correctly - lucky we had a new stick shipped during the first week of training. Normally pilots up to 1.95 has no problem flying the Calidus. The view at 1:10 is a typical GoPro image, a little distorted but cool!
I know this is an old vid now, but perhaps you can recall - I hear the rear seat in a Calidus gets pretty uncomfortable on long flights. Would you say so?
how tall is the pilot? is there a lot of room in the cockpit? it looks like the pilots head is right against the canopy. i think you should make a whole video with that view at 1.10 that looks very great and realistic.
I used Canon s100, GoPro and Panasonic HPX171. Editing is done in Final Cut Pro. The challenge when shooting in a compressed codec like H264 is your very limited options in post production. Thanks for watching!

Nice commentary and no annoying music...some of us would rather listen to the sound of the engine, makes the adventure with you more pleasurable.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for posting, God bless!
Looking into purchasing a Cavalon. Awesome video. Beautiful scenery. SC, USA.

great landscapes, great flying! I have a dream about doing this but I probably never will, thanks to u-tube its like doing it
Was at the wreck site of a falcon autogyro plane?
What camera did you use for filming? Very nice and sharp video. Good luck and keep the rotor spinning!!!
Very nice place. It looks like our Alps, but more extreme. Intense flight...
great video
Mate its a beautiful looking machine inside and out most gyrocopters are very home made looking
From Australia- Good times mate! Gyros look like a lot of fun! I heard they crashed a lot back in the day.
Just to be sure: did you fly the gyro to Greenland too? I'm investigating a crossing from Europe to Americas. Therefore the question.
if you like the Calidus then you should defiantly check out the Arrow-copter, now that's a piece of art.
