Hey Ale! just found your channel thanks to a comment you made on mine (which i missed earlier sorry) and subscribed. Great video, love the happy pg-hg vibe. Being biwingual myself i love both sports, there is so much fun to be had out there. PS nice landing.
Hi Mr. or Mrs. Logger, thank you for your nice comment ! The effect was created by using an Insta360 camera (same size and format as a GoPro), which I mounted on my wing. The Atos has a velcro "lining" at the outer back of the wing, where the dacron cloth essentially "splits" so that I can insert the aluminium wing extension and connect the sail cloth to the outermost three ribs. I have a camera mount that has a magnetic base, so that the stick on which the camera is held in position by the magnet and the velcro strip. The effect you refer to is created in post-production (Insta360 editing studio), where I can pick and choose any camera angle I want. Because the lenses record a 360 degree panorama at 25fps, it always records "everything" - and I can then pick pan, zoom, and direction as I like from the existing footage.
@@Theworldofhanggliding- thank you for such thorough details! The camera must also have an electronic background stabilization feature, to keep the scenery steady. That was part of what made the video so pleasing to watch. The other was how you had enough pixel density to zoom in editing as you did, making it appear as though the camera was actually moving around, free of your wing. That was "the icing on the cake" that left me wondering how that was done. Good job! Thank you! I flew from age 30 to 62, ( 1980-2012) and my last wing was a WW Super-Sport 153. I flew mostly in Washington, USA. Chelan Butte and other sites. I love the L/D of more rigid wings like the Atos, but stuck with my lighter weight wing, for both cost and portability reasons. It got me high, took me farther than I had ever imagined I could, even though not competitive records, but personal bests. And oh, the STORIES! Ha-ha-ha! Fly long enough and we all have those! Take care. Thanks for sharing the fun video of your flight! Good flying, sir! (my posting name came from a moment of frustration logging in to a website. "Log me in, dang it!" I laughed and then used that one.)
Dennis, it's a 360° camera (made by a company called Insta360). That means: I mount the camera on the wing, and it captures a complete 360 degree panorama - for every frame of the recording. Later, when I cut the video, I can decide which camera angle/perspective I actually want (it also offers things like pan and zoom), and then export that particular angle as a movie clip. I then import that movie clip into my other video editing software, and "stitch it together" in there. So the video you see here was edited twice - so to speak. First, I had to view the footage I captured with the 360° camera, then I had to decide which angles/perspectives were the best, and export them to a separate video clip. Then, I had to edit to again in the other video editing suite. A lot of work - but the flexibility you get is AMAZING. It basically means you capture EVERYTHING - and decide later what to throw away. Brilliant !
@@Theworldofhanggliding That is brilliant man! Sounds like a lot of work, but the result is impressive, well done. Thanks for the reply and nice video. Wishes of blessings from South Africa!

Is it just me, or is that music frustrating to listen to? The characteristic that drives me to turning the sound off while watching this video is how the high background tones die off completely with every disco-beat "drum" thump. SO annoying. It is like covering and uncovering one's ears every half-second through the whole thing, or having a treble volume knob and constantly twisting it up and down with the beat of the disco-thump. Absolutely annoying. The closest I can describe this happening as a NATURAL result of sound amplification is when a stereo's amplifier is so under-powered and over-driven that it is simply not capable of handling the signal being fed to it. So, it diverts power momentarily from higher frequencies in order to create the lower frequencies. Creating audible lower frequencies takes a lot more power than high frequencies. Low tones are power hogs, and unless an amplifier is capable and not over-driven, it can usually manage to produce a thumping beat with barely noticeable damping of the higher notes. Even a power amp that is NOT over-driven will show a drop-off in the volume of high notes when low notes are in a sound track. To describe the effect another way, if an audio amplifier is able to produce, say, 100 watts of sound, it has to divide that up among all the frequencies being amplified. The speakers being driven share the total amplified output wattage. When the bass note is not strong, let's say 10 watts, more of the wattage, or up to 90 watts, is used in amplifying the higher frequencies. When a bass speaker is deflecting "wildly" at the peak of the "thump," it is being fed a large percentage of the total output from the amplifier. for that brief moment, there is far less power available for the tweeter and mid-range speakers, so the sound drops off drastically for the non-bass speakers, making the on-off-on-off-on sound in the higher frequencies. The worse the amplifer, the more this problem occurs. To my ears, it indicates very poor electronic amplification of the input microphone audio signal. If you are not an electronics-savvy person, then imagine the electricity to the speakers as water flow in a garden hose. Imagine that the hose is then fitted with an adapter that splits the one hose into two hoses. One of the two "teed" hoses is 1/4th the diameter of the other, and has a valve of those same ratios. That represents the different power requirements to make high and low notes. The small outlet represents the high notes speaker, the large outlet: the low notes speaker. how far the water stream shoots is analogous to how loud the sound is. Back at the main faucet control, turn the water on to deliver, say, 10psi. This would be analogous to a modest power supply. Open the small diameter outlet hose. It will have a steady stream. This represents the high notes coming from a speaker. Next, > Open the large diameter hose valve, and watch the stream from the small hose fade to almost nothing. > Close the big valve, and watch the small hose stream return to what it was before. This is what is happening with the power being delivered to speakers. The high notes drop to almost no volume when the low notes are receiving power. Even if you increase the source psi, there will still be a sharp drop in the stream flow from the small hose outlet when the large hose valve is opened. The best way to fix this is to not overdrive the amplifier, or increase the amplifier capacity so it does not noticeably rob power from the high notes to create the low notes. I suspect that the effect on this sound track is intentional, but like with all things, just because you can, doesn't always mean you should. Decades ago, Harmon Kardon was making stereo amplifiers with separate power supplies for left and right channels, so that each signal was discreet from the other, and cross-talk was minimized. It also had the effect of a bass note on one side not robbing any power from the other side. It sounded GREAT. Thank you for your time as I ranted here. Keep up the good flying, and the superb videography, and you might want to consider more soft music than an electronic disco thump background. "OK Mom, I'll come up from the basement and take out the trash in just a minute! Jeez! I'm online here!" ;)
Wow, 2 years passed, but I must admit that this rant was very educative for me. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with easy to understand analogies 😊
Gemeinsam fliegen macht sowas von Spass. 👍😁 Wenn ich nochmal auf die Welt komme, kaufe ich mir einen Atos. 😉 Viele Grüße Jörg - www.dfc-trier.com, www.paraski.de
Haha, Danke Jörg ! Ja, gemeinsam fliegen ist so, als ob es gleich doppelt so schön wäre. Der Max hat das echt gut gemacht, der Kurvenradius war wie mit dem Zirkel gezeichnet :-) Apropos Atos: mach doch mal einen Tandemflug ! Und gebraucht sind die Dinger gar nicht SOOO teuer. Falls es Dich mal nach Berlin verschlägt - schau mal beim Martin Ackermann von FlyMagic vorbei, der ist einfach klasse. Wenn Du einmal mitgeflogen bist, kannst Du besser entscheiden, ob das nicht vielleicht doch was für Dich wäre ;-) Ich komm 2021 mal zu euch, dann fliegen wir gemeinsam ! Guten Rutsch !
@@Theworldofhanggliding Danke für die guten Wünsche. Dir auch einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Ich fliege ja selbst nicht mehr Drachen. Aber wenn du mal nach Serrig oder Neumagen kommst, sag Bescheid. Der 1. Vorsitzende ist ein guter Kollege von mir und ich kann ihn dann informieren. Vielleicht komme ich auch zum kucken vorbei. Viele Grüße Jörg
I flew HG for 13 years, switched to PG for going on 17 years 79 years old and have shared thermals many times . Still doing it.
You are still flying now, Gerry?
@@mikebreen2890 Yes, as soon as the snow goes.
I’m 76 and waffling between hg and pg ….the darn hg is getting heavier or I’m getting weaker ?😩😩😩
@@martinpolach1330 There are some pretty light HG but PG can be extremely light. PG I think in easier to learn , a lot depends on instructors .

Great soundtrack for tearin' up the ridge.
schönes Video! Eine 360er ist schon ein tolles Spielzeug ;o)
How the heck did you create those camera movements?? That was excellent!! What kind of camera?
Keep on flying!

Very nice!! How does this camera work? Is it a type of floating camera or what? It gives an interesting point of view
