Best Aerial Videos!

[earthsciteach]

Great vids! I really like the ManillaDunes virtual cockpit video. It is very much like flying in a real (forgive the term) airplane. Not sure what the blood splatter on the right hand window is all about. I can only assume it was a zombie prop strike upon escaping from the apocalypse. Beautiful dunes! Reminds my of my childhood home on the coast of southern Delaware. Sniff....

Eye, the relative movement between the aircraft and the camera lead me to suspect a gyro stabilized camera. Yes?

And what is the platform? I'm thinking Twin Otter perhaps?

I don't think so... But again I really don't know...

 

[JimCR120]

Fair enough, while we wait for Eye to weigh in on the matter, care to venture an explanation of your own?

 

[colorex]

If I were to start discussing that, I'd be wasting my time, since you are a very good maker-of-points, and I have never had enough good points on my side to finish the discussion. But anyway, I'll try to explain:

As you can see in the video, there is a rifle replica hanging in the cockpit. Also, there is "blood" on the window. Therefore, we must assume that the location of the plane (in a desert) is due to the location of the rebellious forces using it. Now if we analyze the meaning of the word "Gyro" (look it up in wikipedia) we see that they "In Greece, the meat is typically pork or lamb but can occasionally be chicken or veal, while in Cyprus it is most commonly pork or chicken" and there is hardly any chicken, pork, or lamb available so far out in the desert. Therefore, we are able to conclude that there is no Gyro in the desert.

Now for the real thing, I don't see any stabilization in relation to the plane, I only see panning...

 

[JimCR120]

Haha. Very well then. No gyros in the desert. Still, there is an obvious excess of movement that the camera leaves out. Much of the plane's pitching up and down as well as the right and left turns always precede the camera. To me, a gyro, or a showarma, or some sort of food wrap would explain this better than a static mounted camera with only pan and tilt control, which by the way, we really don't see anything that could be called a deliberate pan or tilt. The camera always remains operating within a certain "window".

By the way, having been to Greece several times, the gyros there totally taste way better than anywhere else I've had them. My favorite Greek sandwich was the express souvlaki in the pita with tzatziki. Not the processed meat phonies we see around here. Good stuff, nai!

This is just me thinking out loud, but... It looks like the camera is mounted on the horizontal stabilizer. The "corrective movements" are the result of the surface flexing with the control inputs. At least that's how it appears to me.

Are these taken with the GoPro?, they look very nice!

Yes Jim... that is the GoPro

Here is a video that I made with my Miniature Aircraft Rotor X 404:

Eric,
This is the first I've seen this! I love it!
Great job!

This is awesome! it's incredibly stable in the air, and the shots are very professional!

Eric,
This is the first I've seen this! I love it!
Great job!

Ah thanks Chad! ....is the first "real" video I filmed with it.

This video was filmed using a quad-copter that I designed and built. I designed this quad, to be exceptionally stable, it is not fast, or aerobatic in any way, but for filming it is proving to be more than amazing. No stabilization software was used on any of the shots in this video.

Enjoy!

 

[JimCR120]

Wow Eric! Nice video. I liked the aerial angles with the autumn leaves and water shots. All very nicely done.

I've got a friend at the church who we've been trying to get into flying but he's been holding off to support his photography. Maybe I can get him in with this.
