Last Friday I called Learjet at his office and he sounded a little stressed. I reminded him that Friday = Flyday and de-stressing was required. We departed Morningstar at 16h00 and flew north to Yzerfontein routing low level through the Atlantis Dunes on the way. Just past Yzerfontein we turned and ...

Very nice clip, epic soundtrack!

Learjet wrote:abezzi... like you, Magni's are Italian!

I wondered if anyone would notice! I thought I would go Italian for the first video in honour of my Italian toy!

Hi Jean Dunno if it is a major issue. Computer at work blocks YouTube. Therefore try to watch it on mobile, but gets the message that owner didn't make it available for mobile. I can watch your low flying video via mobile, but not this one. Is their a block to be checked, or is it the format not su...

Quick footnote: Although the tailplane mounted camera shakes a bit, it does allow for some cool stills...



Jean.

adding short clips of the faces of the occupants makes for a more interesting video Thanks iWazzuu, that's a great idea, wouldn't have thought of that myself! The mounting might be a little tricky, but will give it some thought. If I put any more cameras on the plane it might not fly anymore!!! Jean.

You can also have a look at some of Centugyro's videos on youtube (a link below) to get some ideas

Thanks Mak, hadn't see this before, all helps with the ideas... he seemed to have quite a bit of shaking on his mast mount compared to mine...

Jean.

Ja, he did a good job after I reminded him that if the "Airman Of The Year" messed up, it would be beautifully rendered in full HD for all to appreciate!!!

For the last two weeks I've sat at home nursing a badly injured neck & shoulder with my arm in a sling. Unable to enjoy any of my usual activities (including flying) I have had time to ponder various ideas. As a professional photographer I have always considered video to be the "dark side" and have ...

Sitting here in Cape Town in the middle of a weekend of cold, wet non-flying weather, I thought I'd share a few pics and remarks from the past few weeks. I've had a few flights around the peninsula as well as some flights up into the mountains to see the snow. I've enjoyed some great flights as well...

Glen the answer is that you have posted your photos as attachments (i.e. they are physically hosted on the Microlighter's server) and the constraints for photos presented in this way are pretty limiting. The total size limitation is 100kb if I remember correctly and as you have pointed out they look...

Lately I've been trying to take some panoramic images while flying. Apart from the obvious challenges of flying and photographing at the same time, the issue with a panoramic image is that the scene changes constantly as the aircraft moves so you have to be quick otherwise stitching the photos toget...

Happy birthday Louis, hope it was a good one.

Will take 2 thanks Dave...

As I sit here writing this Cape Town is under assault by the weather gods. Nature's full arsenal of weather elements has been unleashed over the last 2 days and it would suffice to say that it is NOT flying weather. I am leaving in a few days time for the Wild Coast, where I will be spending the nex...
