Video - I'm trying something new

[Citabria]

Hi Guys,

Anyone interested in coming for a few flights to see what they can do with a Video Camera in the 7GCBC?

In the past I have just held the Camera as you can see on
and I'd like to see what those with "some skill" could do.

I've seen some fantastic shots from outside, now how about coming along and having some fun from inside.

Any suggestions / experiments would be really appreciated.

We can do:
Training, (Wheelers/ Three pointers / Xwind / Side Slips)
Basic Aeros,
Formation,
Spinning,
STOL and anything else you would like.

I'll chip in the flying cost and you chip in the equipment.

Cheers

Andrew

I could be interested in that, though my Canon XL2 professional video camera is quite large. Is the aircraft roomy inside?

Where does it operate from? Ardmore?

I'm still working on a film of the Thunder Mustang for Simon, which I'll get finished one of these days.

I've just watched your film linked above. It's really nice and smooth - it is not easy to film in a plane usually as the camera picks up evey little bump. Great stuff. Anyway, PM me if you want to discuss setting up some filming.

Nice bit of video Andrew. At this rate I will be able to re-learn to drive a Citabria.

Andrew,

I might be able to help with some of your requirements. I have a small camera a Panasonic MX300 3CCD Optical Stabilized 12x zoom DV. Not as fancy as Dave's but does a reasonable job for it's size.
I live at Totara Heights near the Auckland Botanical Gardens so not far from Ardmore and am retired from full time work so available most days. Email me at [e-mail]

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, busy flying!

Thanks, I was a bit nervous posting this as I didn't want it to seem that I was looking for a commercial program.

Dave, it is Ardmore based so it might be a bit far away for you however my contact details are 027 294 2391 next time you are in Ardmore send me a text and if you are interested we can go for a fly.

Colin, perfect. I'm out most evenings when the weathers good and I'll drop you a line.

I look forward to posting the images for discussion and input.

Thanks again guys.

Andrew
