Helicopter Fuel Run / Camera Test

Posted on by

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

When I brought Wyrking Byrd to its summer home last week, I was too darn tired to make a fuel run before landing. With rain in the forecast and cherry season just a day away, I figured I’d better top it off, check out my camera setup — including a new camera mount — and try a new iPad mount. This is the footage I captured during this flight. It may come as no surprised to some of you that the audio camera didn’t capture intercom/cockpit audio so I wound up recording a narration track in the editing process. I hope you enjoy this!

Another video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

On May 5 — and yes, I know it says May 6 in the video — I took Mr Bleu out for a Flight around the Wenatchee area. Join me for a cockpit POV flight that includes cockpit narration and some radio work.

Clouds and Shadows Time-Lapse

A time-lapse movie from a late autumn day.

I’m a huge fan of time-lapse movies. To me, there’s nothing that does a better job bringing what looks like a motionless scene to life.

So I make a lot of time-lapse movies. You can find a bunch here in the Time-Lapse playlist on my personal YouTube channel.

The one here was shot a few days ago on December 1. I used one of my GoPro Hero 8 cameras in time-lapse mode, set to take a shot every 10 seconds. When you do the math, this means each second of video is 5 minutes of real time. The video here covers from just before dawn to just after sunset.

What’s most interesting about this video — honestly, there wasn’t much cloud activity — is the way you can see the shadow of the cliffs south of my home move across the landscape. The sun rises beyond those cliffs and this time of year I don’t see it on my home at all. I blogged about this phenomena, which I call the Shadow Time; this is a chance to see it in action.

I hope you enjoy this quick video. I’m hoping to share a lot more videos over the coming months as I travel south in Arizona and California. If you haven’t subscribed to my personal YouTube channel, please do. Once I get 1,000 subscribers, I can do livestreams from my cellphone and I’d really like to do live presentations at some of the places I visit. I’m only 18 subscribers short of this goal!
