Skydive video from inside the aircraft using a Go Pro.
« on: August 13, 2010, 09:23:38 AM »
The video guy at the dropzone handed me the Go Pro and this is the result he came up with. I'm dropping first time student skydivers. It's a lot less boring speeded up set to rock music. The second half is mostly stills of the guys and girls at the dropzone having fun. But no one drank beer while I was flying and I didn't make that low pass either.

The Go Pro is great. I had no idea of how much it would show.

Niiiice!  In high speed like that it looks like it's happening like this:

"Let me open the door so we can get a better view... oh wow!  Lean out there take a good look!  Beautiful, huh?  Oh look out a little more.. OOOOOPS!  DID I DO THAT!!?"

haha nice though.. I envy you...

Indeed Tigger looks like the jumpmaster? is just HEAVING those guys out.  I got to giggling about it.

Great Vid CP.  What song was that? I'm going to add it to my playlist.

Cool stuff in high speed. The camera quality is exceptional, that's a great advert for GoPro. Sorry, I couldnt resist a little Gary Larson inpired fun :D

And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

The band is Rev theory, the song 'Hell Yeah' an American band. I'm going to download it as well.

 Shane the video guy at the dropzone has some cool stuff. He trained as a movie film editor. Check out gonzoporto on youtube.

If your buddies jumpers really drink a beer on board of the plane right before jump they are morons  and you can loose your license.

Second thought, you are not  smartest cookie in the jar if you posted beer picture in this slideshow.

:rolleyes: Sigh!! You have missed the obvious. They were travelling as passengers on the plane not jumping. Take a look at the luggage piled at the back in one photo. Did you notice the body board? One guy is wearing a headset and a baseball cap. Not really skydive gear? It's a legal requirement to wear rigs when there are no seats on a Skydive aircraft. No one jumped out that day. They can drink beer if they like as long as I don't. I prefer Vodka myself, straight. :neener:

In any case I wasn't even flying that day so my licence is safe.

Nice Vid, Im afraid of heights, so I don't jump. Maybe 1 day I might.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

You would be amazed how many people sit on the plane and tell us that. 'I'm afraid of heights and I don't like planes'. But they still jump. One girl recently screamed so much that ATC heard her as I reported the drop. It was even picked up on a recording of ATC live. You can even hear them scream as they fall away from the aircraft.

I just came back from dropping ten loads today, six hours in the cockpit. I'm bloody exhausted I tell ya.
