Title: My job is too much fun (big Videos)
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on February 02, 2006, 03:34:00 PM

I was trying out the Video function of my cellphone. Recorded in MJPEG playable with WMP.

While some poor airline dude has to conform to strict policies while eating on food stamps, I got to make 3 times his salary and goof around when the delivery is over.

Hope those work, hosted by free host http://www.savefile.com

I think some are exempt from the 500' rule, like pipeline patrol...pipeline patrol is a good name for hunting surfers

Debonair ... not to scare you, but I was wondering if your tail number was finishing by 44C by any chance?:)

How is that the prop (I think, I'm no pileit) does those vertical lines on the vid#2 ?

I think it's more to do with the quality of the video than the prop, Saintaw. It is after all just a phone camera. I'm sure a a gadget freak could explain.

Interesting videos, reminds me of those videos of low flying French Pumas and Mirages which someone posted recently. Must be a French thing:aok Come to think of it. The last time I was 'forced to descend to low level'ahem. It was in a French aircraft.

The ILS approach was interesting. Call me weird but I really enjoy instrument approaches in actual IMC. There is something so satisfying about breaking out just over the runway and landing. Although as it happens the weather is just like that today and I've had to cancel a flight I had booked. VFR only at the moment.

This is this one (http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=570)

It's a usefull phone, PDA stuff with Word/Xcel, typical hand writing recon (or stylus or sliding keyboard), got 2 Gig SD card for MP3/videos, internet. It's windows based, so you synchronize it to your PC via USB.
