Nice adventure, I enjoyed watching this video ! As you might have seen when you said "I should have stayed south of this ridge", in day2, you may have flown into some natural airspace (300m/ground). Not a lot of pilots fly there because of it. Also as a feedback for next video, my personal preference goes to how you edited day 3 compared to day 2, about camera movements (fixed to the landscape is better than fixed to the mount I think, mostly for accelerated parts). Looking forward to your next adventure !
@OllieEllis 26 күн бұрын
Thank you for the feedback and for watching! I was experimenting with different camera angles on this trip to see how they’d work out, so it’s good to hear your thoughts on what looked better. I agree, the fixed-to-landscape view does give a cleaner feel for the accelerated parts. And as for that bit near the ridge, appreciate the heads-up- I’ll improve for future flights! Glad you enjoyed it.

Great flight Ollie, and I wanted to be there but I was ill (story of my life ATM!!) but its a bit jerky TBH. I am not sure about the use of the Insta 360. I am doing some filming on a GoPro 10, which has fantastic stabilization. Good after flight commentary.
@OllieEllis 5 ай бұрын
Thanks, yeah it was a really enjoyable flight. The ‘jerkiness’ is because I filmed it using interval mode which means it takes an image every .5 of a second and then makes the video from the images. Going forwards I’ll be using normal video only, but it’s a balance between data storage and video quality. Hopefully you’re back out flying soon too.

@OllieEllis 6 ай бұрын
Mainly the size and weight, the screen is a little harder (but hardly anything) to read in flight as it’s smaller and I kept the same number of instruments on the screen. I think if you’re doing lots of racing comps (not hike n fly), stay with the bigger version.

How's the wing in weak and drifting thermals? Does it inform you about the air enough? And feedback from the glider is from risers or breaks? Thx
@OllieEllis 6 ай бұрын
I need to put more time on the wing in varied conditions to really give you any very useful information. I’ve have under 10 hours on it so far in on only 2 XC flights. Both of the flights I have had to hang around in weak thermals and on this one drifting in near zero’s for over 30 minutes, id say it’s really good. Gives you really good info on the air but I guess a lot of this is subjective to what you like.

How would you compare to xctracer max2 How responsive is the vario itself?
@OllieEllis 7 ай бұрын
I don’t have a max2 but I think the Omni is a different device not exactly comparable it has much more features. For vario I use a Xct mini 2 flarm, I don’t have this connected to the Omni so that I get 2 independent IGC files at the end of the flight. I keep the vario volume of the Omni turned off and use Xct.
