The hook at the glider ist open to the bottom. So if the rope gets loose, it will follow the gravity and fall back down

@@Segler93 Greetings from India. Thanks Nico for an easy reply. Your camera was very close to hook in this video at 2:15. I am sure many people want to know how rope disconnects. Your answer will help many. Thanks.

Wir waren dort nur zu Gast und durften den fliegen. Voraussetzung war meine ich nur die A-Prüfung, also als Schüler Www.osc-wasserkuppe.de

Im Geradeausflug hab ich das Problem nicht. Nur wenn ich "vollgas", schräg zu einer Seite fliege und mich dabei drehe, dann passiert das manchmal.

I don't have the Goggles. I used a Samsung S5 the view the live video. Maybe a tablet woukd be better, so you can see the chased plane even while it is far away. I'm not sure if the resolution of the goggles is high enough so see small planes?

Nico_NK wow, even more impressed that you were able to track so well without aide of head tracking and with such a small screen. Can you also share your camera settings? I am a newbie at videography...

Dave Hein I set Expo to 0.25. Maybe 0.30 could be better. I recorded in sports mode so i was able to nearly follow the Viperjet. But in sport mode it is harder to control yaw. We did several flights to get a few, but great shots.

Nico_NK Great job!

Its easy to do, it's called "active tracking".. LOL

you think all of the clips was filmed using active track?

@skibumwa2001, Mathias Bredesen None of these videos was filmed with "active track " . It is much too slow in tracking such a fast jet. It also can't locate the jet if it is too far away. At 1:55 there were much less than 1m distance between the drone and the jet.

thats what i thought!

Thank you :) Music: Infrared - Letter Box

Das stimmt, hat super viel Spaß gemacht. Vor allem bei dem Wetter, immer wieder um Schauer herumfliegen um dann noch zur Wende zu kommen. Das Gebiet war für ich auch neu und ich fand es faszinieren, wie oft doch Thermik aus einer Düse am Hang entsteht
