266 km Triangle in 9 min | Spectacular Timelapse!

A 266 km XC flight in the southern alps in quite challenging conditions. What begins as a normal cross country day becomes a tough battle with the north wind! Relive this flight 64 times faster and enjoy the wondeful views that come with XC flying!

The lower cloudbase was marking the convergence of the north wind with the airmas of the north Italy Milano plains area. Basically a type of small sea breeze front. Your videos are the best soaring videos on the net. If you could somehow get a compas rose on the screen it would help determine you flight direction and also where you are looking for thermals depending on time of day.

[@Blayzenw]

These videos are great! I really like the commentary with the timelapse. Its informative and inspirational

[@NavidSaleki]

wauw, incredible footage and great inside view of XC paragliding! thank you and congratulations

[@walterwalter7706]

Directly after the xalps torture... Something nice and beautiful. Thank you very much for the sportive and pittoresk vids in Switzerland light!

[@ecclesheat]

As a New Zealand Hang Gliding pilot recently living in the Alps. Man impressive. I'm slowly trying to break into this place. Nice to see what's possible. Amazing.

[@christopheymann]

fliegerisch und vom Filmen her absolut herausragend! Danke für´s Teilen Deiner Flüge, sehr inspirierend!

[@larsvanbeurden5332]

wow what a flight

[@nandosillamartinez26773]

Amazing flight, vídeo and your comments! So much to learn from it 🤟☝😉😉👏 Congratulations!!!

[@sleeeeep]

im new to your channel but i absolutely love it!!!!!!! Is there any chance you could upload a full video of one of your big trips but without speeding it up. I realize it will be hours long but i think people would love it! i love playing these when i go to sleep or read or just relaxing! thanks man and keep up the great work

[@ldigestani]

Yess, please

[@jeronymjuran6617]

I would also like slow version.Maybe 8x faster version, so i can check all the details and decisions.

[@romanrudisuhli7028]

a flight like this is 8-9 hours ;-)

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Hmm, not sure if that would really be interesting. In principal I could upload the original 360 deg. Video so one could look in every direction. Comment if you would find that interesting!

[@sleeeeep]

@@sebastianbenz5336 trust me. A 6 hour video of your flight playing in real time while i study or read or even sleep would be killer!!

[@MagicJF]

Congrats! really inspiring

[@ronaldlurz3486]

I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@ziadbassil]

That's quite a nice flight, and video, + nice scenery, despite the hyper-lapse. Thanks for sharing!

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Thanks! Or because of the hyperlapse? Its always difficult to transmit the feeling of paragliding in a video.

[@Kwaxomat]

amazing footage & a wealth of knowledge, thanx4sharing🙌

[@sergioprospero]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! I love this kind of videos, we learn a lot! ThAnKs!

[@kylewolfman]

Liked and subscribed! Amazing video can't wait to see more

[@ludocean]

Wahoo, it's amazing video for learning, and fly with you. Thanks a lot Sebastian, it's great. Thks

[@rbaniya4331]

Loved it brother

[@TimPentreath]

Great flight, and great video... thanks

[@przewrotab]

Great flight, great movie!

[@bartekbartek3181]

Great! Thanks a lot. Can't wait for another one!

[@agpk100]

Absolutely enjoy your video!! would love to see some tutorials on meterology

[@eduferrero3855]

great job dude !! 👍👍👏

[@harveytheparaglidingchaser7039]

Brilliant training video, thanks

[@calx]

wonderful thanks for sharing

[@emilianogrgic9219]

Thanks for the videos! Amazing. It interesting for one video and instructive if you explain how do take the decision if it is safe or not to fly on the lee side.

[@butchdelayaute]

great video ! as good as the flight, don't change anything !

[@DudiRoss1]

Spectacular

[@WINTERACTIVITY]

Thanks so much! Looks like your GoPro max is doing an amazing job stabalizing 360 footage! Are you shooting in timewrap?

[@AdNubes]

He is using the Insta360 One R, see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLCYadjZcR6aqs

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Thats correct!

[@CaptainMedoc]

definitely better than my 360 one X ! ... but his skills are also far greater than mine ...

[@ParaRabbit]

veeeery cool, thanks!

[@741741]

geiler flug und heftige aufnahmen

[@pepelegal333]

Woooow! nothing else I can say

[@edwinlooy6551]

Amazing footage❤

[@marekmagyar5119]

thx for another great vid

[@PavelPokoracky]

Amazing. Which wing are you flying?

[@sebastianbenz5336]

I'm flying mostly the Ozone Zeolite GT

[@jacobsony]

Hello Sebastian, could you please share how the footage and editing was done?

[@DanielS-zq2rr]

Wow how long is a flight like this?

[@hansenpansen2314]

You make these huge jumps over valleys and often arrive on the lee side. it looks like you have nearly zero sink most of the time. How high do you estimate your glide ratio? It makes me really scratching the head...

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Actually, I had a lot of sink (when heading to the lee side). Its a bit deceptive because everything goes so fast, but it felt loong when hearing the sink alarm for several minutes... I guess gliders like to Zeolite can deliver around 1:10 glide ratio in calm air.

[@radiatorclap]

@@sebastianbenz5336 what's your review and opinion for the zeolite as your main wing for xc ??

[@AndresJoan]

Small clouds lower base maybe a small convergence between the meteo wind and mountain breeze?

[@Jinjukei]

Great!!

[@poklet]

Sebastian, I’ve watched a few more of your hyper lapse videos and I’m super impressed. I want to make my own. What is your technique? Do you record the entire flight at normal speed, and then do the hyper lapse in post production? Or do you just rely on your camera’s hyper lapse? What camera and what settings do you use? Thanks!

[@sebastianbenz5336]

@Tushar Pokle, here i answer most questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLCYadjZcR6aqs In short i use a insta360 oneR and shoot with the standard settings and speed it up in the (now desktop) app. Have fun creating!

[@romanrudisuhli7028]

Thank you very much! always interesting and very cool voice over with every details that you provide!

[@flajflaj]

As allways, muy contento :D.

[@mikefougere]

Your videos of flights are the best.. dont go 360, too much distortion with 360 cams

[@Warbird-Aviation]

cooles Video

[@cyrilbrunner8019]

👍🏻🤩

[@theeyeinthecloud]

Flying at cloudbase forbidden…

[@schaufuss]

Yayy, thanks!

[@xistsixt]

Always look forward to your videos, again great and informative stuff 👌

[@nieograniczony1]

awsome idea to film this in hyperlapse !

[@streetphone4619]

Would love to see your launches before switching to a hyperlapse replay. Liked and already subscribed.

[@hectorvaldesr]

How did you manage to record the whole flight? Where you using an external battery?

[@lexrobe_fly]

Soooo great again!! Love it, thanks Seb for delivering another perfect debriefing - and congrats to your flight of course! 🤘👍

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Thanks Lex!

[@TheSwisPilot]

add a map! otherwise crazzzzy!!!!!

[@DreamWorldPortals]

2:30 klingt wie Schwarzenegger 🙂

[@pixelpeter3883]

Wow, that was impressive! Bet it can be pretty hairraising when you have to cross a big valley with no nice cumuls around. You must use a big powerbank (and card) to keep the camera rolling :-)

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Yes, 512 gb and 25000 mah🙃

[@ThermikDreher]

Nice flight 👍🏻

[@AMJB100000000]

Master at this game

[@Yourbosskid]

This is awesome

[@miloradpopovicflyer]

Crazy good...

[@vielmaxx]

Brutal

[@AndrewShchegel]

Of course I had enjoyed. You are the best ❤️

[@nachnamevorname5917]

Exzellent, war echt spannend anzusehen. Zu den kleinen Wölkchen - ich glaube nicht, daß es "Rotorwolken" waren. Etwas tiefbasiger als die umgebenden Cumuli, ja - das kann aber von feuchterem Boden / feuchterer oder wärmerer Luft kommen, so daß der Taupunkt höher liegt. Evtl. war auch die Luftschicht nicht homogen temperiert, in der Du unterwegs warst. Rotorwolken bilden sich ja immer wenn ein etwas stärkerer Wind über eine entsprechend geformte Kante strömt, also auch bei den anderen Cumuli - nur, daß sie halt nicht sichtbar sind, weil der Taupunkt erst weiter oben erreicht wird. Für Rotorwolken schienen sie mir außerdem zu weit über Grathöhe.

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Danke für deine Einschätzung. Verwirrend ist für mich unterschiedliche Basen nebeneinander zu haben ohne klare Luftmassengrenze...

[@al-du6lb]

Have you ever been able to not get lift and end up on top of one of these ridges?

[@sebastianbenz5336]

If you can't get lift one can usually still fly down to the valley flore, which happened plenty of times to me...

[@dimml0r]

you should keep producing this stuff. there is not much else out there and i think with the dramatical growing number of cross country paragliders this could maybe become a source of income. you could propably hit the 100k subscribers line.

[@badacat73]

Another cracking video. Keep them coming. The comment further down about adding a compass would be a super addition if it were possible!

[@AzZzerix]

What a great video! How do you record such a long flight with your gopro? 1tb sd card? 😃

[@bryanvanostheim]

Beautiful 🤩 I learn so much from your videos.

[@jab0321]

Wow that was amazing! Awesome flight and thank you for sharing!

[@bidubule]

Mervelous ! Thanks a lot Sebastian

[@andreasborchert6345]

Amazing…thanks for sharing this flight with us

How the French toast do you edit this?!

[@Strepeyder]

Hi Sebastian, love your videos! If you don’t mind me asking what is your camera / battery setup? I fly with a 360 cam but have nowhere near the battery power or storage space to film for as long as you do. Would appreciate a DM, cheers!

[@sebastianbenz5336]

I use a 512 gb memory card, and an external battery pack: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLCYadjZcR6aqs

[@CaptainMedoc]

Great video ! ... thanks for the share ! (speed of hyperlapse was 64 x ? ... or even greater ?)

[@sebastianbenz5336]

Yes 64x

[@uhgs]

Hammer Ufnahme! Danke fürs Teile :D
