Flying Over Glen Canyon Dam and Horseshoe Bend from Page, Arizona

nicely done. I was a lot higher and not very well equipped with cameras the one time I've been there. Didn't see the horseshoe bend. Had a great time landing at Marble Canyon though.

I am obsessed with cameras. I started by buying a refurbished Garmin Virb in 2015, the torpedo camera. My first wing camera was a cheap ($50) GoPro clone (DBPower) purchased in 2018. I went cheap because I wasn't comfortable with wing mounts. I found a cheap ($150?) refurbished GoPro Hero 5 in 2019. My first new GoPro was a discounted GoPro Hero 8 purchased at Costco after the GoPro Hero 9 came out. My first and only new non-discounted GoPro was a GoPro Hero 11. I bought a discounted Insta360 X3 at Costco before the L.A. trip. I am thinking of doing a flying with cameras KZbin video, although many excellent ones already exist. The Insta360 X3 is incredible, but the GoPro 11 and 12 produce superior image quality. The Garmin Virb Ultra was superior to the GoPro Hero 6 (better image, better battery life, never overheats, better video editor), but failed in the marketplace. When my last Garmin Virb Ultra battery fails, it becomes a paper weight. I still use it with a propeller filter as my point over the nose camera. I have a Hudson River Exclusion trip planned for June, my third, and I plan to use my Golden Gate Bridge camera configuration. --- Yes, Marble Canyon is great. I picked Page, AZ, this trip because I did Marble Canyon last trip. Thanks for the comment.

@@terrywoodfield4081 I get it. I've done some recording in the past, then started in aviation training, but finally actually did video production after that. I love recording my flying even when I don't post it- I post about 1.5% of my flying hours. I do miss good competition to the gopro. I sold my Hero12 and got another 11 because I like having the GPS data- it makes it easier on me if the filenames are timestamped and gives me multiple sources for overlay data. But the overheating and battery life is a disappointment.

@@flysport_tedder I like the overlay data exported to Google Earth, but haven't figured out the best way to incorporate it in a KZbin video. My best efforts look amateurish, so I'll keep trying. I had over 20 hours of video for my L.A. trip, so I guess I post 2% to 5%.

@@terrywoodfield4081 I use Telemetry Overlay. Sometimes I download the data from my MFD so I can get things like TAS, but usually gopro is enough.
