A fixed external cam viewpoint would have completed this vid. Those views look tremendous.

Rob S My rental club doesn't like the external cameras

[@itzajdmting]

Sorry, I meant externally facing....so looking outside. In reality, I'm grateful for anything you put up, and enjoy it all. But i love the scenery views the best.

[@aviatortrevor]

Rob S I'll try to do that next time.

@@aviatortrevor kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJOtdHWtbbCana8 I need to get an exterior camera...but I have a few on the inside :)

That wasn't a stop and go. How did you sync the two cameras and inset the video? Nice landings. I rarely see the numbers for 28R passing under so slowly!

[@aviatortrevor]

I know they weren't technically stop and go's, but I slowed down to like 10 mph. Carlsbad tower wasn't leaving me a whole lot of room to do my stop and go's with traffic on final approach behind me. I bought a cable to record ATC into 1 of the cameras. I synced the 2 cameras just by carefully matching up my lips moving with the audio heard. My last landing at KMYF was a bit swirly, but my other landings were good. My 3 point landing I bounced a little. I prefer the 2 wheel landings over the 3 point landings, but everyone tells me the 3 point landings are easier. I disagree. I also fucked up the editing. Adobe Premier showed the cuts between scenes dipping to black, but after it rendered, it lost the transition effects.

using Final Cut Pro is the best money I ever spent...
