Great job covering all the aspects in a relatively short duration! I know you can talk about each of them for hours! Thanks for sharing!

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Glad you liked it. Yes each chapter could have been a whole video :-)

[@tbrown5a2j]

Great video and insight into the world of flying videos. Truly appreciate you taking the time to break it down enough to give a starting point for further learning.

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Thanks... I plan to post a couple of others based on the questions I have received. Specifically, editing workflow and 360 videos.

Thank you for sharing this. I fly RV12 and use a 3 camera GoPro setup, 1st behind me with audio feed in, 2nd from the forward right facing me and the passenger and 3rd from the tail ring looking under the wings. I use GoPro remote to turn on all cameras at the same time to be in sync for the timeline. I download all videos locally on a 18TB Western Digital MyBook and use Adobe Premiere Pro to do the multi camera edits. I also occasionally use a 4th camera on chest mount to capture my G3X panel.

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Thanks... Using the GoPro remote to help synchronize the video is a brilliant idea !

[@wavellwilliamsjr7111]

my guy, this has completely helped me stitch like 9 different videos. you've got a new sub. now if I can only find that unlimited storage option... great stuff

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Glad it helped … if you r going to Sun N Fun, I am presenting at the forums on Friday morning

[@carolg4733]

You do amazing videos, Tj! Thanks for showing us just how you do it!!!

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Thanks … I try :-)

[@ts4512]

I like your use of the file template to better prepare yourself for video editing! It takes real time and dedication to make videos as well as you do.

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Thanks for watching ! I think the better you get at video editing and creating reusable assets, the easier it gets :-)

[@usernameunknkown]

Thanks for this. Sub'd 😎

[@samm1842]

Thank you TJ, now all I have to do is buy a Cirrus sr22. :)

[@larryvet53]

Wonderful video. Where do you get the O2 port mount?

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Good question… a COPA member fabricated it custom for me … not sure if he still makes them … but u can check with guy who uses some very similar kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2qwhaGGmNujhdkfeature=shared

[@RaceMentally]

Good video. Although I’m not a KZbinr and most likely won’t be one I appreciate this.

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

No worries thanks for watching my content:-)

[@scrapjunky3887]

Can you share your settings on your Hero 7 looking at your Garmins? Anything special? I’m getting lines and my screens fade in and out when I view my recordings.

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Nothing special … I don’t use the advanced settings … I use basic auto 4k /30 fps

[@scrapjunky3887]

@@TJFlyingAdventuresmuch thanks!

[@FLY1N_RY4N]

What audio setting do you use for the Sony recorder? Low cut filter on? Ext input setting? Music (low/med/high)? Any level adjustments to avoid audio peaking? Just tried several options for recording audio and the Sony recorder you suggested has worked best!

[@FLY1N_RY4N]

also, which file type do you use? There's 4 options. Just hoping to avoid some unneccessary trials if you've figured this all out :)

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

File type: mp3 192 kbps Recording filter: Low Cut Mic Sensitivity: Auto External Mic In sensitivity "Voice" (not music) Hope this helps ... Good luck!

[@IconicFlight]

What is your audio recorder?

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Good Question... It is a Sony ICD-PX470 (Works great)
