mccordia 73 #2 May 9, 2010 Cool video..shame the gopro wideangle makes things a bit small sometimes. Its great seeing you progress in your flying so quickly...:)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elias123 0 #3 May 9, 2010 Thanks! I agree. You don't see much (if anything) with the GoPro when flying at a distance, but just yesterday I bought a second hand camera that I'ill be using in the future. So the next time I post a video, the wide angle/distance issue will be gone! "In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #4 May 9, 2010 Very cool starting to attempt docks so early on! You'll become a better flyer faster if you work on this sort of thing. Thanks for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elias123 0 #6 May 9, 2010 I known, and you're right. At the time when we arrived at skydive Spain, I had 6 wingsuit jumps. It had also been about 3-4 months since I had made a wingsuit jump, so I wanted to take things easy and not rush anything. It was my intention to fly at a distance first, just learn to follow the formation, and when that went well, move to the next step. I wanted to take things one at a time. There were even a few jumps where I basically flew with my arms on my back, to get to the group, and couldn't keep up (I'm very light). That being said, I think I still could have gotten closer safely, but obviously didn't, probably because I didn't really knew how to do it at the time. Thanks for the feedback!

mccordia 73 #9 May 9, 2010 You have an HD GoPro...Elias has the normal resolution/old one.. Anything beyond 10 meters of distance is reduced to a blurry pixel heheJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything beyond 10 meters of distance is reduced to a blurry pixel hehe oh, no worries, the wide angle is felt quite a lot on the hd one as well... I've thrown away lots of crap footage like that with "note to self: get the fuck closer next time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
