Hi,

Wanted to show you some aerial clips with the EX1 - done from my Powered Paraglider. Those shots where stabilized in Vegas with mercalli. As you can see on the golf course film there is some rolling shutter issues on a few clips. These issues where solved with tiny shock absorbers in the camera support. On other clips there is a little jitter due to some vibrations from the engine/prop - still working on the camera support :)

very cool , the kenlab ks-8 that i have would be perfect .to smoothout those shoots. i always wanted to try doing this.
 
Nice shots. I've never seen video from a paraglider before, but I guess it can make a good camera platform. Can you show us how you support the camera? Also, how shaky is the video before you do the stabilization in Vegas?
 
Thanks folks - music is a theme from "Dances with wolves" and the piano piece is by the Swedish jazz composer/pianist Jan Johansson. And as for the rest some electronic stuff from Freeplay Music.

Plasticky Jellovision *LOL* I agree with the jellovision - it's really annoying when this happens - but I only discovered it once with my paramotor. And it happens when the engine is on idle - you need to have it running properly, but that's needed anyway when flying close to the ground and having proper control over this beast.

Will post some pictures of the support.
 
nicely done ...

There's a shooter in Japan who does nice work for NHK using a motorized paraglider! Great sweeping movement can be done from such a set-up ... it's better than a copter or plane!
