Shooting at an airshow

Fly Gary · Mar 22, 2018

Slightly off topic, but getting the shot was what mattered.

Luke Days 2018 Glendale Arizona.

Equipment Used.
1 Used Boeing B17G
2 GoPro Hero 6
2 Roll Bar mounts

Steps
1. Locate aircraft, make sure props are not turning
2. Locate the tail and ball turret machine guns
3. Mount Roll Bar mounts
4. Mount Cameras and turn on.
5. Recover cameras (if you are so lucky)
6. Process via normal workflows.

Then you end up with something like this.

Thanks to the pilots of the Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona.

Cool video! It seems to be severely letterboxes tho. I checked on my phone and laptop and the video only takes up the center 1/2 of the screen. Maybe an artifact of processing the video? Would be move amazing if it was full screen!

I had to limit what I could show until the CAF gave the approval. I replaced the video clip with the HD version and it runs for 10 minutes. We had two more cameras on the wings and hope to add additional scenes to it.
