Aerial Footage of our Ericson 32-200 Sailing on Pensacola Bay

[Rick R.]

Here is footage I shot with a GoPro camera hung from a kite on a homemade picavet yesterday.

It was a beautiful fall morning with my wife (the admiral) at the helm.

Enjoy!

PS Its a little shake until about 30 seconds in.....

Wow - it's up so high that you can see the curvature of the earth! ; ) (Or maybe that's just the wide angle lens?)

Very cool. I've been meaning to get one of those for use while cycling. I bet it would be really awesome mounted on a gimbal forward too.

Thanks!

If you look at my Youtube channel, there is some footage I shot with it mounted on the handlebar of my Vstrom as I rode the Blue Ridge Parkway last October. They're a lot of fun.

I made a picvet with a tripod bolt for the GoPro.

Bet I am not the only one who doesn't know what a picavet (pronounced peekavay) is. But Google is my friend!
