Hiller Flight with Cockpit POV

A while back, I published a video I shot with my iPhone from the inside of a Hiller flown by my friend Mike. Here's the GoPro footage for part of that flight. Mike is at the controls in the single, centered front seat. I'm sitting in back on the left side, just taking in the view and shooting video with my phone. Sometimes it's nice to be a passenger.

In this video, we lift off from Mike's home at a residential airpark in Arizona and head north and west, eventually starting to circle South Mountain. True to form, one of my GoPros died, so the video ends quite unexpectedly, right after Mike makes a profound observation.

The video has angled black borders because I set up the camera on an angle and everything was slanted. Rather than drive you nuts with a crooked view, I adjusted the video to level the horizon. I didn't crop the image because I wanted to keep the full view of the instrument panel and as much of the area in front of us as I could.

Many thanks again to Mike for taking me on this ride.

About the Video
- The video was recorded with a pair of GoPro Hero 7 cameras (https://amzn.to/2Lxyzwl). One camera is connected to the helicopter's intercom system with an NFlightCam audio cable (https://amzn.to/31syLTm). All cameras record audio, but I dialed down the helicopter sound by 10 decibels from normal volume so it wouldn't be annoying.
- Cameras were mounted inside the helicopter using MyPilotPro Spider Swivel GoPro Windshield Mounts (https://www.mypilotpro.com/product/mypilotpro-spider-swivel-gopro-windshield-mount/?wpam_id=13).
- The video was edited on a iMac using Davinci Resolve 16 software. Learn more about it here: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
- The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed "Dr. Mac." You can find him here: http://www.boblevitus.com/

I TRY (really!) to drop cockpit POV videos on Sunday every two or three weeks and "extras" or "shorts" midweek. (Some channel members get early access to these videos.) I also host occasional livestreams with Q&A chats. SUBSCRIBE and turn on the notification bell so you don't miss anything new! And tell your friends. I'm trying hard to deliver good videos and grow my subscriber base.
