Best XC video I've seen!!! The graphics, the music, the voice-over... Perfect! 👌
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
Truely majestic my friend… excellent guide too… xc doesn’t have to be fine weather but this day was spectacular… please post more…
Many thanks! Indeed - more videos to come!
The bright green Zeolite, that was me 😅! Nice sharing some thermals with you, such a good day! 🪂🪂
Wow, cool! This was such a nice day to fly, I'm sure you also enjoyed every minute! 🙌
Полет просто шикарный. Видео эффекты супер. Смотрел и кайфовал. В "снежной пустоши" было страшновато. Зато путь к старту прошёл очень быстро. Ну за исключением порхания над ЛЭП. ❤ Спасибо. Спасибо огромное.
spectacular as we are used to from you - both the flight and the video processing - I always enjoy watching it, thank you... 👍
Glad you enjoyed my videos! More to come!
That is the Dream.. very nicely edited and voice over .. very nice .. thank you for share
Enjoyed it? Loved it! Amazing view and great flying. I like your overlay showing the route, speed and climb. Sharing your decision making means all to me. I learned a lot from this and hope you will have many more flights like this. Can't wait to try your Bassano route in September ;)
Thank you for your feedback - and good luck with your big flights!
Amazing flight, amazing views! Love your videos.
Awesome, thanks for sharing
Ахиренно! Лайкоз!
thats a amazing storie. Congrats.
Very well done ! Congrat
Fantastic!!!
Spectacular ;)
Amazing!
Amazing video 🤩🤩
Excellent and informative video as always! Pleasure to observe your flying, and also relax and admire the mountain views. The gauges on screen provide a great value, as we can see the data you are basing your decisions on. For example, one can pay attention to the climb rate and when you decide to enter or leave thermal. Great learning material, I really wish to fly like that some day.
Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful! Thank you for your comment!
Gratuliere Dir zu diesem fantastischen Flug. Das ist anspruchsvolle Fliegerei. Toll gemacht -bravo!
Brilliant!!! ❤
It is amazing! Thanks so much for this video.
Thanks for sharing!!
Fantastic flight! Congrats!
Fantastic! Great flight and great video!
U are an Artist of the Airs. Stunning flight, balm for the Soul of all aspiring Avians! Thank You for sharing 💐
awesome flight and scenery 👍
Great flight. Great content. Thanks for sharing !!
Awesome trip!
Really cool video. Amazing scenery and well edited. Thanks for shariing 👍
Amazing and inspirational! What a beast 😮
Ich mag deine Videos, nett anzusehen, gut erklärt, Top. Als nicht unerfahrener Flieger mit 34 Jahren Hochleistererfahrung im Mittelgebirge sieht es zumindest in den Videos immer relativ einfach aus. Man folgt oft einen guten Ridge, ab und zu ein grosser Talsprung, aber auch oft die Möglichkeit, an einer Kante aufzusoaren und wieder ins Spiel zu kommen, falls man sich mal verhaspelt hat.
Die Landschaften sind jedenfalls erste Sahne und ich will deine Leistung keinesfalls schmälern, nicht das du das falsch verstehst.
Weiter so, mit deinen klasse Videos..
Danke fürs Feedback! Ja, an den guten Tagen ist es relativ einfach, wobei es auf den Videos manchmal zu easy ausschaut 😉 Es ist schon einiges im Hintergrund passiert bei diesem Flug, ich wollte aber das Publikum damit nicht langweilen.
Congrats, awesome flight!! Crushing it! Wish I was there! Such gorgeous country! I will be there next year.
amazing video
Dima, fascinating! Wow! What a beauty! I watched it in a grasp! Крутяк! Мастер!
Your video is great, as always I would say. Bravo
Просто wow!
Nice one! 😊
Wow! Amazing film!! almost 10hrs flight😀..thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
some good stuff for later , starting into the night :-)
Very cool flight! And a well done video too. The graphics overlays and voice over explanations make it an enjoyable watch.
Glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching!
Great flight and nice to watch with the info widgets.
Thanks for watching! Maybe the altitude data could be helpful for those who want to fly this route 😊
Loved this flight. It was so pretty to see and it is really nice to hear your thought process during the flight.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautifull flights. I missed so many good flying days in the last month cuz of work, but at least I can watch such awsome flights.
16:00 ... Wing was behaving as good as it could :D
Hopefully more good weather to come! Yep, the wing behaved quite well because the pilot actively "told" it to do so 😉
Wow! That's a great edit...one of the best I've seen. Well done, top tier flying and editing! How did you keep the 360 camera recording the entire time? Seems pretty unlikely...mine cuts the video segments around 29 minutes or so, which I guess can be stitched together in the edit, but the battery and Micro SD card? You certainly must use a beefy power back-up and a serious size memory card. Again, well done, it was quite an enjoyable video to see. Love the stats present on the screen (how did you add those?) and of course the breath taking views!
Glad you enjoyed my video! Yes, the Insta360 camera pauses every 29 minutes for a few seconds - I hate it for that. My old GoPro camera cuts the recording into 12 minute segments too, but the recording itself is absolutely seamless, not a single frame is lost. But with Insta360, the recording is not seamless, you lose about 10 seconds every 29 minutes. To keep the camera running for 10 hours, I connect it to a 20,000 mAh power bank, and the storage is big enough for 18 hours of video (1 TB). The data overlay you see in the video is created with a tool called Telemetry Overlay - it processes the flight IGC files and visualizes all the flight parameters in a nice way.
@@dymanoid I didn't notice your video being interrupted at all, so good job there. I thought a 250 BG card was totally big enough...LOL. And no external battery. But I usually take short videos. Timelapse like this for long periods of time is totally cool, a complete flight, wow. Ive got to try it.
Thanks for the answer, happy flying!
Congrats for that epic flight! And video: I love the way you put the metrics (how did you by the way?). I see some places I wouldn't have crossed without landing place, you did it perfectly. I guess you use a insta360 with external battery: do you film all at normal speed? Wich size is your memory card?
Regards.
Thank you for watching! I record my flights at normal speed using an Insta360 X3 with a 1TB microSD card and connected to a power bank, then edit the videos: speed up, view angle, overlays.
The Benz style in perfection. Thanks for this and all your vids
Thank you for your feedback!
What an awesome video. Well narrated too
Do u predetermine your turn points before launch or set off and see how it goes since u did not know the area
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback! About my turnpoints: yes, I set them while preparing for the flight, but then I changed them slightly during the flight depending on the circumstances (cloud base, snow cover, my average XC speed, ...) I had to adjust both my western and northern turnpoints.
@@dymanoid Ok great. Thanks for the feedback. Keep up these great videos. The scenery in this one is awesome.
Another amazing flight and spectacular video report, thank you!
At 15:02, after gaining some height, why you decide not to cross the valley to catch thermals on the sun faceing slopes? Because of the possible lee side of the north wind or there is other reason?
Thanks for watching! To answer your question, the sun was already in the west at that time, and since the Leventina valley runs west-east in this area, both sides were lit by the sun. I didn't cross at this point because I wasn't sure if I could later cross the St. Gotthard Pass with enough altitude. The northerly meteo wind could intensify the "usual" pass wind from the north, which probably turned the whole area into a huge sink.
Great adventure and production? Question: how do you always know the wind direction, including valley winds which you can't "feel" ? In general I have trouble understanding wind direction once I fly far way from take off area.. I mostly use XCtrack for it but I feel like it's not always accurate
Thanks for watching! For the wind, I first study the valley winds map (there is one available for the Alps), and then I check the weather forecast. During the flight, I check the nearby weather stations for current wind, observe the cloud movement and other things such as smoke, flags, water etc. And of course I use the XCTrack for the wind profiling as well, including the vertical profile.
What do you think about the landing options along the route? I would love to fly there but i heard there are not many landings if you bomb out.
Well, as you surely saw in the video, there are many places either without any safe landing options or only with very remote ones. It's definitely a challenging route.
Epic flight, congratulations! 🎉
@@dymanoid Okay because i set myself a rule that i only fly when i constantly have a safe landing in glide ratio. Then this is not for me.
