Here is a short video of the flight to relocate my MiniMax from Corona, CA to my new hangar in Redlands, CA (about 30 minutes closer to home).

Enjoy, and thanks for watching! - Sean

Hey, That is one fine video...

Thanks

That terrain sure is different than the northeast. I hope you enjoy your new home base. Thanks for posting.

Great flight video Sean. Sure has some terrain you wouldn't want to have an engine problem.

Great video Sean ! Thanks for posting.

Love your video, great views. How high above the ground 2000' ?
Thanks for sharing,

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I was at about 2500' AGL on this flight. I will post more videos over the coming months; soon I will be flying up to Big Bear Mountain which is a beautiful flight.

Sean, Tell us about your camera and where and how it's mounted.........................

Sean
Enjoyed your video.  What camera and mount?.

My setup is a GoPro Hero 4 mounted in the middle of the axle using the roll bar mount. I purchased the nflight prop filter to help take the weird lines that the prop causes out of the picture/video. I also mounted an iPad mini inside, which I use to control the camera during flight.

Soon I will be experimenting with other camera locations.

Sean, That seems to me like the best location for the camera that I've seen so far for viewing the scenery.. But you or the plane are not in the picture..

I'll have to make me a mount to duplicate yours since I have the aluminum gear but I'll get-r-done....  I"ve also thought about trying mine on the top of the vert. stab.. How would that turn out?????

Harless, yeah I like it a lot where it's at. I will be testing a lot of other camera locations that will capture different things, including me and the plane. I too was thinking about trying on top of the fin, I will let you know how it works out!

A really nice video Sean!  I enjoyed flying with you (while sitting on the axle cross bar).

thank you Tony and Paul.

Thanks for posting the journey! I love to watch flying videos that start and end at different airports. Nice landing at your destination!
