The new Garmin VIRB XE

An incredible little camera with great options for capturing your flying or whatever else you may want to capture. The new Garmin VIRB XE is just incredible. It has a built in GPS given you realtime altitude, more about speed, viagra 100mg direction, generic pitch attitude, G force and more. Here is a little clip I made after opening the box, spending less than 5 minutes trying to figure it out, 2 minute downloading the Garmin app on my phone / Ipad and then flying. I came home and produced this little edit in under 5 minutes. The longest part was uploading it to Youtube so that the quality would stay good. That took all of about 3 minutes. Anyhow, check it out.

 

Disclaimer: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME….Keep it at the lake or the rivers. Here you will see a glassy water landing and then a landing with the rippled water. Ripples give you so much more perception. This technique is used for various applications allowing you to get on to a beach or gravel bar that could be very short. You can also use it for departing but knowing your airspeed for the given situation is mandatory. Again, seek instruction if this is an application that interests you and its important to know that this is not meant for a stunt or a check me out Im a cool pilot video. Its a real world application in bush / backcountry flying.
