EVCv4



On Sunday Scott pulled out the Egyptian Vulture Camera version 4, or EVCv4, and we did a short test flight from the hill behind Maya Devi down to the landing. It needed a few adjustments, but that's what test flights are for.

Yesterday was horrible weather, rain, fog, the whole bit. Of course with the sun missing, it was freezing. We couldn't test the EVCv4 again, and without flights, we hid inside for the day doing a whole lot of nothing.

Today Scott and I went up to the takeoff early to officially test out the EVCv4 with Bob. The footage turned out really good, there's parts when his face comes into view that are really funny (the camera is a backpack style attachment). Hopefully we can use this and more footage in the future. I'd like to also try the camera out on Kevin, but he's a little more sensitive to things like that.

We had two flights with Kev in the afternoon that were perfect! The conditions were great and the long flight properly tired him out.
