I was asked many times
I was asked many times to try and find a way to add the Vario, so here it is.
This video went viral on social media for being a very low save and possibly one of the lowest filmed. It was filmed and flown in Corryong, Victoria, Australia on 3rd February 2024.
The pilot is flying:
Phi - Maestro 2 Light with a pod harness GTO light 2 from woody valley.
Launch time was 13:47 pm during the end of Summer and temps were around 32-35 degrees.
After launching we realised the wind was now coming over the back of the mountain and we were in lee side, this produced one of the best thermals where it stayed in one place the entire way from 9 metres off the ground until I got above the mountain again and it was blown out at around 1150-1170 metres.
You can see that when I am about to land, I feel the thermal and put my foot back inside pod then I am just barely staying up until the black cattle run along the fence line and (possibly) trigger the thermal off and then I change direction and boom I start the move up again. I remember when I was starting my paragliding journey and a really good inland pilot said to me, some pilots have received a thermal kicking off from cattle and truth be told that's how it feels here. Another pilot my local mentor told me to never give up until you're on the ground and so that's what I did, I did feel like I could sense the thermal movement and direction and you can see I change direction. Another pilot had explained that some days thermals are best going right, and some days are better going left, so I tested that theory today :).
Onto the sound issue - the background is that in January I bought a new GoPro12 with media mod for making my YouTube channel, I also bought a Rode mic and receiver and when I was setting up to fly I clicked on the mic but the receiver didn’t turn on, so over the last few weeks to months I figured I could play the IGC from my Air3 and record it with my go pro with sound on then upload both to a video editor and that is how I now have Vario on the initial video.
If you have any questions, please throw them in the comments section.
