HD Twilight Landing At LAX (Cockpit View)

author: user/surfbumhnl comments: Landing at LAX International Airport via the SADDE Six Arrival. The song is “Los Angeles” by Sugarcult. If you like the song please use one of the links below to buy it so maybe progressive bands like Sugarcult will let us continue to use their music on our homemade non-commercial videos. Mahalo! General response to comments: First, thanks for all the positive comments. It was an amazing night and the combination of the Sadde Six approach, the sunset, the visibility, and ATC allowing us to drop down to 2000 feet all worked together. Ill probably never get that chance again. The video is sped up to somewhere between Mach 1 and Mach 2 (depending on actual airspeed about 8X). The original idea was to a) compress a 30 minute approach into three minutes; and b) to see what it would look like if you were riding on the back of a cruise missile. There will also some minor timing issues to get it to “fit” with the song. The camera was a Canon S95 which is a great pocket low light camera. This video simply wouldn’t have been possible with any other pocket camera. If you want a great travel camera, be sure to check it out. 9 on Amazon. The video was shot in 720p at 24 FPS. I’m not sure why YouTube dumbed it down but Ill see if I can correct that. Its stunning in HD (see latest updates at top of notes). The camera was mounted via a small tripod with velcro out of our way and line of site. Ultrapod I think its called. Nothing fancy. I realize a lot …
Video Rating: 4 / 5
