Whoa!
Never a dull moment.
I've been monitoring my heart rate with a garmin HR monitor, and taking the GPS and pressure data from that as well. I'm amazed at my high HR at launch and especially on final approach and peaking at landing. Though, even while continuously scratching hard on a ridge in crappy, holey air, it's not so high. Gotta wonder what yours was during that glide?
Nice vert stab, er, I mean camera mount.
How big of a card and battery are you using? (1080p @ 30 fps?)
What is your max recording time with that?
Are you using DashWare for your vid data readouts?
Loved the vid.
Many years ago I flew with my Garmin Edge 305 and HRM and noticed exactly the same thing. The higher I was, the lower my HR and launch and landing sent my HR soaring. Pun intended.
I use a 128GB card and record at 1080p 30fps. Otherwise the Hero4 will not accept external power. The start-up procedure is as follows:
Have a fully charged internal battery in camera
Camera off
Plug in external power
Wait until red LED lights up
Turn on camera within 60 seconds
Start recording
I can record roughly 5-1/2 hours before both the batteries discharge. The card holds like 8-1/2 hours. I can easily get a larger battery. This one is only 5600mah. After 100 hours or so my first Hero4 stopped running on an external battery but it would run on an AC adapter that possibly does not suffer as much voltage drop. Perhaps a more modern li-ion battery would work. I don't know the answer. I'm using my second Hero4 now which works fine with the external battery. Go figure?
Anyhow, I just ordered a new set of lower keel wires for my S3 to move the control back back 1.5". The way I have it tuned, the center of lift is further aft than factory tuned and at 5'7" I don't have enough arm reach to turn it as tight as I need to stay in yesterday's super skinny thermals or gaggle with the PGs.
