270 km Flatland Triangle

A dream come true! Realizing a 270 km FAI triangle in the flatlands. With the swiss league we went to Caico, Brazil in order to try and brake the open distance world record. However on some days we encountered really light winds, the chance for me to realize a long standing dream and try to fly 300 km FAI triangle in the flats!

Hyperlapse of a classic paragliding flight along the scenic route from Fiesch over the Grimsel, Furka, Oberalp and Bielerhöhe Passes. Personally I love one way flights, going with the wind as far as you can and see where you end up! The flight was done on the 26.06, a day before Chrigel Maurer did his magic move along the same route during the 2021 X-Alps in similar conditions. The flight start...

Record Hunting in Brazil | Flatland XC Samba

Trying to break the world XC record by flying from Caico in the Sertão, NE Brazil. I encounter epic skies, filled with wonderful cumulus clouds, that take me far across the brazilian flatlands and all the way into the sunset. The flight was done unusually late in the season, at the end of december, which shows in a greener landscape during the first stretch of the flight. Flight on xcontest: ww...

270 km on a Paraglider | Stunning Hyperlapse | Swiss Alps
Просмотров 278 тыс.3 года назад
Must see hyperlapse of a 270 km flat triangle from Niesen via Valais and Luzern and back. Good but humid conditions carried me through the alps. After abandoning plans to fly to Chamonix due to low cloudbase and NW wind, I'm trying to fly all the way to the flatlands before getting stopped by a strong headwind. After returning to Niesen I manage to extend the flight by taking the prealps autoba...

Insta360 ONE R | Pros & cons | Setup for inflight filming | App
Mass hysteria amongst travel enthusiasts caused by plane ticket prices getting out of control combined with environmental concerns surrounding greenhouse gas emision from jet fuel, a Legend named Sebastian Benz has turned towards a more sustainable way of air transportation by sitting on a chair, trusting a piece of fabric and knots while 2,000 feet in the air, feeling the closest you'll get to being a bird without worrying about paying rent. But seriously, how often do you sing to yourself I'm Like A Bird by Nelly Furtado whilst being up there?
This is a REALLY helpful video. Thank you
Great idea to use the time lapse to see what happened!
why would/does the hot air move up the slope rather than just disconnect from the ground and elevate exactly where it got created, rather than moving up the slope first until the top?
Far out! some of the crossing look really scary! Well done, i just discovered your channel now, thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Hope i Can fly with you one day in your Home town..
What on earth do you do if you miscalculate something and have to land high up in the mountains amongst trees with nowhere suitable to take off again? 😮
This feels like minecraft in creative mode
Amazing!!! Thanks for your explanation along the way. Which camera do you use where the battery lasts this long? On my GoPro I can barely make a 1 hour video.
That was a good explanation! I got into cloud suck very similar to that a few days ago but had planned a horizontal exit strategy beforehand. Small big ears was enough to exit. It was kind of cool passing between the dark scud bits torn off the bottom. Never done that before :)
That was epic! You're an inspiration to us learners. It's a technicality that number, you have the 300Km !
You're back! Awesome. Great flight as well
Super sebastian 🥳🪂🌪💪
Awesome vid. What camera are you using out of interest? The battery life is immense!!
Hi Sebastian! Can you please extend on the Vertical Trend? Isn't this factor "covered" by Width/Height ratio? Can you tell how much vertical development there is if there is no visible "cap" to the cloud height yet? Also, in the video you say that this cloud is "borderline", but this cloud is far from being 2x, let alone 3x taller than it is wide. Why is it borderline? Thank you!
Here I found the answers to my questions, thank you
Hi, very good video! Thanks! I'm wondering what video mode you use on the Insta 360, is this with Time Shit? How many batteries do you use for the entire flight?
when you breathe in the cold you are so have that condensation when you Mix die warm air from your breath and the surrounding
the timing for turn point 2 was pretty good!!!
Seb, so nice to see your excellent videos again after a pause
Play stupid games, get stupid rewards. Your next.....
Super impressive! Thanks for sharing your insights!!
Finally!!!
!!!!! SO good man thanks for posting
These videos are so good!!!
6:00 i don't get it. Luv might be on the left side huh?
Schön, dass wir dir wieder bei deinen Hammer Flügen zusehen dürfen. Freue mich schon auf weitere...🎉
😍😍
Pleasure to see your flights again! Thank you...
Love watching your videos! Great flight. Salam from Malaysia 🇲🇾
YES! The King is back! :D
An other gorgeous video, thanks! Awesome flight
Inspiring! Really cool to see the difference in clouds and base height when you transition into a different zone. As well as the sun/shade line as the sun set. Stunning flight!
Great to have you back! Great flight and narrative as always. 150m was worth the almost roof top landing! lol
Love your videos! Fly safe!
Amazing! 👍Congrats. 👏👏
Incredible flying skills, excellent video and beautiful scenery
Fantastic use of a 360° camera. It's amazing people can get to that many peaks in a single day, while hikers might get to just one.
Wow! That's inspiring! 🤩
how do you get back :) ?
This time by shared taxi, was not easy!
Wow! Great adventure, great video! 😊❤
My favorite paragliding videos! I'm happy you are back!
richtig schöner Flug! Respekt!
thats nuts
So happy that you're back posting vids. Rlly missed them.
Great flight. Congratulations! I'm glad you are back on RUclips.
einfach gstört…
Awesome! Thanks:) How was the new Insta360?
Was still filming with the 1R, the new should allow for continous filming 😊
@@sebastianbenz5336 is it possible to share your camera parameters to get such beautiful images? I do have the 1R too but it doesn't look so gorgeous 😢
At first I thought I am listening to Martin Scheel dubbing speaker ;) Stunning as usual and thanks for sharing these moments! :)
😂
Just Wow. Remember following you in the livetracking and wondering what you would do to close the triangle. The last Kilometer was a nightmare, wheter or not you find a safe landing.😅
Yes, it is almost impossible to close this triangle completely...
Finally another video!!! Congrats
