Thermaling thoughts process real time - Paragliding

I went to have a flight with my new microphone setup. All the commentary has been done real-time. Hope this kind of content is usefull to have a bit more insight on what really goes on during a cross country flight.

Again, great video!
How do you record sound? Very little wind noise.

[@FlyingKarlis]

Thank you! I bought an external microphone with a wind cancelling cover, (RØDE SmartLav+) it's connected to the Insta 360 and records the sound at the same time as the video. I put the mic. in my helmet. It seems to work well.

What is your preferred weight fork for weak lift when flying in baltic flatland. To be in low end and add some weight if needed?

[@FlyingKarlis]

Hi Timo, thank you for your question. In general if you are going to fly in weak lift flying a wing that is not loaded to the top seems to be the choise. I don't really think of wing loading too much myself, I usually just fly at the weight I am. In my case it is about mid-range. If I plan to go fast in strong conditions, I'll take some ballast to be on the top of the weight-range.
