Teams rigging and inflating balloons for a BIG launch

Join the teams around the launch field as they prepare for take off, assembling and inflating their spectacularly colourful balloons as this wonderful balloon festival.
Watch 600 Balloons launch at the biggest event in the world - • 4832 Miles to Albuquer...
Take your time and enjoy this sunny morning, as the balloon teams from across the UK gather to put on a massive display launch of over 100 balloons, and rather than edit down to a few detailed clips, here is the uncut, raw full 4K view from the launch field.
taking a step away from my normal, snappier editing style, I enjoyed watching the process of the teams getting their balloons ready, adding the heat and lifting off, against the backdrop of lots of my friends from around the ballooning community doing exactly the same, Time stamp in the comment as your favourite balloon drifts through the screen, LIKE what you see? click like to help us grow and SHARE the love for hot air ballooning.

Looked like perfect ballooning weather. Slow winds at take off. Nice right turn above.

A fantastic morning, lots of steerage with that low level change of direction, I set the camera up while just off screen I launched and of course flew away to the left 😀 never did make it back into the pack.

Patrick Libert one?

It's a Cameron O-120 (I think I just learned something new there) I've heard and seen a few 'Libert' balloons - are they made in Belgium? By Patrick Libert I guess :-) 🙂

​@@TheBigBalloonFestivalHi, sorry to only see yer reply now.
Eh, yep!
I once saw a foto of a bulbous one that looked like that yellow and black one a bit.
Yes, Patrick Libert works in Belgium's Brabant region.
He is the only professional balloon maker in Belgium I heard.
Nice channel you got there.
Happy New Year 2024,
