Another cracking adventure Ben 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m thinking of going down the 360 route for 2023 - do you know anything about the X3? And on the 360 footage where you’re talking are you using sound from the Insta or the GoPro? Cheers from a wet and windy Blighty!

Cool! I have the One R, but the One X 3 looks good I'm considering upgrading. I use the gopro + lav mic for audio and I sync it with the 360 footage, however you can also get mic adapters for the insta too, I haven't tried it that way around but I'm sure it'd be much the same.

@BenjaminKellett

Its all thermal lift, mostly coming from thermals triggered at the snow line

I'm a 72 kiwi living in the Philippines. An hangglider pilot back as far as 1977. In the last 3 years logged 320 hours paragliding. To old to walkout 12 hours. Maybe a copper ride out. How I would love to do a flight like that. In the next couple of years my married. Granddaughter might make me a greatgrandfather. So my video would be titled Great grandfather flys 100 in a paraglider. How many hits would that get?

Not sure to be honest, I can ask. I use Baist gloves though and really like them! I have the trigger mitts that means I still have the index finger to use the B riser toggles. The glove liners are compatible with touch screen as well. There’s a link in the description that gives you a discount if you’re interested! 😁
