Mr Bleu is gone and Wyrking Byrd is taking its place for cherry season. I went with a friend to pick it up on June 1 and we flew it back along the Snake River. I've turned that 2 hours of footage into a series of shorter videos. This is the first part.

About Me and the Helicopter
I have been flying for about 22 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters.
The helicopter in this video is a Robinson R44 Raven II.



About the Video
The video was recorded with two GoPro Hero 8 cameras. I used ambient audio from just one Hero 8 for the helicopter sound, dialed down by 10 decibels from normal volume so it wouldn't be annoying. I also had a Hero 7 connected to the helicopter's intercom system with an NFlightCam audio cable (https://amzn.to/31syLTm) to record audio from the radio and intercom system.
The "cockpit cam" frontfacing camera was mounted with my current Instrument Cam set up, which you can learn about in this BehindtheScenes video:    • Behind the Scenes: Cockpit Cam Instru...  . It's based upon a MyPilotPro Helicopter Mount (https://mypilotpro.com/product/helico...) modified to get the height I need. The other camera was mounted inside the helicopter using MyPilotPro Spider Swivel GoPro Windshield Mounts (https://www.mypilotpro.com/product/my....
The video was edited on a iMac using Davinci Resolve 17 software. Learn more about it here: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/prod...
The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed "Dr. Mac." You can find him here: http://www.boblevitus.com/
