Duh. I have sat in this plane! It just occurred to me (second time watching). This is my first ever Zenith up-close experience. Thank you for that Tom! Been meaning to check back to see how it was progressing. Nice looking plane he has. Very much attention to detail. Also love his hangar and personal private airport!

Yes, Tom and I are both devotees of the "dual stick cult," a strange and mysterious group that are immune to "Y stick fever!" Ha!  Of course, the real reason for dual sticks is that it doesn't obscure the action cam's view of the instrument panel!  :>)

I personally am Thankful for the videos that Zenith shows, and at the same time I must say EXCELLENT video here! Very few I have seen with the traditional control stick. Thank you very much for sharing this with your fellow builders. PLEASE MAKE MORE! :-)

Yes, it was made with a Garmin VIRB. Tom also said he used a filter that eliminates most of the stop-action prop effect that is so annoying in action cam videos!

I agree, great video! With the GPS overlay I'm guessing he was using the garmin Virb. It looks like he has the rudder issue I've seen some posts on also.

This is a GREAT video. Better IMHO than the ones Zen makes! LOL. Nice to have a video without an annoying soundtrack and the placement of his camera was excellent. It really showcases the view in the STOL! His cruise speed seems pretty slow though... What model of GoPro (I'm assuming that's what it is?) is he using? Thanks for sharing! :D
