We went up on a beautiful evening just to enjoy the scenery and do some practice landings. It puts me into a different and wonderful world.

Nicely done!
Those are nice views, but I think it would appeal to pilots more with engine sounds or even silence, rather than the creepy elevator music.
The GoPro is a real nice camera!
Very nice video!
Makes me want to go flying.
It's a tad chilly, and windy for an ultralight, right now, though.
Speaking of GoPro, here's a video I shot last week over our island, with the camera mounted on the wing of our RV-8A facing backwards. A somewhat unique perspective!

+1, Bill.....I've gotten to where if a video starts and I hear music instead of engine noise....b-bye.... Just a personal preference of course. I like the 'flying' experience more than the 'production' experience, I guess. No offense intended those who prefer otherwise.
I have an interface cable for in-flight that connects between my cam and a headphone jack....a headset plugs into that. Records intercom, ATC, and flight sounds (as you hear them thru the headset). The cable was $30-something. I will agree in advance with whoever will say this is not applicable if the cam is out at the end of the wing or tail :-)

I started out doing videos with engine noise, and, wow, were they hard to watch.
Now, I always use Dwayne O'Brien's songs about flying (from the album "Song Pilot" ) in the background. I do this for two reasons: First, I love his music. His songs truly touch a chord, resonating with many of the reasons I fly.
Second, he has kindly not copyrighted his songs, so YouTube let's us use them without hassle. If you try to use any other "flying" songs -- say, " Danger Zone", from Top Gun, as an example -- YouTube will ban your video for copyright violation.
