Last trip of the year in the Mooney

[ThorFlight]

This video came up in my YouTube feed and I thought it was good enough to share here.

It has some pretty views of Denmark from well appointed M20E.

Anyone have thoughts on what looks like 3 bulb LED "landing lights" mounted on the upper gear door?

WOW. How did you get those camera angles?  It seems as if you have a camera floating but just in front of the right wing maybe 1 or 2 ft.

Beautiful shots.  I have been to Denmark and been out in the waters on boats and by the sea on land, and that country makes me think of the Vikings - very cool seeing that same terrain by air in your video.

Not my video or plane. In the shots right before engine start, you can see the camera mounted on a pole attached below the leading edge.

I think this is the camera he's got mounted on a stick probably from the tie down ring under the right wing. Trent Palmer uses the same camera on his Kitfox.

I love the effect.

I'm curious about the camera mounted to the ceiling. The video makes it look like it's mounted on a stabilized gyro. Is that the GoPro 8 or is it a gyro mount?

A very well done video by the way. Thanks for posting.

Wow!

Way to film Mooney aviation, Thor!

the camera on a stick is really interesting...

thanks for sharing the details.

It really is a beautiful, well appointed M20E.   
 

Did not see the 3 bulb light referenced earlier...

Best regards,

You can see the stick shadow against the plane, cool camera shots.

I'm trying to figure out how he does multiple take-offs and the entire flight with the cowl flaps closed.    My engine would last about two minutes that way.
