RedBull GoPro Flutag Annual Flying Event

Each year, Flugtag, Germany is the location of some pretty unconventional flying. The Red Bull corporation holds the sporting event, as they have since 1991 in Vienna, Austria. The purpose for competing in the event is to present a homemade, human-powered, flying machine. The device has to be no larger than a cube that is 30 feet on a side, and it also must weigh less than 330 pounds. The flying creations are let go 30 feet over a body of water, and what happens after that is very entertaining.Filming these events has become popular using the GoPro lcd bacpac. A small number of of the devices actually fly. Just about all go straight from the take off ramp directly into the water. The amazing component of the event is how creative the designers are in making their flying contraptions that do or don’t fly, and how wildly the groups of inventors are outfitted. The competition has evolved into a showcase of Disney-like characters, both in the competing teams, and in the crowd, and it is a very enjoyable spectacle.

The flying contraptions must be composed of substances that will float, as they will end up in the water. They can have only one square foot of promotional space, and the materials must be friendly to the environment. The device must be powered purely by gravity and muscle-power, and the objective is to achieve some recognizable horizontal distance during the flight. The greatest horizontal distance accomplished in this enent was 229 feet at the 2012 event, which beat the Wright brothers duration by a little more than 100 feet. Well over 150,000 people gathered for the event. Among the costumes worn by the competitors included personalities from Star Wars, Batman, and many Disney movies. Some of the flying devices resembled boxes shaped like pigs, washing machines, and one person even jumped off the launching ramp having only an umbrella as his contraption. The celebration also features people dressed like their favorite rock stars, with many types of instruments falling from the launch site into the water. You will find a good deal of music at the celebration, as well. The event is a highly visual event, and blogs and video sites are loaded with fun images and videos taken by the participants and by the visitors. An enjoyable way to record the experience is with mini-digital cameras affixed to the flying gadget, itself. These images catch the excitement of the audience, the facial expressions of the pilots, and the final wrecking of the flying thing as it ultimately finishes up in the lake. Viewing recordings from the viewpoint of the participant and the flying machine gives audiences around the world a chance to travel to Germany for an extremely fun ride at an incredibly fun day.
There is a growing interest in the use of action sports cameras, such as the GoPro 1080p camera and GoPro lcd bacpac to view the pictures. Other options are included in GoPro accessories that make this camera the premier choice for extreme sports enthusiasts. Check out the action at goprospot.com!
