Skydiving with a GoPro




Betty Wants In crafted this very unique skydiving video using a GoPro. It’s exceptionally peaceful; it makes skydivers look more like they’re floating gracefully underwater as opposed to plummeting through the windy stratosphere on their way toward terminal-velocity.

I’ve never used a GoPro, or gone skydiving for that matter, and now I really want to experience both. Mission accomplished Melbourne Skydive Centre.

    Quite interested to know how was it possible to achieve the super-slow-mo with the gopro? 30fps at 1080p or 60fps at 720p. This looks more like 500fps. Know anything?

    BettyWantsIn says in the video’s comments: “Yes all footage was shot on a gopro and slowed down with twixtor. We cant wait to see what people can do with this duo in the near future..”

    Loooooove our gopro. This is beautiful. I am curious how it was shot too. I am assuming at 720p. . ?

    They’re using tweening.
    If you look closely, you can see that the actual playback FPS in the slow motion scenes is only around 2 or 3.

    Ok, I just figured it out. They used Twixtor.

  7. Skydiving is a total thrill and I recommend it you do it at least once. Its a pretty surreal experience, much like this video. The video is beautiful btw. nice choice of music too.

    The other day when I found this video, I just so happened to be listening to Adrift. It is a more coherent pairing of music than what they chose.

  10. holy hell, that shot at 1:05 is amazing.

    That wasn’t human flight, that was “falling with style” lol

  12. Wow. And that camera isn’t that expensive, $299 for 1080p it’s really cool

    I think this was edited with twixtor, extreme slomo plugin for fcp and
    After effects, works VERY good!
