White-tailed Eagle POV flight - Chamonix, Mont Blanc
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
After its spectacular flights over London, Paris, Cologne and Dubai the Freedom eagles have yet again taken to the air and embarked on a new challenge. Between August 26th-29th a white-tailed eagle and a bald eagle, both fitted with a Sony Action Cam Mini, flew over the Mont Blanc massif, capturing never-before seen, unique footage during the most difficult foot race in Europe, the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®. In collaboration with Columbia Sportswear, a Freedom Conservation and UTMB® partner, the eagle recorded a superb bird's eye perspective of the trail runners tackling one of the most renowned single-stage mountain ultra-marathons, which stretches over 170 km across Switzerland, Italy and France, with the 4.810 meter Mont Blanc as one of the most iconic background settings. #victortheeagle #darshantheeagle #UTMB #Chamonix #freedomconservation #sonyactioncam #columbiasportswear Always the latest Freedom Conservation movies first?

Founded by world renowned falconer Jacques-Olivier Travers and developed in cooperation with conservationist Ronald Menzel, Freedom is centred on an exceptional breeding facility in Thonon, France. It is here that Jacques-Olivier teaches birds of prey born in captivity to hunt and fly by skiing, kayaking and paragliding with them. They can then be reintroduced to nature with much better chances of survival and reproduction than with the traditional "hacking" method. Freedom's methods are filmed and have subsequently harnessed global media attention. By creating this unique & compelling content, Freedom seeks to engage a new generation of conservationists, catalyzing popular support for the protection of nature worldwide.

Wow grat video thanks !
I don't know how birds think or how to train them, so sorry for this probably dump question:
Is your eagle just trained to find you? so he takes off from a starting point and try to find your position.
Or would be possible to let him free roam your home area and let him take the Cam with him(as long as it's not to heavy for longer flights)?
Thanks -
Is the camera causing any aerodynamic problem for the bird especially when attaining high speed ?
-
How did you measure speed?

Thank you so much for this amazing video and sound!! So beautiful...
I wanted to share here something that it came into my mind while watching this.
A dialogue from the distant future between a father and a son:
Son: I love flying in the skies dad!
Father: Me too... You know my son, once upon a time, humans needed machines to fly in the sky, it wasn't always like we fly now...
Son: Wow! Really?
Father: Yes my son, it happened only when humans found peace inside and loved each other, that received this gift from the Universe... Like the Eagles always had... -
What sort of camera is this?
