Well, really I'm in Florida but still looks weird.

What a fascinating video, Russ! The strangest thing about it is that everything looks different when you're flying inverted because your view of the airplane doesn't change in respect to you. So the checklist would read rightside up then in your view. But as soon as you get adjusted to being inverted, the stick motions are different, but "normal." You still press the stick toward your right leg to roll (and turn) clockwise, just as if you were rightside up, but you push to nose up, away from the ground. So the video is disconcerting because the turns seem wrong.

Don, the Hero 7 Black Gopro's that I have will automatically correct the video whichever way they're oriented horizontally when you power them up, what I guess they don't do is correct that view after the power is on. When I first powered the camera up I was holding the mount in my hand and flying around filming the so old stuff but when I started making my water landings I noticed so large gator's which Lake Mattie has a bunch of, so was thinking maybe I could get a few on the video as I was landing. You really have to be careful this time of year because it's mating season and the big guys are all out looking to score. So I had to clamp the mount to the turtle deck bulkhead which made the camera upside down. When I got home and started going through the files to see if I caught one of those big guys that I saw on the lake, I saw the videos came out upside down. I started watching then and I thought the same as you, how weird it made everything look. I mean you you say it looks pretty weird. You right off what's going on and it wouldn't really look much like this if the plane was really inverted and there was some pretty good negative G's going on holding the check list down on the deck. In the video when I finally get lined up on approach to land it really got weird with the water and sky. Did you see the gator though, he was in the grass but was just a black spot. The other day I was landing on Mattie and I almost hit one, he just ducked as I got to him on the take off run.

Did any of you spot the a paramotor? After that first landing I was going around again, I
usually do three water landings, on the second one at about 3:47 minutes look just in
front you'll see him. I knew he was hanging around that field when I first started making
my landings.

Paramotor?
Gaaa. I watched the whole video again, and it's still unsettling. Nothing seems right.
My newest GoPro is a 7. Its stabilization routine often makes the windscreen move around when the horizon is rock-steady. That's odd, but interesting and hardly noticeable--and not nearly as distressing as your video, Russ.
