Jealous Yep thats me. Way back I was using a Canon 8mm std.super not yet invented clockwork powered movie camera on my helmet. Was so heavy I had to hold my head on opening. Sometimes I forgot with the magic floating feeling. Neck is still paying the price. Had a lot of trouble with the rubber bulb on the remote release as I found I had to connect air line at jump height. Got some movies of my mates. Lots stills.Pix at httppublic.fotki.comRockyOne Love the digital age 1010
Anything that is tethered would be a candidate for entanglement during canopy deployment. You have to assume that in an emergency situation you wouldnt be able to retrieve the camera. I think the aerodynamics to keep the camera steady and pointed in the right direction would be particularly difficult.Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane Because I have a perfectly good parachute
What about a simple fin like on a windmill where the wind will pull it vertical and hold the camera that way. Or you could try a streamer like on a kite but coming out of the top so the wind again puls the camera straight.CMAustraliaContourHD 720p
Hi...thanks No problems with the lens, or really any problems to speak of. Actually I have attached it to my helmet I have a short video on how I attached it, just click on my name to see all my videos with no problems at all...up to 160mph in a sit fly. The camera is so light that it really doesnt need anything beefy to hold it. I just put a couple of lanyards to my helmet in case I accidentially knocked the camera off.
Hi, great video, i fly a microlight and just bought one of these, im worried about lens missing inside at altitude, did you have any problems also is there any reason you didnt fit it to your helmet im worried the bracket will not be strong enough when flying through the air at 80mph, is that why you didnt use itGazza microlight pilot
Everyone else has already said how sick this vid isI cant wait to see some BASE vids with an ankle mount.. maybe on a hinge like those longboarders from Belgium did
Awesome mate. Great vid has totally convinced me about the Contour HD, before I watched this I wasnt sure of the whole HD thing but that is so crisp its unbelievable that it wasnt shot with a professional TV cameraWhat is the song though Great track for the film really fits well
Great video. I have been wanting to try that ankle angle for some time but have been holding off because I am a low number A jumper. Really great to see what it will look like when I finally give it a try. Looks even better than I thought it might. Good work. Blue skies
The ankle needs a little more adjustment on the angle...but its pretty close.Im hoping this will crank up the intensity of the skydiving videos I have a few more perspectives to try...cant wait to get back in the air
