Canopy mounted camera

Recommended Posts

Hey
Sorry to trouble you with those newbie how do you do that questions but i was just watching good stuff and i saw the bit where someone was filming from what looked like a camera fixed to the canopy. When he landed he seemed to catch the camera as part of the canopy. I was wondering how that was done?

Thanks

I was flipping through the old Parachutists at the DZ a while back and I found an article from not to long before Good Stuff came out ('98, maybe?) that had a story about how the guy in the video (Jaime Paul?) did it. He kept quiet on the exact details since it's a trade secret, but did say that it was hoisted up into the canopy after deployment and was rigged so that the lines and trigger cable (for when a still camera was used) would appear to be normal suspension lines.

Thanks for the info guys. It just looked really good, i guess, as you say indyz, the must have rigged it so it could go up one of the lines to the center of the canopy after deployment. Clever stuff.
