    as far as setting I use manual mode with shutter speed between 800-1000th, aperture around 4ish and iso at 100. where it’s set depends on cloudiness and how I want the pictures to look. take test shots on the way to altitude if possible. one other thing I do is set the center of the picture as the focus zone. by doing that the camera was able to focus faster. best guess is that it doesn’t have to search the entire scene and figure out what I want to focus on. downside is sometimes i wished it focused somewhere else. same thing with going to manual versus auto, doesn’t take time to process the scene and figure out what aperture, shutter speed, ect to use. bigger downside if the setting aren’t good, you could have dark pictures or blown out pictures that can’t be fixed with editing. upside to both of these is faster focus at the door and faster continuous shooting play around with the camera a good bit before you take it up. there’s just as much to learn about it as there is skydiving and every camera is different.

    I bought a camera cage for my a6000 and mounted it to the flatlock. a lot more flexible with the amount of threaded holes on it and I was able to get the camera closer to centered with less overhang. did the same for the gopro as well. don’t know how well that’ll work with a canon though. one of the reasons I bought the a6000 was because the lens mounted on one side instead of centered like most cameras. I can make the setup more compact with the gopro in front of most of the camera except the lens. camera cage is still a good idea incase you bump the door on the way out though

    What the right believes is not a legitimate basis for claiming that both sides are actually doing something. This is particularly true right now when the justification for the right's wave of anti-democratic legislation is that their voters believe there was election fraud. Right after the party spent several months inundating them with false and baseless claims of election fraud.

    Your Cookie top plate is designed to go with the Flatlock from Cookie. I'm currently jumping a Fuel with a Top plate with Flatlock. This gives me opties for mounting camera's. At the moment I mostly jump with 2 GoPro's. 1 for video and 1 for photo. I also have the option to fit my Sony A6300 if I want. I use a 15 mm lens for that camera and a blow switch. I have tried the bite and tongue switch and found that the blow switch is easier in use. As for camera settings, do a search on this forum. Much has already been written about it. Also, check out Youtube for setting up your GoPro. You could search for cinematic GoPro. Try out settings on non commercial skydives, see what works best for you and what produces good footage.
