  20. 1 : google search : john sherman parachute , it might help give you an idea. 2 : sit back, enjoy the ride. The manufacturers have got more experience in manufacturing parachutes than most of us DZ.commers. At least more than me and you put together. It's a good thing to get education about your gear, but there is no need to create polemics or panic moves at our level scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  21. Small plastic rectangular mount with a sticky tape on the bottom of it glued to the helmet and then the top mount (with a camera attached to it) is snapped into the bottom one (can be taken on and off at any time, the camera). The plastic should break on a cutaway during a snag, however the sticky tape is very powerful and hard to get off.. Kinda of a rough description from how I remember the mount and stuff.. there are still lots of suppositions. Do you know if the original poster mounted his camera the way you described ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  22. not saying that John Sherman is right or wrong, but do you know who he is ? He might have the background to analyse and give opinions on technical problems and solutions. At least he has some credibility in the domain. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
