Best explanation on “How to connect and adjust your chase camera” ever! 👍

[ParaflyprojectIT]

As a paraglider/paramotor user, I must give you a big thank for all the useful hints.
As an european, extra thanks for using the metric system to measure the lenght of the line!

[fleurx]

Hey, thank you so much for this video!! I was just looking out for a camera and how to use it and your video came perfectly. Everything very well explained, and of much use. I love all your videos, you have great footage and are always positive. Keep up! xx

[Larzemensch]

Nicely done again, guy from the sky ;-) Happy holidays and a fabulous ‘22!

[GC]

Hey ! You rebranded !!! Would love to hear the back story as to what made you make the change (....how all you videos are then transferred over to the new account). Great instructional advice. Lots of trial and error. Makes me appreciate how much time and effort must go into making your videos. Have a Happy New Year !!!

[arthymcfly]

Hehe 👌 thanks too for the tricks I always struggled to put the good length line 😅

[FkMarty]

Merci beaucoup, très bonne vidéo.
À bientôt 😉👍

Great video, but you need to attach the clip to a break-ring first. If the camera catches a tree, it might pull your wing and influence your flying (probably at a low altitude). With the ring attached, it will slide off way earlier.

[PhlIvey]

Thanks for the video, I always wonder what's the best way, to keep the cam on the start at your body and release it during flight, like you did in the gopro 1 million shot last year?
Wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year with a lot of happy landings!

[philipv]

Ever had any problem starting and getting it entangled trough the lines ?

Some make it longer and have it in their hand while starting - releasing it once airborne.

[raxis]

I thougt that you have put the chase cam in the lines before the brakes, the C in my case. Why do you put in your brakes? Is it beter? Do you feel any type of disturbing movement or something having it attached to the brakes?!
Pd I f***ing love your videos man! <3

[edwinlooy]

Cool stuff man🤩 Still on my most wanted list😉 Everything in time right? Gopro and chasecam would be awesome to have. At least now i know how to use it allready👌

[borango]

Excellent summary! I want to update my ancient chase-cam setup. Now I am using a GoPro 11 Mini and I happen to fly wings with trim speed of 40 km/h (tandem and small solo wing). From your experience, would you recommend the larger or the smaller Skybeans model? Thanks for your input.

[silviuantochi]

Hey! Landing (pun intended) way after the release of this video was done. What launching mechanism do you recommend for the ChaseXC?

[niclasrohr]

What setting do you use on you Gopro? Linear, wide or super view?

[Masteroftee]

What about paramotors, how to set it up to not hit propeller

[renaudurli]

Very good explanation, thanks! So to get the complete wing in the frame, you have to have a 360 cam? Or shall it be possible with Hero 9 and Max lens mod? I haven't found the correct line setting with my Chasecam yet then...

[Docv]

Can you not adjust the angle of the Go Pro?
If you can, then the height it flies at (in relation to the Wing) shouldn't be that critical, should it?

[FAMILYTSIATIS]

How many meters should be the rope to tie the GoPro
