Pretty simply really. The operator places the nose of the canopy onto little hooks and the container goes below. It can pack up to three rigs at a time. It simply uses some gears to-

Actually it's just photoshop, but not recent... made it years ago. The machine is actually some kind of industrial oven. The real answers are never any fun.

So the one I've had on back-order for a couple years really isn't going to come?

Thread officially de-railed.
Back to camera helmets, I'm thinking of putting radio-controlled motion tracking on my helmet so that I can look anywhere in freefall and the lens will remain focused on the student, who is wearing a short-range xmitter.

There is an old camera flyer by the name of Ray Cottingham that jumps a set up that like a twin to one you posted. Except his is a black helmet.

That was the hot set up in 1997. I had one just like it. I did someone a "Favor" and gave it to them.
