Aerial interview....

[DSE 5]

Ever wanted to do an in-air interview?

I'm guessing that's you holding the mic (looks like your rig and your locale). Is the carabiner on your harness there to hold the mic during exit/deployment?

Yes, it's there for deployment. I exited with the blimp in my hand. Tying it off to my chest strap is first choice, but when it's -20 at altitude and I'm bare-handed, I'd like options.

No gloves at -20 is insane . You can't feel your toggles!

A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................

Eh, just leave them stowed and then pop em right before you need to flare. You get good at harness turns.

Actually, you can. One thing that's interesting; notice the burble the blimp makes? The hair on top is blowing downward.

While this appears to be a joke, some people reading may not know that a few years ago, a fatal incident resulted from somebody waiting too long to unstow their toggles.

As did someone who waited too long just a few months ago, too. A camera flyer at Elsinore.

Is that a carabiner on your leg strap where the junction is with the lateral? If not, what is it, and what's it for?

[howardwhite 6]

But you didn't tell us how the sound was.

meh...it's there, you can hear something, but it's not like it's terribly useful. It's more of a stunt/gag thing than real world. She can't hear anything I'm saying anyway. So, everything she said was pre-staged.
Blink, your answer is found about three posts up.

also looks like the TM is just about to slide right into you....
( his right leg positioned as it is....)

Tandem was turning towards me, the later pix have better right light etc.
Chris Warnock/Parachutist shot it.
This the worst of the series, don't want to publically share the good ones (yet).

[howardwhite 6]

Ever tried a wireless mic on a freefall subject?

HW

[DSE 5]

yep, I have, and with a big mouse, it works reasonably well. I'd like to try a throat mic one of these days.

it was -36 at our dz last weekend at altitude!!!

[jimmytavino 16]

i guess i was wondering??/ where is the camera that YOU. are flying DSE???
is it hiding under the blimp???or were you without a camera???

i like the idea of multiple cameramen, each with specific assignments...what fun...

I didn't have a camera, the angle I wanted to generate wouldn't have benefitted from me wearing one, and it would have also distracted from the Blimp, which is the product I'm wanting to focus on.
When the magazine ad prints (different photo), I'll post it.
I too, like multiple camera angles. We shot a piece for Turner that involved four camera angles and although it's a bit of a dance, it works out well if it's properly planned and dirt-dived.
