DSE 5 #1 December 18, 2011 Everyone knows handcam sucks, but it's cheap and frees up a seat on the aircraft for another tandem or fun jumper. With the RSAV (Remote Skydiver Aerial Vehicle), the seat is still freed up, as the RSAV is ground launched. The TI wears a guidance unit in the helmet, providing proper coordinates and direction for the RSAV unit. The RSAV is also capable of real-time transmission of HD video to a ground unit, allowing a DVD to be complete prior to the student being unharnessed and de-briefed. Although the cost of the RSAV is high, the cost is offset within approximately 1500 tandem skydives. The RSAV is silent, has no sharp parts in case it collides with TI/student, and most importantly, has no interest in your girlfriend or beer. It keeps its mouth shut during staff meetings and doesn't ask for time off so it can participate in a bigway or boogie event. More info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
