maretus 0 #2 October 28, 2002 If you already are a experienced wingsuit pilot and experienced freefall photographer then of course it's a good idea. You might get some tips from example Vesa who hangs around here by the name of vesatoro. He was a wingsuit videoman in Hercules Boogie 2002 and knows quite a bit about fliying wingsuits and using camera with them.http://www.ufufreefly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vesatoro 0 #3 October 28, 2002 Quite many of the more experienced wingsuit flyers fly with cameras. Using the camera-helmet is not really a big deal if you 1. fly well with a suit and 2. are used to do filming on regular skydiving (freefly or FS). If the both conditions do not apply to you, then it's worth getting the knowledge of flying the suit and being as a cameraman separately before combining them. If you just have to concentrate too much to your flying, then you will not be able to do your camera work and vice versa. Of course, when wearing a camera while skyflying, the camera helmet should be designed with virtually no snagpoints. Entanglements with suspension lines and camera helmet is even more complex and dangerous situation when wearing a wingsuit compared to situation without a suit. Jussi Laine type massive camera systems are only for those who really know what thery are doing.
