rocket launch - If there are perfect conditions to take off, without strong
impulse wind and takeoff place is without sharp stones, you can use “rocket
launch”. It means you put the chasecam facing up next of glider trailing edge
middle, about one meter from the place where rubber line is hanged to glider.
It is recommended to make a coil or snake from rubber line between
chasecam and trailing edge. If camera top edge will face to glider, you will get
very nice shot, when wing will rise up above the camera and right after it will
record the whole launch.
harness launch - If you are not sure about smooth launch, it would be clever
to exclude any extra staff during takeoff. This means it is recommended to put
chasecam on velcro mount on arm strap of your harness and put it in the air
right after successful launch, when you are safely sitting in the harness.
Flexibility of rubber line allows to achieve stable picture from position slightly
above pilot head and mount possibility on pilot arm. This type of launch won’t
make a video during takeoff, but always remember - safety first.
landing
Landing with SkyBean ChaseCam is very easy and secure. If there is some
wind on landing area and therefore is possible to hold glider above, you can
catch the chasecam into hand, which is very impressive in video. If you will
land standardly, there is almost no risk of damage, because materials used for
head and wings are very durable and definitely protects your camera.
security note
We have spent hundreds of hours by heavy development to reach the most
stable chasecam behavior in the air. We have been using it for several months
during normal paragliding flight conditions without any dangerous situation;
however, any official security tests are missing, yet. Therefore we have to
advertise, that we cannot guarantee your inviolable security and every pilot
uses SkyBean ChaseCam at her/his own risk. Any member of SkyBean team
is not responsible for non-standard situations or injuries. Responsibility for any
damages or injuries to third parts is completely covered by pilot of paragliding
glider while using SkyBean ChaseCam. Please, let us know your experiences
and we are looking forward to your feedback after flights!
