Firebird Raven Large Paragliding Glidewatch Go Pro HD

Yet another day flying at Shining Tor on the Firebird Raven, it's been all westerlies this summer and I crave another wind direction and site to fly if only for a variety of a different view. Some top landings to boot. Go Pro HD steamed up again, any suggestions for this fogging, really annoying!

Thanks for that advice, I will try it as others suggest it and it is way less pricey than the official insets, it's a bit cheeky making a camera that steams up and the flogging you a costly solution. And yes, Raven is a good wing despite Joey the Clown Murphy calling me Mr Grumpy for my review, that's a full head of hair for you! BW Bill

A small pack of silica gel seems to do the trick to stop the GoPro steaming up - just slip in beside or below the camera body. Flew the demo Raven L in Spain - great wing!

@chezmeg Don't know why they come up twice, but I only click POST once I hope. Must be because it is twice as good a site!!! ha ha! FB do make good wings, one of my next OAPgs is the notorious Ninja, now that should be something to see! BW Bill

@chezmeg Hi Chez, These are small round inlet holes on the front leading edge in the outside cells. They have been seen by this designer before, but on previous models they were just hot cut into the ripstop nylon, now, as you can see they have put some stitching around them. I have not heard of any problems before but manufactuirers like Firebird are always improving things, this is a very well made wing. BW Bill
