Nothing makes you feel more self centered than walking to the plane wearing a helmet with a 7 inch extension mounted on the front with a camera mounted on the end of it facing back towards yourself. MORE ME!!! Anyhow, this is a video of me flying my new Phantom2z wingsuit. No flocking, just level flight in the pattern as this was my "pre-second" (so I don't have to buy beer) jump using this mounting system. I got the extension bar and the Low Pro mount from http://www.deltagearinc.com/ and I'm very pleased with the results.
Isnt this 3rd person? 1st person would mean, seeing what your eyes see.
Do be carefull jumping a setup like that if you dont have a cutaway. You wouldnt be the first who gets it caught in his risers during an opening with a few twists.
That aside, cool video...

@mccordia You're absolutely right about the 1st person perspective. I must have been trying too hard to keep with the self-centered theme of the video angle. I never watch my deployment... I normally do RW and I'm looking for traffic while the canopy is opening so my head is down. Thank you for your advice! I've got a couple thousand jumps but I'm just a baby when it comes to wingsuiting (less than 20 when this was taken. Any advice from someone with your experience is always appreciated.
