Powered Paragliding New Camera

I got an ATC2K helmet cam as an Amazon "Gold Box Deal" for $50. Here is my first attempt with it. I'm flying a MacPara Spice 22 with a Fresh Breeze Solo paramotor. Most of my flying is in the weeds as this video shows. This park is great: wide open, not many people. The winds were almost completely calm, otherwise I wouldn't be flying this low. The biggest drawback of the camera is the microphone. It is due for a hack.

With the ATC2k, as you now know, you must aim for all below the horizon or all above. Any shots with ground AND sky will render anything below the horizon too dark to see. It's tricky but you did a great job.

No, it was pure luck, and I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. Can't wait to try some more stuff. I'd like to figure out an anti-vibration frame mount, but that is a difficult problem.

Look up skydiving video helmets.....They are made with flat tops to mount all kinds of video/still gear onto. I fly my PPG but with much better production quality gear and also use it when I skydive too. My videos are rock solid and smooth. You just need to look with your eyes instead of always turning your head. It takes a little practice but looks VERY good when you get it figured out.

i was thinking of straping a cam to my foot while flying but all you would see is a bunch of dirt some wires and a run away water bottle. i like your fence hoping. low level hijinx

I loved it.

That's what I like to do also- strap the camera low and do some low flying.
