I really like this movie. I have started paramotoring with my GoPro and I am interested in how you mounted the camera for this one. did you attach it to the toe of your boot or your chin, if so how? Thanks

@pb6095 simple, I simply used black electrical tape to strap my camera (a small HD camcorder) to my boot. Boot mounting is way better than helmet mounting. It allows you to film independently of where you are looking, and makes low flight look even lower. I used to use a bullet camera for this type of filming, but connecting all the wires and charging batteries was a giant pain in the arse!

Google "filming your paragliding flights" and you should find some articles I wrote in 2005.

i will try it, I can improvise with the GoPro straps. with helmet cameras you only get a small bit of decent footage at a tim because you have to keep looking away from the subject. Also keen to try mounting it on the wing looking down.
