This Is part 1 of a 2 part tutorial showing you how to make a cheap but very effective wing mount for a small video camera under your Paraglider canopy.Easy to make and interchangable between most wings.Here is a video with some of the results http://www.vimeo.com/4863408 I do not use a wide angle lens but you can use one If you wish with this design.Good luck making yours and fly safe.
Great video! Whats the name of the nice jazzy tune in the background? I like it!

Congratulations - a super system.
I have also been interersted in the same idea but have gone a slightly different direction and am using a hula-hoop. I have also made a steerable version to move the camera direction while flying.
One word of advice. I also started off by using the cheap carabines to mount to the wing canopy . I soon found out that lines can easily get caught in them (Murphys law of tangled lines). I then changed to the closed type (see videos).
