poz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 If anyone is interested in making a chase cam, but is unsure how, then this video will be of some use. Great video, lovely machine. In fact it's worth having a look through his other videos as they are all really well put together. http://www.youtube.com/user/dorondekel#p/u/10/icBlvMaXf_Q Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 This could be of interest - should be easy to replicate if anyone is good with carbon fibre ? http://www.wingmancam.com/WingmanCam/Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzo200500 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Eeer, I can only just make out a silver thingy!! Got a larger scale piccie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfreefly Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 it has taken me more time to work out how to resize the photo than it took to make the chase cam.....it took a few flights to get it to fly in the right position but that little fin on the back is the key to success along with lots and lots of Duck tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which line do you attach it to? How long is the line? Possible photo of the attachment Don't worry if you can't at the moment, I know you have a few problems How's the recovery coming on?

garyfreefly Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 the recovery is slow Ive got another month before I am allowed to put my foot on the ground due to the fact that my Tibia is screwed to my Fibia and they need to remove the screws before I can put weight on my foot otherwise the screws might break..... but the good news is that I can move my ankle around 30 degrees on a good day but seem to have lost feeling in a lot of my foot but the Doctors reckon that it will come back in time....and has been improving a little bit as a result my left thigh is now like a cyclists....my right thigh like a snooker player the camera is hanging from the a lines not right at the tip but the next one in the reason is that any other line moves about to much because there is not a lot of weight on it and if you attatched it to the rear of the glider it is going up and down all the time as you apply the brakes I just made a loop in both ends of this hanging line one attaches to where the main line of the paraglider splits into lots of others that connect to the glider.......and the other end was adjusted up or down to get the right height I groundhandled with the paramotor on my back without the engine going to make sure that the camera could not get caught by the prop then just check the footage and away you go .... Ps might take a little bit longer to check the footage if you have not got a lcd screen you can play back on onthe camera ( al la gopro ) but on my atc9k I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seymore Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Morgy made up a Chase cam for me and then I had to sort out the mount. It is attached it to one of the inboard D line attachment points on the wing. I managed to get a near perfect angle first try. Mixed in the footage with a bit from a few days earlier when it was sunnier when I was using a pole to mount the camera. Now I just need to get some footage while flying somewhere spectacular. # Note the new helmet rather that my old chainsaw hard hat.

alan_k Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Nice angle on the chasecam, a little more stability and it would be perfect. Nice shots of spirals with the pole cam with the clouds swirling in the background. Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hey seymor Nice to it work's but does need to be a little bit more stable. Also i think your ment to attach it to the brake section of the wing. http://www.wingmancam.com/WingmanCam/In ... CTIONS.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfreefly Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Nooooo dont attatch it to the brake lines .....otherwise every time you turn ie pull the brakes the camera goes up and down.....If you use tip steering dont attatch it to the tip.....I found the best line to hang it from to keep it steady is the A line first one in from the tip or where the cascade from the top lines become a single line....

morgy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was only going from the instructions on wing man cam's web site.... I suppose it's going to take a while to get the correct angles etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
