RED ONE Skydiving

[Craig OB]

Performance Designs Spectre 120 with dacron lines. Stock slider. Pack it neat and you get soft on heading opening every time!

 

[Brook Willard]

Welcome aboard, Craig!

To those that haven't drawn the connection, Craig OB is the camera flyer behind all of this great footage.

 

[Craig OB]

Thanks Brook! And thanks to all of you who have had so many cool comments about the footage. The Red is a incredible camera and was able to preform flawlessly from exit to landing. Most video cameras find freefall a challenging enviorment. It is still a bit big for a helmet mounted camera. I would not recommend your average skydiver to take it for a jump. Now if we can get our hands on a Scarlet we might have a camera that is really suited for jumping or helmet mounting on a regular basis.

A year too late but first time ive seen this clip too.. Very awesome indeed.

 

[Eric Ulbrich]

Pretty sweet man. If you want a second camera for it ever. Let me know.

 

[Alexander Alexandrov]

I would love to see some behind the scenes pics of it being mounted.

truly amazing. i cant believe you guys pulled it off with that weight and size.
i know Craig is one of the top camera fliers, but still, WOW.

was nostalgic for me to see Perris from the above again. I got licensed there back in the day.

Is it hosted anywhere else other than the Skydiving site? It says I have to register to watch it.

I can do that, just wondering.

Oh man, it's the best visual of skydiving you can get without actually being on the plane!
.

No is not, 3-D would be the closest to being there.

Erick Deren shot a skydiving video in 3-D here:
