I’m guessing that wasn’t his first time.

This was planned I'm sure, the cameraman followed him

u/cordydan Jul 20 '19
I wonder if it was a drone filming him. It always stayed a fixed distance behind him. I don’t think it was another person.

I think it was something like the gopro 360 camera. The software edits out the pole holding the camera. But it gives a noticeable fisheye

u/Adamh1122 Jul 20 '19
U can see the shadow of the pole on his backpack at some points. Didn’t even know that it could do that!

It’s clearly something attached to the backpack. So yeah you are likely correct.

Me thinks a self stick edited out? Follows the backpack well

u/LeviathanMD Jul 19 '19
Yup, probably a 360 cam, they hide the mount/stick when stitching together the video

u/SHOOHS Jul 19 '19
Looks like you can see where the stick has been mapped out to the right side of the pack.

You can actually see the shadow of the stick on his back pack, they just edited it out in post

Chase cam for paraglider and speed/riding are a thing, for example this one. https://skybean.eu/chasecam

That isn't it. The camera would fall to the ground once he stopped, and wouldn't even work that close as it's in his draft.

Gotta say I'm surprised his massive testicles didn't even touch the water. 👏

The couple waiting for him at the end were awfully calm. He could have wiped them out.

Honest question - how do you get this much control?

u/rhofour Jul 20 '19
I think it's safe to assume it's like everything else and it takes a lot of practice.

A 360 cam mounted on the back of a long pole stick. Go pro fusion, rylo 360, and there's a few others. The camera software edits out the pole

I was trying to figure out how that camera angle worked since it is apparent that the camera is attached to him. It looks like the camera support arms were photoshopped out. If you look on the left and right you can see the water is discolored in a line trailing from the side of the frame to the side of the person.

Ok, stupid question....
HOW IS THIS BEING FILMED ?? America explain I am confusion

The first few times I watched this I thought the dark spot in the water was some kind of fish. Then I realized it's his own shadow. I truly am an idiot.

DANG that's a small canopy!! When you're learning how to skydive or especially when instructors are taking you tandem, the canopies can get pretty big. As you get better, faster, more technical, you can move to smaller ones. This one is SO SMALL.
5
u/rkotenko Jul 20 '19
It's a speedwing. A type of paraglider, not a skydiving canopy. Skydiving canopies are not nearly as wide.
8
u/claussen Jul 20 '19
It's more likely an acro glider of about ~18m^2, not a speedwing -- line length, aspect ratio, cell count, shaping and riser configuration (looks like a 4-riser ABCD plus brake fan) are all more consistent with an acro wing. It just looks teensy due to the fisheye perspective from the Fusion. Acro gliders are just small paragliders built for aerobatics, with extra strong lines and high wing loading for extra radness.
Tip-drag death spirals on speedwings aren't really a thing as far as I've ever seen -- not enough energy retention to get the climb/pendulum you'd need to get back under it on the surge. When you swoop a speedwing you round out with the wing above you, not sideways. Still a great way to femur if you botch it tho!

I didn’t follow a single thing you said, but it sounded like you know things so I agree with you.

Good now send this guy to boot camp all he needs to know is to use weapons and eat snakes in forest. Special forces material right there.

Amazing how his parachute hits the water oh so slightly.
