James Mercer’s paraglider camera mount
Norwegian paraglider pilot James Mercer linked this video to a comment on one of our posts, but we think it deserves its own. So, here it is: James has made a special mount for his video camera so that it can be mounted in his paraglider cells and the camera angle changed in flight, really giving him control over his in-flight footage.
James has other videos of his setup, just search for ‘Topviewpg’ on Youtube or Vimeo.
