video-who takes the center?
Can't Post
In RW, the vidiot takes the center at break off, but what about VRW? Reading the article in Skydiving Mag on freeflying, (page 9) made me wonder.
In reply to:
"The camera flyer always has the job of giving the jumpers in the formation the right of way. Although, the other jumpers should also keep an eye out to avoid the camera flyer."
Besides this, seems that freeflyers ALL have cameras on their noggins! NOW who gets the right of way? ;^)
What I've always been told and practice is on a vertical dive there is no such thing as center so camera or no camera is a mute point unless you are planning on getting the break off and deployment on video too. In that case thats clearly different then a normal jumps and would be covered in the dirt dive. (And yes Freefliers DO dirt dive....)

Everybody should clear their airspace and track... then clear it again before dumping... if someone is filming your deployment from underneath don't suck them into the basement. You should make sure everyone knows the plan before getting on the plane.
