Recommended Posts

I've seen two busting out iphone in freefalll.
Once i got to the ground i asked what happens if you lose it???
They simply replied "ill just buy a new one."

Came out very shaky, not usuable, but their self portrait under canopy was cool.

I cannot believe a tandem was the first to exit....wow.

Why is that? Funny thing also......just watched the video again and realized that is my DZ. They always put a tandem out first........but dont really know why they do. I guess it has always been that way.

Because taking a customer on a jump where you have to pull around 5,000 feet, then letting some low timers fucking around with an iPhone jump out right after you seems like a poor plan.

Tandems usually go out last (except wingsuits) because they pull higher than sport jumpers. It wouldnt take much for the sport jumpers (especially while focusing on the iphone) to drift close to the tandem at pull time.

The new ones have good cameras on them.
I wonder if they would work if you lid mounted them?

Yeah, some of my buddies said they always put a tandem out first... it's f'n stupid. They were told it is for spotting purposes.
