Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Section 7.4 of the APF Training Operations Manual (pdf) is what you seek:

Quote

7.4. HANDCAM REQUIREMENTS
7.4.1. Prior to using HandCam on a Tandem jump with a Tandem Student the Tandem
instructor shall have;
• Minimum experience of 100 tandem jumps.
• Recommendation by CI with logbook endorsement.
• CI approval of camera and mount.
• Undergo a course of instruction by DZSO.
• One jump with a licensed jumper before taking a Tandem Student.
• Audible altimeter is mandatory for Tandem Instructors with less than 50 Hand Cam Tandem jumps.
• Audible altimeter is mandatory for Tandem Instructors using a visual altimeter located other than on the camera hand.

CI = Chief Instructor, and the person ultimately responsible for all that happens on the DZ.
DZSO = DZ Safety Officer. Similar to the USPA's S&TA.
