prost 0 #1 June 18, 2002 Has anyone had any experience with shooting video at high altitudes like 30K feet? A friend of mine is planning some high altitude jumps and we would like to video it. I am curious to about what kind of camera problems you would have and if anyone has had succes shooting video at this altitude.William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #2 June 18, 2002 First, go HERE.I think you'll see that you probably won't be able to wear your own camera helmet.If I was going to do it . . . and I've been meaning to for quite some time . . . I'd probably do a wrist mount so that I could take video of myself.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prost 0 #3 June 19, 2002 I know I will not be able to wear my own video helmet. We were discussing either mounting a camera on a halo helmet or modifying a camera helmet to take the oxygen mask. What I am wondering is if the Video camera will function correctly under those conditions.William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
