Kimblair13 0 #1 June 27, 2006 When backflying with tandems to video..... Camera jacket or freefly suit? Which is easier? Which is better? Is one used more than the other? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miami 0 #2 June 27, 2006 I use a freefly camera suit with "c" type wings (attached along the front of the arm) for all my video work, from backflying with tandems to filming 4-way at nationals. I've found the wings to give much more range than doing it in a freefly suit only, and as a reference I'm 6'4"/195lbs. Hope that helps...Miami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #3 June 27, 2006 I'm also a bigger guy, so there's no way i'd get away with filming tandems without wings, never mind on my back. I jump in standard freefly pants and camera jacket. My wings aren't the biggest, in fact i want to go bigger. I enjoy using this combination though, because it gives me a sense of freedom that i like while doing my limited bits of freefly with the tandems.

BlueSBDeath 2 #4 June 27, 2006 I use a over sized FF suit for both belly and back with TMs and most pre-planed video. I am 5' 7" and 160 lbs. Stay Safe, ArvelBSBD...........Its all about Respect, USPA#-7062, FB-2197, Outlaw 499 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyandinnocent 0 #5 June 28, 2006 My camera jacket has the wings attached to the front of the arm, but has also little sitwings (like the old sit-suits) on the back of the arm. Works great on the belly or on the back, with the added stability if you have to sit/stand up for some reason. Only had to do that once, tandem had a collapsed drogue, but it worked just fine... I'm 5'3" and 140lb Good luck! It's never too late for a low turn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
