Does this improve the camera's performance for skydiving use?

Just unwrapped my two new GoPro3+ Black editions and my sick new handcam glove, pivot pad!

The bolded features above are valuable for skydiving.
Be sure you follow directions well (charged battery, etc) because it is possible to brick the camera (albeit not easy to do).

Thank you DSE!

They are charging at the moment. Will get around to updating later tonight.

Any idea on time to flash in the update?

Woo hoo! I hope you got to try out your new HC setup today. If you ever have any questions about the Pivot Pad glove, you know where to find me :)

Thanks Chris. I absolutely love the setup.

I made 8 jumps with it this weekend. Piece of cake to operate.

The external buttons and the swivel are well worth the premium over all of the other products on the market. The door for chip and USB access are icing on the cake. Actual protection for your lenses. No need to use one button setting, which I personally think is a pain in the ass for turning the camera off in between clips.

Hands down the best glove I have used, and the best available as far as I am concerned!

I wouldn't want these new cameras in any other glove!
