Tacpro

I use a Cookie G3 with a Contour mounted on Hypoxic side mounts. I rarely need to lift my visor, if I do encounter fogging I open it under canopy just slightly and it clears immediately. I also use Fog Tech DX wipes from Chutingstar.com to treat my visor once a month. I find when I inhale through my nose and exhale through my mouth fog is minimized. I prefer the Contour for the one-button actuation as you mentioned, but also the low-profile design and secure mounting to the helmet itself. I feel this design is less likely to tear off the helmet or snap off as I've seen with GoPro's that are top mounted. It sounds like your going to be using the camera for fun, if that's the case, so what if you have to pop the visor once in a while to clear fog, those sweet shot's and landings under canopy all start to look the same after a while.

Yep, there is a therapeutic side to skydiving, it has definitely helped me cope with PTSD.

This is my first full season in the sport, I started in mid September of last year completing only 11 skydives. So the beginning of this season was like starting all over again, sorta. Last year, during AFF I had a few issues like kicking in free fall and exiting stable. This year I performed my recurrence jump without issue a few 360's and front flips. About two hours later, jump #13, I had my first cutaway! I pulled unstable and had line twist all the way up! So it was only uphill from that experience, unless I killed myself....... Anyway, I did my fair share of funneling and falling out or flying by a group trying to dock. It was frustrating, RW started to bore me as I sucked, so my mind started to drift to free flying. Some of the best advice I received was to stick to flat flying with the notion of becoming really proficient at one style. I've participated on over 200 RW jumps, anywhere from 2way to 12ways! Reflecting on this I'm glad I listened, I've jumped with many 100 jump wonders who attempt a little of this a little of that and suck at it all. Jumping with experienced jumpers in 2ways, going to 4way camps, and working with organizers on bigger ways really progressed my learning curve. Jumping frequently, 3-4 times a week, really helped in cementing what I learned. It helped living 12 miles from a turbine DZ. That allowed for some weekday action and I headed to a larger DZ on the weekends to jump bigger ways. Although I don't have a coach rating yet I enjoy jumping with low jumper # skydivers. Because I'm new I still remember some of the new jumper apprehensions and issues. I feel it makes me a better skydiver, because I have to work harder when I jump with someone with lesser experience. Retrospectively, I should have done some tunnel before this season, I feel that would have helped me earlier this season. Also, due to scheduling issues I missed both a Brian Germain and Jimmy T canopy course opportunity early this year. I've landed off 4 times this year, I consider two my direct fault and two due to spotting, but regardless of the reason I feel I would have had a better chance of getting back to DZ if I had been taught better piloting skills early on. I will say landing off has built my confidence as I've had to put it down in small fields or backyard 3 of the 4 times, unharmed and on my feet I have jumped almost 250 times this season, earned my C, and now I find myself cautioning the FNG's on downsizing too quickly, I'm still at 1.1 and cool with it! I try to pass on the advice about becoming a good belly flyer first, as I feel that was the most crucial piece of advice that brought me to proficiency I'm at today
