What is a Hand-Cam?Ī hand-cam is a camera (like a GoPro) secured in a glove and worn by your tandem instructor. For tandem jumps, video can be taken with either a hand-cam or outside video, or both. BUT licensed jumpers like your instructors and, of course, video professionals (also known as videographers) are able to wear a camera on the jump. That means that as a first (or second- or third-time jumper), you cannot film yourself. How Does the Video Work?Īccording to recommendations by the United States Parachute Association (USPA), skydivers should have at least 200 jumps in order to fly with a camera. Also, we use the Shred Video editing machine to automatically edit, host and deliver the video and photos from your jump directly to your email within 10 to 15 minutes of landing. Worry no more! Our videographers have hundreds, if not thousands, of skydives and hours upon hours of freefall time … trust us, we’ve got you covered. Let’s say you think you want the video package but are a bit hesitant that it’s going to be of good quality. BUT if you take our advice and get the video, then you can show it off all you want! Want to enhance your dating profile? What’s better than a picture terrified in the door, your cheeks flapping in the wind during freefall, or straight cheesin’ on landing? Reason 3: Our Videographers are Top Notch If you’re the dweeb who didn’t get video documentation of your skydive then you’re, well, out of luck here. Listen, one day you’ll be sitting at a bar bragging about how you’re part of the minority that has jumped from a “perfectly good airplane” (WOOOO!!) and someone is going to ask for proof. A first jump is special whether it is a simple check off on the bucket list or an experience that makes you want to learn to skydive solo. There are plenty of avid skydivers who have sick videos of them shredding through the skies on their 500th jump and still regret not getting footage of that momentous first skydive. Skydiving photos capture a once-in-a-lifetime memory! Seriously, we would recommend first-time skydiving videos and photos just as much as getting a wedding photographer! Think about it: your first skydive is priceless and will only happen one time. What more could you ask for? Why is Skydiving Video Worth It? Reason 1: Memories Skydiving pictures and videos are 100% worth it, hands down, YES! They capture the entire essence of a once-in-a-lifetime experience, act as proof that you actually did the dang thing, and allow you to relive the memory of your first jump over and over again.
