Great video. I have been wanting to try that ankle angle for some time but have been holding off because I am a low number "A" jumper. Really great to see what it will look like when I finally give it a try. Looks even better than I thought it might. Good work.

Awesome mate. Great vid has totally convinced me about the Contour HD, before I watched this I wasnt sure of the whole HD thing but that is so crisp its unbelievable that it wasnt shot with a professional TV camera!
What is the song though? Great track for the film really fits well
Hi, great video, i fly a microlight and just bought one of these, im worried about lens missing inside at altitude, did you have any problems? also is there any reason you didnt fit it to your helmet? im worried the bracket will not be strong enough when flying through the air at 80mph, is that why you didnt use it?
Hi...thanks! No problems with the lens, or really any problems to speak of. Actually I have attached it to my helmet (I have a short video on how I attached it, just click on my name to see all my videos) with no problems at all...up to 160mph in a sit fly. The camera is so light that it really doesn't need anything beefy to hold it. I just put a couple of lanyards to my helmet in case I accidentially knocked the camera off.

Don't know why it say VHoldR...this was recorded with the ContourHD.
Great video , you gave me some ideas.....!!!
The ancle cam is awesome!
The ankle cam is awesome!
The ankle needs a little more adjustment on the angle...but it's pretty close.
I'm hoping this will crank up the intensity of the skydiving videos!
I have a few more perspectives to try...can't wait to get back in the air!
Hey, did you see the hinge/swivel mount the Belgium longboarders built? it keeps the camera level to the ground... maybe workable?
Not during freefall...relative wind would play havoc with the mount. Maybe under canopy...
Dude! This is perhaps the best skydiving video I've seen! Killer angles, great view, excellent!

Nice footage!
Was the noise recorded by the mic much windy? Did you protect the mic with something?
No, I didn't protect the mic but did drop the volume level about 5db in putting together the video. Otherwise it would just be too much wind noise.
i think this vid just needs one more comment. :) :)
Don't get greedy!
This really is a favorite of mine ss
Everyone else has already said how sick this vid is!!
I can't wait to see some BASE vids with an ankle mount.. maybe on a hinge like those longboarders from Belgium did!
