Casey Mongoven jumps with students sporting the new GoPro Hero 12 shooting in HDR 4k 16:9 60 fps in wide mode at Skydive Santa Barbara on September 17, 2023.
You should make a a digital altimeter that looks like an analog altimeter. Maybe after 1500 feet the screen switches to a numeric digital readout for the landing or something. I have only done a few tandems. But I think analog computes in my brain way faster and makes more sense. If I was to get my AFF Id go with old school analog and maybe have a small digital for the landing.
Hi Casey, thank you for the videos, they look amazing! I have just got the Gopro12, could you share the full setting for the jumps? I wanna be ready for the next Xmas Boogie en Sevilla! Thank you in advanced 🤟🏼😊
In a sense yes. The way I see it is AFF is learning to jump period (operate equipment, land safely, etc.) whereas the coached jumps are about learning to jump safely with other people (skills like docking and tracking away). Good question.
This is the new speaking altimeter? Anyone thinking about getting it should buy one right away. A speaking audible and regular alarm audible is what I use and hardly ever look at my wrist until under canopy. I think it's the future of audibles especially for freefly and angle when you can't look at your wrist.
The HDR is actually very noticeable when you look at the shots from inside the plane. On the 11, the outside would look a bit more washed out. One negative thing I notice and I am not sure it is with my camera is a bit of lens flare and streaking sometimes ...
not the tandem yelling when the door opened

Of course! In these videos, I typically use: 16:9, HDR on, 60fps, 4k, usually Linear (L) but sometimes Wide (W) on student jumps.
These turned out pretty awesome despite that lens flare! The clouds on the first couple are a nice addition
Are you using max lens mod or regular? Looking for new skydive camera. Blue skies🤘
Just regular Hero 12 on narrow field of view, 60fps and HDR.
Are Coached jumps just practicing what you learned in AFF Level 1-7?

Indeed SonoAlti 3V is coming out in the next hours ...
It seems not much diffrents between Gopro12 and 11.
