    Here's a short video using shots edited together from three camera positions. A key-chain cam on the parachute guy, a Sony Webbie on the airplane and my Cannon PowersShot on the ground.

    Way cool! I like that kind of stuff. I need to figure out a way to drop parachutes from the heli.

    If you've got an extra channel on your TX you can add a micro servo and drop about any thing. My grandkids really get a kick out of me filling that drop box with hard candy and dropping it for them.  ;)

    haha, "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!"

    Ya,... or, third time's the charm.  ;)

    I learned quite a lot on that outing. I think the camera on the skydiver should have been horizontal rather than looking straight down and I had not used the Cannon much for video let alone video using the zoom. Most of what my son shot using the zoom was out of focus because we were using a wrong setting I think.  ::)
    I could be much better, maybe next time we'll get it sorted out.  :)

    LOL.  When I started flying RC helicopters I think 50 or 60 was the charm.  ;)
