Cubic shaped Gopro cameras (Session 4 or 5) don’t need silicone ring, camera is secured inside head by flexible flaps on the sides.
- Page 3 Try to bind chasecam tightly enough to achieve solid shape. If binding will be too loose, chasecam’s shape won’t have the best aerodynamic characteristic. We recommend to bind wings in 4 separated pairs and after connect these pairs. Push...
- Page 4 Now insert camera into chasecam’s head and check from front view if chasecam is in horizontal position. Evenly adjust – move one of knots. Due to slightly different weight of cameras, some adhesive weights are attached.
- Page 5 Hero 5, 6, 7 and universal models use double line connection, there are two hanging lines, one of each side of chasecam, left and right. First attach a small metal ring to bungee rope. Insert loop into ring and drag it over. Rotate ring into position, where its ends sit under bungee rope loop (see red circle on picture).

- Page 7 You should avoid to let the ChaseCam fly in turbulence behind the pilot. P articularly PPG pilots should give attention to avoid longer rope. There is real possibility that chasecam can hit revolving propeller during landing if rope is too long! Use wide setting of your camera, we recommend 1440p or 1080s at 30fps.
- Page 8 1m from glider. It is recommended to place the bungee rope snaked or coiled between ChaseCam and trailing edge. You will get a very nice footage of rising glider above the camera and it will record the whole launch.

If there is wind on the landing area and therefore it is possible to keep the glider up after landing, you can catch the chasecam into the hand, which is very impressive on video. Anyway, you can let chasecam land without any action. Please note that ChaseCam is made from durable material, there is always risk of damage if you are landing on rough place. - Page 10 If you want to get more from glider into scene, push speedbar. Increased speed will produce more drag, so chasecam will fly further behind you. Set camera to 1440p to get picture from whole CMOS sensor. You can squeeze the footage to 1080p by software during post processing.
