(rev. 1803)

SkyBean ChaseCam is unique product dedicated to record awesome

videos and photos from position behind the paragliding pilot. Its shape is

tuned to achieve as stable picture as possible without electronic

stabilization.

Security of action camera

We designed ChaseCam for maximum security of your action camera.

GoPro Hero 3/4/5/6 must be secured by silicone ring (included in

package), while GoPro Hero Session 4/5 model doesn't use it. Ring must

be applied before placing stabilization wings into their position.

ChaseCam head – IMPORTANT STATEMENTS

However ChaseCam heads are produced with the newest available

technology of 3D printing, there are still some limitations. High

temperatures above 40 °C (100 °F) causes loss of rigidity, but this is not

harmful. Freezing temperatures significantly increases heads fragility, so

there is risk of broken head while landing on frozen surface. Due to this

fact, winter flying is at your own risk. Avoid to exposure 3D printed part to

long-term pressure, even low, it will deform it, e.g. never leave the silicone

ring wrapped around the empty head. If head will even though deform,

don't panic, it can be put back into correct shape by heating for 1min by

standard hairdryer and formed by your hands.

Put line used for hang and bungee rope parallel - 1m shorter bungee rope than line is a good position to start tuning.

If you have Hero3/4/5/6 version, always use the rubber ring to secure camera in its position inside the head. assisted take-off - If there is somebody helpful available, this is the best option to get awesome shot during takeoff.
