What is the Difference Between External and Handheld Cameras in Skydiving?
Both skydiving videos showcase the entire experience: ground preparations, flight to the desired altitude, freefall, and the diploma award.
In the external camera video, the cameraman flies in front of the tandem and entertains the jumper during freefall. After the freefall, the cameraman only captures the parachute opening and landing.
In the handheld camera video, the tandem pilot records with a camera mounted on their arm. It captures the entire jump, from freefall to flying under the open parachute, filming all the way to landing.
