Another day, four more jumps
Yesterday, against all odds, we went to Évora, Portugal again – praying for some holes in the low clouds. Somehow the universe did hear us and we ended up being able to jump 4 times. It was the first time i was recording video and i have to say it went really well. The GoPro Hero HD really behaved 
Some notes of learned things, yesterday:
- Mind your head, when carrying a camera. Especially inside the airplane!
- Always, and i mean always, be frozen stable on target when deploying with a camera on your head;
- Rain and skydiving are hard to mix. Unless of course you have a full face helmet. If you don’t it will feel like people sticking needles to your face;
- Be careful when downsizing, but get a wing load of 1:1 as soon as (safely!) possible. Otherwise you will be moving back when in high winds.
Here’s the 4 jumps
Blue skies!
