360 is the new SUPERVIEW
360 Cameras are a big gamechanger when it comes to onboard Acroparagliding footage. Back in the days the pilots used huge fisheyes on their MiniDV cams or Lipstickcameras with complicated cablechannels through their equipment.

We hung in with the frustrating conditions because the alternative was landing in the middle of nowhere with the potential of dust devils and long walks out.
