5.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended Reading for all Camera Jumpers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flying The Camera, the complete guide to freefall photography & skydiving video (Paperback)
I picked up a copy of Patrick Weldon's Flying The Camera at the world freefall convention 97. Mainly because it was raining and I was bored. I was quickly surprised at what a truly great book it is! I have about 1500+ camera jumps, lots of competition stuff, and was surprised at how much I learned from the book. Flying the Camera is a very well written, very well put together book, and I highly suggest every skydiver read it before trying to "fly the camera." Regardless of skill level or number of jumps, this is truly a great book.

Very Well Written, Highly Recommended,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flying The Camera, the complete guide to freefall photography & skydiving video (Paperback)
A reviewer, an Up-and-coming skydiver: I had about 30 camera jumps when I purchased Flying The Camera. I read the book cover to cover and found it to be helpful in every way. I particularly liked the chapter called "mixing and editing your video" which helped me set up a pretty good tandem-video production at my dropzone. I recommend this book to all camera jumpers.
