Chase cam for ultralight aircraft: 3d printed

Chase cam redesign from BeriBgood at Thingiverse for paraglider, it is smaller and has wings, you can see the results with insta 360 one x, and GoPro 9 without and with horizontal level, GoPro gives better quality but a 360 camera gives better stability.
Hope you like it!!

That’s really cool

Wonder if you used monofilament or something you could make the tow line disappear better.

Neat! Are you manually letting out and pulling in the tow line?

I tried that. It was still very visible. :-(

It's easy enough to fix in photoshop for stills. I haven't found a good way to do it yet for video.
