Handycam Gloves

The freefallsupport.com GoPro™ Handycam gloves are small, strong, comfortable gloves which are designed to stay out of your way while you're doing all the important stuff that you need to do as a Tandem Master! Your fingers are free, and you can close your hand around a toggle comfortably - nothing making it hard to grab handles when you need to!

2 models are available: The GoSolo which holds a single GoPro™ camera, and the second generation 2Up which holds two GoPro™ cameras - one for Stills, and one for Video. Both are based on the same glove, which is fully adjustable and is constructed in heavy duty 1000D Cordura, foam padding inside, and with an interior lining of spacer foam. The glove covers only the hand, leaving your wrist, thumb, and fingers free to do the important skydiving stuff. With a high density foam base and support, there is nothing hard inside the glove or platform (except your GoPro!) giving total flexibility, and reducing the chances of injury or entanglement in the event of an awkward landing or exit.

We use and recommend MyTuffStuff lense protectors - check them out here.

The glove size is set by a velcro strap across the palm, and is held closed by a velcro strap at the wrist, which secures behind the camera.

This means that you never supply a skydive video, or still photo, to your customers which feature a flapping piece of velcro!

Small          20cm (7 3/4 inches) around the knuckles, 9cm (3 1/2 inches) knuckles to wrist

These gloves are the result of years of intensive R&D in a Cessna DZ environments, so you can be sure that they are snag resistant, and heavy duty! Your GoPro camera is held securely by elastic onto a HighDensity foam base. This base is moulded to the shape of your hand, with a support fillet of the same material behind the camera. This helps prevent camera shake, while giving a pliable mount which will protect your hand and camera in the event of an awkward landing or exit.

The base is tilted upwards away from your arm at about 20 degrees, reducing the amount of your arm in the video, and giving the perfect angle for 'no thought' video. Just hold a straight armed arch, and the camera is looking straight at you both! Use your single landscape mounted GoPro camera for either Stills or Video.

The angles of the camera, and the pliable base, combined with the small but strong glove, make this unit the perfect HandyCam glove for new tandem Masters.

Gloves can be made with the camera mounted at any angle you want though.....

The standard angle is with the camera on a line from the rear wrist bone to the index finger knuckle and is perfect for newbie Tandem Masters, or those with shorter arms.

An angle from the rear wrist bone to the second (longest) finger is great for experienced tandem masters, or those with longer arms, as the amount of arm in frame is greatly reduced.

As the gloves have no in-built lense protection, we use and recommend MyTuffStuff lense protectors - check them out here.

All camera buttons, cards, and plugs can be accessed while the camera is in the glove, and the clear front lets you clearly see the indicator lights and screen on the camera, letting you skydive with confidence, not worrying whether your camera is on or not.

The heavy duty plastic front is secured by a velcro sandwich at the back of the base, preventing the camera escaping if you snag the glove at the door, or on a riser.

....and you never need to remove your GoPro from the glove!

The freefallsupport.com GoSolo GoPro™ Handycam glove comes in 2 standard angles:

Angle 1 - Short - is perfect for Tandem Masters with shorter arms, who need all the length they can get between them and the camera. The face of the camera will be parallel to a line running between the outside wrist bone and index finger knuckle.

Angle 2 - Normal - is best for Tandem Masters with longer arms, who like to bend their wrist with the camera under the passenger. The face of the camera will be parallel to a line running between the middle of the wrist bones and index finger knuckle.

Specify which angle you'd prefer (Angle 1 - Short, or Angle 2 - Normal), on your order.
