Despite, Chase XC is ready to fly right out of package, there are several points to note for the best possible performance:
- Set the correct bungee rope length for your glider.
- Set super view angle on your camera, 1080p or 4k @ 50 FPS for recording.
- Attach Chase XC to brake line loop in the middle of canopy.
- Higher speed = more from glider in scene

FAQ:
Q1 - Lost rubber end cap for 2.5mm thick (1€ coin) carbon rod?
A1 - Get spare PT-4.35-1 rubber end T-shaped caps for 2.5mm thick carbon rods here - PT-4.35-1
Q2 - Lost rubber end cap for 2.0mm thick (10¢ coin) carbon rod?
A2 - Get spare PT-3.7-1 rubber end T-shaped caps for 2.0mm thick carbon rods here - PT-3.7-1
Q3 - And the magnetic fuse ? is it safe to use it or will the camera fall from it?
A3 - Magnet opens at ~2.5kg force. Chase XC produces drag ~0.2kg @ 40kph and 2kg @ 200kph speed. So it won't open if chasecam flies freely. If it stuck, magnet will open, as it is always better to loose camera than your life :)

How to use Chase XC
This video shows couple tip and hints how to use Chase XC follow cam.
Best quality out there
The ease of assembly and durability is what really sets this chase cam apart from others. All I have to do is put my camera in and twist. When it's not in its aerodynamic shape, I don't have to worry about bending it because it's fabric. It's much easier to transport from home to field or on an airplane to another country. Love it!
Love it
Wait for mine
