Evolution

Our ChaseCam has grown into the next stage - Chase XC, the first truly foldable chasecam! Pros of our original product stay and cons are gone. There are no compromises anymore. Smart folding mechanism hidden inside full carbon body ensures enough drag during flight and compact size during transport.

Ready to Fly

It is always prepared to fly, just rotate the tail to unfold the wings. There is no assembly or balancing required, Chase XC comes ready to fly out of box.

Foldable

An umbrella style folding system makes Chase XC very practical and easy to carry around. No more hassle or damage during transport.

Camera Protection

Unlike other products on the market, our Chase XC gives you full protection for your beloved camera. Ready for harsh landings and impacts, shelters your camera from damage.

Safety

Flexible rope not only creates smoother footage, but also work as a security element in case when the Chase XC accidentally tangles into lines after massive collapse or during rough exit from the acrobatic figure. Bungee rope won’t affect glider’s geometry thanks to its flexibility. Tension fuse will break in case of getting stuck during proximity flying, but safely holds Chase XC in any possible speed (tested up to 200 kph).

Premium Material

Every part is made with extreme attention to detail. From the full carbon fiber reinforced camera body and folding mechanism driven by industrial grade nylon screw, up to wings made of ripstop honeycomb fabric, light as a feather, fitted on ultra light and durable carbon rods.

For Every Pilot

Versatile for any needs, from low flying PPG pilots, smooth recreational flyers, adrenaline-seeking content creators, up to Hike&Fly enthusiasts. Designed for pilots by pilots.

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 :)
