camera protection

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

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).

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 :)

Brilliant new design

Really pleased with this - massive improvement on the original - lighter, more durable, elegant and delivers great results with a GpPro 360:<br /> https://youtu.be/KHHaXbjDcsA<br /> Thank you!<br /> Ben from Sussex

Works really well for its purpose - just that the GoPro case cracked for me

The GoPro case cracked at two points in it's lamination - I guess from the 3D printing process. I think I have it glued back together well enough to keep using though.<br /> <br /> As for its function, I love it! Easy to store, easy to prepare for flight, great way to capture video!

Chasecam XC A perfect Upgrade

I have been using the original, chasecam and the XC is just the perfect upgrade. The portability and ease of use, make it a pleasure to use. The chasecam fits perfectly in my backpack and is ready in a couple of minutes. Loving it.

Great products but shipping is to expensive

the product works great, but I have paid 30 Euro for shipping which said that taxes are included, and I also received another invoice from DHL for 28.95 CHF for taxes...<br /> So almost a 60 Euro shipping is a little bit to much

Reply from SkyBean:
Not fair to blame product for your country's geopolitical decision.<br /> Need to mention that Switzerland is outside of EU, so we sell products without VAT = 20% lower price than to EU. Other EU customers must pay 20% tax more. So you didn't payed VAT to EU, but to your country what seems to be fair. EU customers pay 132€, what is 22€ more than you and also have to pay 13€ for shipping.<br /> Shipping costs are high, but again - As Switzerland is outside of EU, DHL charge us the price like to Japan of Columbia. Even US shipping is cheaper. But this comes from DHL pricing and from decision of Swiss citizens stay outside of EU.
