Smart folding mechanism hidden inside full carbon body ensures enough drag during flight and compact size during transport.Ready to Fly

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

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 :)

Not cheep but the best
Had others in the past. Very cheep not well built. This one is awesome
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!
