Photo & Video of your Tandem Flight
After your paragliding tandem flight the tandem pilot copies your beautiful memories – photo and video – straight onto your own mobile phone. With VIP-paragliding this is always included! Our prices are always including photo and video. Our standard camera is a GoPro HD action camera mounted on a 114 centimeter selfie stick, but we can use the fantastic Insta360 too!
Above you see some of the beautiful images we take during each flight. Of course on a cloudy day the images might be a little grey. We either have video running or self release photo. When we copy the images to your phone (anywhere between 20 and 100 photos) you get about 50% very good photo’s and 50% you may delete because they are doubles or simply not as nice as the other ones.
The video you get on your phone is raw. Usually you get 3 video’s: 1,5 minute of the start; 1,5 minutes in the middle of the flight (when we do a rollercoaster for instance – or when we reach the clouds up high) and 1,5 minutes of your landing. You would need to edit it to turn it into shorter snappier clips for social media. If – like in the video above – you have some footage from friends standing at the start or the landing, you can of course combine it and create a beautiful video of your experience.
At the start and landing you hold the camera. Only with somewhat difficult starting conditions (heavy passenger and/or very low wind) we may skip the start video. Each pilot will decide that for himself or herself. Safety first! In the middle of the flight the pilot will hold the camera and at the landing you will hold the camera again.
IIt used to be that passengers pay extra for photo and video after the flight. Back in the old days they even got a photo roll to develop for it. Later they got an SD card with there images. Then came the mobile phones with large storage and we could copy to your phone. Pilots were still charging for the photo’s. VIP-PARAGLIDING decided to always include GoPro photo and video in the base price. We try to minimise the distraction of making the images during the flight. Especially during start and landing you will not even notice the camera in your own hand, because it’s so exciting. If you really don’t like a camera present we are happy to make your flight even more “meditative”, however the price remains the same.
How about the rights to the images of your flight?
All photo and video made during the tandem flight by VIP-paragliding.com, on which you are clearly recognisable, belongs automatically and completely to you. You may publish these on social media without asking and without restriction even if the pilot is recognisable. VIP-paragliding maintains the right to use all images on which you are not recognisable without asking and without restriction. We will always ask you personally for the right to publish images on which you are recognisable, before doing so. We will ask you via telephone, WhatsApp or e-mail or we will ask you to tick off the box on the ticket with which you grant VIP-paragliding.com the right to use the images freely.
If you nonetheless see an image of you anywhere on our website or in our promotional activities, that you would like to have removed, please write us an e-mail to info @ vip-paragliding.com. PS Also see our privacy statement (EU).
VIP-PARAGLIDING is the only paragliding company that offers you the possibility (for free) to use your own high quality mobile phone camera during the flight. We have a special ultra strong leash, with which we secure your expensive phone, so you can take it and shout some footage without any worries. No other company (insofar as we know) offers you this option. This service is especially valuable when you can make nice zoom images of another tandem or an eagle flying by or looking down to Zell am See etc..
Nowadays there is something even more exciting to keep the memory of your flight. It’s called Insta360. Read all about it by clicking below!
