The golden knights had a parachute cameraman. I got some pics of his gear:

Looks like he had a canon with a 24mm f 1:2.8 with a hoya filter
The video cam appered to be a sony, you can see the record button on the back of his carbon fiber helmet. The shutter looks to be activated by a bite switch and everything is held on with gaffers tape.
Some more pics of airshow here

Fascinating.
Funny, I have the same camera combination! Maybe I should start jumping out of aeroplanes or something with all my expensive toys stuck to my head! |

Whoops, sometimes I forget the power of my cable modem :)
The guy was walking around after he landed recording video of the other guys landing, it was the best part of the show since they came like 10 feet above my head as you can see in the gallery. |
