Cameraman Cut-Away With Skyhook
After trying to clear tension knots on his JVX 86 and losing nearly 2,000 feet in altitude, this cameraman chops his main and – thanks to his Skyhook – has his reserve deployed in a split-second. Do you use a standard RSL, Skyhook or nothing at all… and why (or why not)? Watch Video »
