riser slap? Camera Box
I currently use a Rawa with camera box when skydiving, would this be a problem or no in base. Would it be best to just use a top mount. Thanks guys

I've seen a couple side mounts cleaned off by riser strikes. Lots of people use them, but I'd still go with a top mount.

I have used my FF2 on several jumps and every time had riser strike that caused my camera all the way from turning off to now only records with red background.
Switched to top mount recently (ROK) and it works beautifully.
