Advent of action wearable cameras in air sports
“Skydiving is an adrenaline-inducing activity with many associated risks. These require great detailing for every step to ensure safety. When a skydiver decides to add a camera to its equipment list, it has potential risks of losing control leading to catastrophic results. Therefore, extra vigilance and safety measures are required,” says Brijesh Choubey, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on retail goods and services.
The market competitors are coming up with several ideas to reduce potential risks. They are designing lightweight cameras that are wearable and have less risk that does not distract the flyer. The compact size of the cameras allows pilots to fly freely and record all the experiences more easily than normal cameras. Moreover, image stabilization features like electronic image stabilization (EIS) and optical image stabilization (OIS), help in reducing shaking and jittery camera video.
Technological innovations: improved product features
“The key competitors are continuously innovating their skydiving equipment in terms of materials, weight, and quality. The demand for technologically advanced skydiving equipment from customers is constantly increasing. This is because of a rise in the complexities of natural environments and several risks associated with the sport,” adds Brijesh.
The technological innovations are based on many factors like fabric design, system engineering, mechanical design, control systems, and rigging and packing. One of the greatest innovations in skydiving equipment is automatic activation device (AAD). This is an electronic-pyrotechnic or mechanical device to automatically open the reserve parachute when the flyer is unable to open it. Another equipment in this innovative list is digital and audible altimeters.
Increasing importance of online reviews: a disruption in travel industry
