Brendan Swain is an experienced skydiver who has represented New Zealand at two Parachuting World Championships.
Swain has been jumping out of planes for 35 years. "I've done close to 5000 skydives."
Last week he was competing at the World Parachuting Championships in Australia.
A builder by day, Swain was the videographer for the four-way team. In the competition, the teams compete over 10 rounds.
In each round the teams must complete the same sequence of formations over and over as many times as they can in 35 seconds.
Each round has a different designated sequence which all the teams must do. The teams get a point for every formation they do.
The 64-year-old's role is to stay above his team and record their formations.
"That's solely how it's judged, from the footage. If I muck up they don't score."
As soon as he lands, he heads over to the download tent and hands over the memory card.
He has two GoPros and a third camera attached to his helmet, to make sure he captures the action from the moment he leaves the plane at 10,500 feet.
In the Gold Coast the New Zealand team didn't challenge the top teams, finishing in 17th.
"We did break the New Zealand record, we got 21 formations. The previous New Zealand record was 18, which had been standing since the year 2000."
He was the videographer for that record, just as he was the videographer at his only other world championships appearance 25 years ago in 1993.
Swain said the team hadn't trained much, due to money and work constraints and were up against military teams from places such as the United States and Belgium.
The team had to win the New Zealand nationals in March to be eligible to attend.
"We're not really competitive worldwide, but individually we've got a lot of experience."
Swain did his first jump in 1983 and said it is still a thrill.
"The terror and the fear is down to enjoyment and respect. It's a safe sport if you stay in the boundaries. Don't get complacent, that's the thing."
Every skydiver always has two parachutes - a main parachute and a reserve parachute.
Swain said he's only had to pull his reserve parachute four times. "That's not too bad."
