Flying notes

How the shots split.

GoPro first

Use it when the shot needs to be reliable and immediate: helmet view, hand launch, riser checks, landing field, or a quick spoken update.

360 second

Use it when you want to choose the frame later: showing wing position, terrain, horizon, other pilots, and the scale of the valley.

Keep it tidy

Any mount near lines, risers, reserve handles, speed system, or carabiners needs a boringly careful pre-flight check. Boring is good here.
