Paul Anthem's video: A Quick Frontal tuck from the Wings Point of View

@A Quick Frontal "tuck" from the Wings Point of View
I duct-taped the GoPro camera to the underside of my paraglider wing about 2/3 of the way towards the right tip. As soon as I was up flying I felt the wing wanting to turn to the right. How can that little camera be doing that? Then I realized that the right side of my wing didn't feel pressurized-- the right brake felt mooshy ("mooshy" is a highly technical term in paragliding). I ignored it and decided to "swing the wing" around a little. I could FEEL that something was wrong and sure enough, as soon as I was side-ways I felt a big "bump" as the right front of the wing tucked under for just a second. It was a non-event really but it IS curious how that little bit of camera could effect my wing. It definitely disturbed the airflow of the airfoil profile for that portion of the wing.
