What is the recommended number of jumps to jump with a camera?

The recommended number of jumps to jump with a camera includes having at least 200 jumps and obtaining a C license. This standard is set to ensure that a skydiver has reached a sufficient level of experience and skill before taking on the additional responsibility and complexity of filming during jumps.

Having 200 jumps allows the skydiver to develop proficiency in skydiving maneuvers, stability, and emergency procedures, which are all crucial when adding the distraction of a camera. Furthermore, obtaining the C license demonstrates that the skydiver has not only accumulated the necessary jumps but has also met additional requirements, such as performing jumps in various configurations and conditions, completing advanced training, and understanding more about safety and skill in skydiving. This combination ensures that the jumper is ready to handle both the camera and the challenges of a jump safely.

The other answer choices do not meet the criteria set by the USPA for safe camera flying. While 100 and 150 jumps suggest a foundational level of experience, they are not sufficient for the added complexity and risk that come with filming during a skydive. A minimum of 250 jumps is generally more than necessary for camera jumps and does not align with the guideline that includes a C license.
