psychedelic of course.

Hmmm that could be fun. I'm thinking of adding some small stabilizing
device (cardboard fins?) next time I try this.

How was the camera mounted?

How far from the hook was it?

I'd assumed it was strapped to the rope with wing tape or similar a few
feet away from the tug's hook and that the rolling was due to the rope
twisting under tension.

I just taped the camera to the rope about 20 feet or so from the glider end
of the rope. Nothing fancy, just a whole bunch of wing tape. And yes the
twisting is from the hollowbraid rope coming under thension. Until I watched
the video I didn't realize how much it twists when you apply tension.
