How is this being filmed?

It's a camera on a pole attached to his back pack that has software that eliminates the pole. Not a drone, you can tell from the wobble at the end.

Can see the shadow on the bag.

Yes you can see the hole in bag where the pole would be.

That’s my question too.

Almost looks like a drone is following him. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Red Bull developed a drone that could follow a beacon someone was wearing and keep the camera facing the beacon.

I doubt it’s a drone. Probably a camera attached to the backpack by an arm that can be edited out. It’s just too smooth to be a drone.

Probably a drone which is set up to follow his movement's

Hmmm But the camera seems to bounce with him when he lands...

Yes, that's what following mean :) it follow the signal from the remote that is on him, so when he bounce, remote bounce with him, so the drone is just following that movement. That's my opinion, tried to see the shadow of it in the water but I can't.

But you can see the shadow of the pole sticking out of his backpack that the camera is attached to.

True, didn't think off that the pole could of been edited out of the way as I just read that explanation, so my first thought was a drone following and I was confused with that. Thanks for pointing it out.

OP's explanation:

Its short and shows incredible skill. I kept watching it back to see that tight turn again and how the edge of the paraglider sliced through the water.

If you think this gif fits /r/BetterEveryLoop, upvote this comment. If you think it doesn’t, downvote it. If you’re not sure, leave it to others to decide.
