Couple of jumps filmed by a buddy on the ground underneath the bridge we jump from.
Video at bottom of post.
The first thing you'll notice when watching from the ground is how slow people fall, and the second thing is the loud 'Crack' of the canopy opening, it's loud. This bridge is between a valley, so it echoes also.
The camera doesn't really do the sound any justice, you have to be there to really experience it. It's one of my favourite sounds and is very different from hearing a sky diving canopy open.
You can hear the conversations people are having on the bridge also, provided there is no traffic.
For filming purposes I think it's the best view, more so on an object such as a low cliff as you have something relative to the jumper so you can see a nice shadow and watch them build up speed.
When your BASE jumping with mates you don't always get this shot as once you land you wanna get your gear into the stash bag as soon as possible, as oppose to trying to get your camera out in time to film the next jumper. So ideally you need a non jumper to help 'ground CReW' for you and they can take the outside video.
In this video I take a 1 second freefall delay going hand-held, then I do a 2-way with Gary. I go static line, which is why I open almost instantly and Gary does a side float exit with a 1 - 1.5 sec delay.

THIS IS NOT AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO, I AM NOT A BASE JUMPING INSTRUCTOR. IT IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT GO AND STAND UNDERNEATH BASE JUMPERS BECAUSE YOU SAW MY POST. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
IF A GOPRO CAMERA OR A HELMET WAS TO FALL AND HIT YOU, IT COULD KILL YOU. IT CAN ALSO BE OFF PUTTING, THEREFORE PUTTING THE JUMPER'S LIFE AT RISK.

I just noticed that my pilot chute gets pulled to the left and gives me a little off-heading
