How to pack paragliders with plastic rods in a rucksack, no pillow! (Ozone Alpina 3)

This is a short video on how I like to pack my Alpina 3. Many modern EN-C+ paragliders have long plastic rods on the extrados that need careful folding. Manufacturers recommend using a little pillow to reduce the bend radius of the folded glider. This pillow is annoying because it takes space and weight.
I share a neat simple trick that I saw some competition pilots use that alleviates the need for the pillow and creates a really safe arc for packing your glider into the rucksack. It consists of rolling the wing around the harness. If done correctly, this does not use more space than packing the wing and harness separately. The only caveat is that you need to unroll the whole thing if you need to access something in your harness, but it's not really an issue for me. I take out the hydration bag and instruments anyways.
Cheers!

I like this method and will for sure try it out. The uniformity of the complete package also makes for a smoother, final backpack! Good job thanks for the time!

This is great, but you skipped the most difficult part. I can see that you have a beautiful concertina fold, it looks like a factory fold! I can't do that. I have tried to follow the method Ozone shows in the manual but can't get it right . Can you please do another video that shows those details? BTW flying with that foam in the ballast compartment of my Delight II helped cushion my impact....

I fold mine (A 3) exactly the dame, although most often I disconnect the wing from the harness (Ozium 2). And thats how I manage to fit all the gear in my Ozone XAlps L backpack. Its a very snug fit.

I was hoping to see how to use (close) the saucisse light concertina bag - two different sets of buckles. And how you got such a nicely folded wing. & maybe a tri-pod would be helpful. Thanks.
