lifewithoutanet 0 #3 August 16, 2006 If you're talking about a pack job, hopefully Spacey Tracy will chime in. He uses this method for one of his rigs. -C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyh 0 #4 August 17, 2006 All I can say is that I recently saw a very experienced freefall cinematographer using this method in Norway. I believe he was using it to slow down his openings cuz he was jumping some pretty big cameras. Don't know the details of the pack job or who started doing it first, but it did seem to be effective.

base283 0 #6 August 17, 2006 I'll try to get some photos later of the Omega folds if you are interested. I'm not a clamper but it would be clamper friendly. I like it because for me it: a. Gives big access to the nose to speed up the opening or slow it down. b. Gives a lot of "control access points" when folding. c. Fills the tapered BASE rigs better by being tapered (important on Velcro rigs). take care, space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base736 0 #8 August 28, 2006 Nice! I'd love to see pics from the side on a S/L jump -- it looks like this packjob might avoid the angular momentum issues I've seen with the more traditional packjob... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
