nigel99 151 #1 January 5, 2012 I have finally put together ALL of the equipment that I wanted as personal gear for jumping. Can't wait to arrive in my new home and to get using it now. Teardrop container, 170 Tempo Reserve, Sabre 170 and Vigil - whole system 10 years old but with less than 100 jumps on itFF1 helmet with cutaway and chin-cup for when the obligatory Go-pro is added. Solo 2 audible, wrist mounted Viso 2 digital and chest pillow Galaxy altimeters. Two visible alti's because while I like some of what a digital offers, I don't fully trust electronics and software (I design the stuff - I know how much can go wrong). Regardless I am happy as Larry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 0 #7 January 6, 2012 Quote Congrats I despise go pros. A snag waiting to happen in my opinion. Lots of young jumpers without the necessary experience and skill to fly camera get one because they can. No sir, I don't like 'em. But to each their own.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to agree with you. I don't think many people put proper consideration in. You will see that I have a cutaway system on my helmet. When I get a GoPro snag hazards will be appropriately considered and dealt with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
