jimmytavino 16 #2 August 6, 2003 3 ccd....... excellent video camera ( i've been jumping the VX 1000 for almost 5 years now.....) great features great image... and just a "few Hundred " dollars more than say the Canon 10D still...... Are your plans to use it for ground video,,,and as a base station to firewire freefall footage into it??? or will you skydive with it???......great piece of hardware......have fun skydive softly skydive often skydive with friends...

KawiZX900 0 #4 August 6, 2003 yup PD-150, pro version of the VX-2000 and 2nd born son of the VX-1000. difference is audio channels, & a B&W view finder and DVcam tape compatible.

newshooter12 0 #5 August 6, 2003 the two XLR inputs will come in handy in the long run, but are you going to do anything about the stock mic hanging out there in the breeze for the time being? matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'cause ya' need to have audio..... If a camera of that size is properly balanced,,, and well secured,,, it's really not that much of a deal to jump with it....Plus.. the built in handle makes it sooooooo easy to carry your helmet,, when you're not wearing it.....have fun ....I may be nuts,,,, But I am NOT friggin' nuts!!!!!. ..edited to add smiley faces... jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #11 August 8, 2003 QuoteHey Jimmy, I think you have space for a teensie little extra camera on there..... Perhaps a small wafferrr monsieur.... Actually I would like to find some space to mount an altimeter on there....... it's seems like whenever I have the cameras on,, and runnin'.... somebody is ALWAYS " looking in the lenses"...... If we are in freefall.... I'd just as soon give them a chance to get an altitude reading,,,, as well..... " When someone asks me if my helmet is heavy ( it weighs 8 pounds) ,, I often Reply,,, "it's weightless ..in freefall !! ......but at opening,,,, it's 4 G's "!!!!! jmy A 3914 upsa # 9452 Life is Enjoyable,,Freefall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
