How about the rest of you???
Can we hear about some of the equipment that has captured the beauty and grace of our sport??? any vintage equipment??? anyone ever use a VHS deck with remote helmet mounted camera body ? I've seen such a set-up but never jumped one...Never jumped with any sort of movie film camera either....

Forgive me if I appear whuffo like in regards to freefall photgraphy but is the altimeter actually a part of the assembly or just found its way on your helmet for the photo. If it is on the build, what is its purpose.

I can only guess its so people hamming it up for the cam don't forget what altitude they are at. Is this right?

Thanks! Yours curiously... Scoop

and the tandemmaster can see his altitude whitout looking at his hands

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes???
My logbook

[jimmytavino 16]

correct Scoop
and correct again gadget...I had room on the helmet,
I had a second altimeter,
I had some time..
I had an idea
That very alt. now rides on the wrist of a good friend,
who gets it "to altitude" more often than me, lately...
That helps keep it in good working order..
I shoot video on most all of my jumps and many of those are RW dives...
Many of my pals tend to stick around after seperation,, and so the Alti was there to scare 'em off...
