freeflyit 0 #1 May 14, 2009 Hi Everyone. I am strongly considering purchasing a video setup. Just a helmet, bracket/box, and a side camera. Before I ask, I just want to say that I'm not planning on jumping camera tomorow. I will wait until I at least have 200 jumps and a 'B' CSPA licence before I proceed. However, I plan to reach that point soon. So as it stands, all I know is that I want a camera system with a side mount/small top mount for entry level flyer. Right now, I know very little about how to get the proper set-up and am basically like a retarded gorilla waiting to get a****cked. Would someone please explain to me what are ropes? What do I need to look for in terms of equipment? I know I said 'entry level' but I don't want crappy quality video. I'm on a budget so I can't buy the best...I'm aiming for $1000 used complete setup. Thanks, any response is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 0 #2 May 14, 2009 Topmount is safer for both you, your neck and your camera. You want a video system to start with, don't even think about adding stills. Right now, a CX105/CX100 + raynox HD3032 lens is the camera to have. Most any open-faced camera helmet that fits you, has a cutaway system, has room for an audible and has (the possibility of) a quickrelease and/or camerabox for the CX100 on top will do. The CX100/105 is a great little camera, good quality video for everything aside from in the dark (ie, BASE type stuff). ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
