boyd38off 0 #9 May 22, 2008 nah - no photoshop. 50 feet of electroluminescent cable. We also had some pyrotechnics for the flight, but they failed. If you guys think THAT's gay, then how about flying the wingsuits off a futon?? I know...

But I have to say you used a really bright model or you used a long exposure -- most battery powered EL cables I have seen aren't that bright, but definitely TRON. How did you power the EL cables so brightly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeemax 0 #13 May 23, 2008 I have lots of battery powered sets like that, and they're all as bright, if not brighter. I think it's down to the brand that you have - damn i sounds geeky on neon products... Anyhow, looking at the sky would suggest a slightly longer exposure too, which would have helped a bit.Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #16 May 23, 2008 QuoteI have lots of battery powered sets like that, and they're all as bright, if not brighter. I got me glowsticks for my night jumps, they were fun to hand out. You can bulk buy 1000 glowsticks $39.99 from eBay -- yes 4 cents per glowstick. But I think EL cables are tons of fun, sci-fi and TRON like. I guess the technology of battery powered EL cables have improved since the last time. A concern: Risks of entanglement, such as pulling a PC under a cable. It does heighten the risk of a jump, especially with the wind flapping the EL cable a little. But the EL cable I've seen is somewhat thin and fragile enough to be snapped by the forces of a PC. Fun though, if cable was stitched or installed properly. How tough was this particular EL cable, anyway? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #17 May 23, 2008 That is very cool. How bad did the light that they put off affect your night vision?"The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buffdiver 0 #18 May 23, 2008 I was on the flock with the guys playing video guy. The lights did not effect our night vision because you could turn on/off the lights from the power source (9V battery). I got some pretty cool footage from the flight of JVH1727. Its all on his camera and they are in Twin Falls right now. I'll get it posted as soon as they return. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
