  1. looking to have a bright suit built for visibility, but unsure how silver works / looks in real life. thanks Craig
  2. Sounds interesting I'm hoping to come out an play. Craig
  3. skydive san diego has an active community talk to the lead rigger there. he has a high bar to let people into the club bravo for that kleggo
  4. Problem solved. Thanks Dan Thames from Arkansas. my goal is to allow spoken glide angle cues during flight. I've reviewed the flysight wiki and downloaded beta V 646-20141216 installed Flip 3.4.7 on my host PC got the flysight into the mode where it is an unrecognized device get stuck at the point where i update the driver device manager does not find the driver, see screenshot. please either reply here, PM me, or we could connect @ skydive oceanside if you are willing to assist. You can probably guess, I only know enough about PCs to get me into trouble. Thanks Craig F
  5. probably old news to computer geeks / gurus, but i found this when poking around in the control panel of windoze 7
  6. LOL Reference Brian Germain's Safety 1st on Sky Dive Radio #199. I miss ya man, we had good times. Craig F.
  7. ***Lots of reflexes - they used to call them c-flexes - with flaps on the top and bottom covering the pop top which prevents line snag. quote] Really? Show us a photo of one of those Cflex thingies....
  8. amazon advert says 1 new from $460!!!!! Terry P would be stoked!!!!!! Terry Parsons is / was an interesting guy. He was the formative member of Wrapture, our speed 8 team in the early 80s. We thought we were hot shit when we were finally able to reliably make sub 50 sec octaplanes (only vertical formations back then) on our Pegasi. Everyone jumped a Pegasus 220. Body weights ranged from 250+ to my 140. Terry taught Philosophy @ UC Irvine when he wasn't skydiving and was more thoughtful than most. We kept trying to build a 6 way side-by-side (circle) but the forces involved in anything bigger than four canopies proved to be unmanageable even when using death-straps. beers to ya Terry. Craig
  9. Great scribes girl. Was surprised to hear it was another Texas jumper other than you @ 500ft. AND Congrats on the 24 and 26 way night diamonds. Huge "balls" involved in going down that path again. I remember when we did the 25 way in Perris a long time ago how relieved we all were that it was complete, it was over and everyone was unbroken. Being the first jumper out of the trail plane and having my friends following me hoping we were going in the right direction was eerie. cheers Craig F
  10. i suspect most of us would prefer that you investigate the points already raised rather than "a small scren built in to relay weather conditions" eyes, knowledge typically obviate the need for what you suggest.
  11. Completed survey and sent you an email. cheers craig
  12. Sold to Scott L in PA. perfect transaction. good communication fast payment. Have a great time at the Nationals. Craig
  13. Thanks for the offer, (whomever you are). Craig
  14. Thanks Wendy, you're a peach! That 126 will fit in the CFlex I sold you.... just saying
  15. Bummer that Dead-Steve did in fact eventually become dead. I particularly like the story about him missing the Lockerbie flight because he had broken his leg on a BASE jump the day prior to flight departure....
  16. I posted a Lightning F/S and 5 minutes after the advert went live I seem to have a committed buyer and 2 other individuals hoping that #1 changes his mind. Craig
  17. The oh-so-busy gopro site lists the following 1920×1080 wide (170º) FOV medium (127º) FOV narrow FOV (90º) FOV #1. when shooting @ 90 or 127 FOV, that doesn't actually increase the apparent depth of field does it? I would think no, so #2. do people typically shoot @ reduced FOV's to reduce / eliminate fish-eye disctractions, i.e.; seeing your hands in the shot? Thanks Craig
  18. Thanks Spot, I'll take advantage of your offer. i see that Contour can also use apple touch for interface. i think that I have one of them in a drawer somewhere. Craig
  19. found this product in another thread http://deltagearinc.com/Kit&Tools/CameraMounts/go_pro_low_pro_mount.htm looks a bit less scary than most I've seen. Craig
  20. How do people choose between these two products? I've searched this site for comaprison threads, but missed them if the exist. I'm looking for a "simple" camera to put on top / center of a helmet. GoPro seems most popular, has many mounts, has cool LCD back to simplify aiming / after dive reviewing BUT the on-helmet mounting applications I've seen looks like awesome snag potential. Contour seems easy to mount, not so easy to aim or review video AND seems to have less snag potential I'm not a pro viddy guy. Will probably never use image editing SW. Both seem to offer similar resolution Just want to document some WS flights. My phone is a BBY, so no access to apps that control the GP or Contour. Right now I'm leaning towards Contour product despite the poularity of GP. Any comments? Cheers Craig F
