We do the Chicken Dance

Count me in! It's supposed to be in the sixties tomorrow so combined with the "$15 to 15,000' by 8 a.m." deal where you also get $1 off the rest of your jumps for the day it sounds great!

Maybe USPA has info on this?

alright flow how come I cannot view your video and just get a bunch o junk?

nene-my 109 has the same error code and focusing problems. This is the 5th instance I've heard of 109's with this and now it's my turn...grrrrrrr. Maybe it's not that great a camera for freefall? Since I have no insurance on it maybe the money is better spent on an PC1000....hmmm

A videographer at our dz had the same error on his 109 and sent it to a Sony repair center. They wouldn't tell him what was wrong just that they were charging his credit card $285. Last weekend it showed up on my 109 but when I got home the error message was gone???? Now I'm worried it will mess up on a customer's vid...grrr.....

Your video looked great to me! Making more could only be a good thing.

Just a note to relate my experience...I actually had dropped my almost new Digitude while getting into my truck. The timing was perfect and it was crushed in the door. I sent it back to them expecting to have to pay for a new replacement or at least a substantial repair fee. The amazing thing is they sent me a brand new one no charge! Consequently I am forever a fan and tell my fellow jumpers whenever I get the chance.

speaking of Stroboframes...B & H is out of them and I need two. Who is the next best option?Quote

Was wondering if anyone has thoughts, or better yet, expreience jumping with a DVD camcorder? Do they work if not used in an enclosed case?

Do many people shoot video-for-hire with vertically mounted still cameras as shown on Rim's website? Seems like it would be a very good setup in order to keep things compact on your helmet but maybe not quite optimal for picture results....thoughts?

Just wanted to share a positive about getting used to rear risers. I regularly use them when landing but finish with toggles. Busy day at the DZ so I had a relatively newbie packer pack for me. After deploying my Velocity after an AFF jump I was slammed so hard I found myself with broken steering lines and a damaged slider. After doing steerabilty and flaring practices I elected to land with rear risers and it came off uneventfully. (changed back to my regular packer immediately!)

Thanx again! I'm ordering an Illusion tomorrow then

Are you still happy with your 350? Is there an appreciable difference between the video quality of your 101 and the 350?

Good point, thanx. What are your thoughts on construction/comfort/utility comparisons?
