  1. well, I think you have one problem now, and will have another one later. If your laptop doesn't have a firewire conection, even if you use a firewire / usb adapter, you will have problems. the adapter is only for the plug, but the speed is the usb speed, the transfer rate is the one from an usb conection. So you have a usb conection. And usb is not suitable for video. ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  2. The Rio de Janeiro Skydiving Club / School is formed by highly experienced instructors, accredited by the Brazilian Parachute Confederation (CBPq) and with sports and military training. All are high-performance athletes in world-class competitions. Its main mission is to encourage sports through the transformation of their practice into a lifestyle, developing self-esteem, self-confidence, self-determination and, consequently, the achievement of their students through a personalized service. Parquedismo Rio de Janeiro promotes well-being to the people, working step-by-step all the indispensable requirements for its evolution inside and outside the sport, through a greater integration with the community of parachutists. The equipment is imported and carefully targeted for each type of jump. The strict maintenance is carried out by qualified professionals for this purpose, approved by CBPq. Parachuting, contrary to what many imagine, stimulates the socialization of the individual and develops his consciousness, focus, motivation, positivity and balance. Through it, you can learn to get calm under pressure or risky activities, as well as seek self-restraint and self-control. The Club / School is located at the Aeródromo de Resende-RJ, 150km from Rio de Janeiro: the largest jump area in the State! And that currently operates with a Cesna Caravan aircraft with capacity for 14 athletes, rising to about 4,000 meters high.

  4. I'd like to buy a hand cam glove, and after searching in the forum, I found only 3 places: riggerrob, waycool and cookie composites. Is there any other place? I know some people built their own glove, but I don't have that ability. Thanks ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

    Skydive In Rio

    Skydive in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. We have tandem jumps, courses and aerial video and stills.
  6. Well... Let´s try some things here: 1) if u can copy the DVD to the computer, try to reencode and mount the DVD, but remember that mpeg2 compression is destructive, so if this works your image will be worse than the one in the DVD; 2) if the DVD wasn't closed, this means that the datas like headers, b-trees and others aren´t recorded in the disc, so the computer can't see them. You have one option. Try some unerase software. This software will recover the 'lost' datas, this means, your files, or at least some of them. Good Luck ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  7. If the tandem system has four hook-up points, I think that we could jump with 4 students at the same time. Great Idea, tomorrow I’ll do that. c ya ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  8. i also fly a sabre, 170. my setup is a video top mounted n a still front mounted. i watch the D-bag go up and then i look at the horizon and try to control the opening with my hips. . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  9. what's the price if we want to jump less than 25 times? thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  10. during the opening, when you sit up, it's also a good moment to pay attention to any twist, so you can fix it with your hip before it increases. . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  11. Hi all I'm going to Algarve. I don't know there and I'm looking for really cheap places to stay. Does anyone suggest anything? Or would like to share an apartment? Any idea? thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  12. Hi docjohn, The resolution of the video is 72 dpi, if you give them photos from the video, you're giving them pictures with only 72 dpi. I'm right? How do you do? thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  13. How do you charge? (It's not how much). Here, when de passenger arrives, he decides if he wants video/photo. If yes, we go there and jump with him/her. If not, we don't go. As I've read here, I think that in some DZ the camera goes anyway and then later shows the work. Is that? How do you do? You tell the pax that you'll be there and he can decide later if he wants the shoots? I'm a terrible salesman... thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  14. I don't have my IRM with me, and the online version is incomplete What is the IRM? And where do I get it? thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  15. I had an idea. The passenger can choose between a roll of film or something like 20 digital shots. If he/she wants more shots, they pay for the extra shots you are going to give them. We take a lot of pictures and they choose 20. What do you think? ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  16. i see a lot of guys here jump with a digital still camera. i'm thinking about using one. In Brazil we charge a specific value for a video and still photo jump. After the jump we just give the passenger the roll of the film, and the passenger develops it. We usually don't even see how the pictures were... Do you do the same in your country? And what do you do when you shoot digital stills? How many pics do you give to the passenger? Before the jump you say how many he/she can choose? Or does the passenger doesn't pay for the stills and later you show him/her? thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  17. I like the Corel Draw . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  18. seminars? Hei, is it possible to post here, or post a link, to the speach? thanks . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  19. is anyone going to Algarve by Xmass? I wouldn't like to spend much money to sleep, so if you have any suggestion, please, let me know. thanks ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  20. AndyMan, let's go step by step. - overexposed and underexposed areas: check where exactly your camera measures the light. With that measure, the camera will choose the aperture for you. - Out of focus pic – did you shoot in auto or manual focus? If you are using manual focus, probably the image is out of focus because it wasn’t anymore inside the limit you have set. - aperture and depth of field: larger aperture means smaller depth of field, that’s right, but when you use a wide angle lens, this doesn’t function, you’ll always have a bigger depth of field. For example: a 20mm lens with an aperture of f4 has a bigger depth of field than a 50mm lens with the same aperture. - And another thing: the depth of field is not de same before the subject (between it and the camera) and after it. Usually it is 1/3 before and 2/3 after. . ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  21. I was thinking about the possible emergencies that the cameramen have to deal with. It’s important for everybody that is beginning, and also for the experienced cameramen. Those are the points I remember. Please add more: - the loop of the wing has to be over the altimeter strap; - helmets without sharp angles; - helmets that you can easily take off, with one hand; - do not use the RSL (steven’s); - be careful with the wing when deploying; - always deploy stable (even when using the reserve); - debris that can came from the formation; - sudden openings of the main or reserve; what else?

  22. if u r going to use inside n outside skydiving, why don't you think about using a connection, so u can toggle it from hand to mouth switch? ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  23. well, about the printer, what I can say is that if you are going to print a large number of pics, it's better to use a HP, if not, an Epson. ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
  24. another one, this during a 2-way. suddenly the head of one of the skydivers began to shake. In the next second the helmet and the goggles were flying near me. ___________________ salsicha - shaggy www.skydiveinrio.com Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
