Most of the time I put it into the 0.5 mode after the last clip in the airplane after I attach all the hooks. I video the process (I go like all hooks are attached and count and pull on them so that the pax feels it 1,2,3,4, then I do a quick handle check and state on the video that I have checked the parachute and that it looks good, I also state that I feel great and ask the pax how he/she feels, etc.). I have memorized the number of button pushes so that I could almost do it without looking at the screen :) Depends on the pax and circumstences so in about 50% of times I also do after the opening sequence. Saves the space, batteries and time for deleting unwanted photos. But a lot of times I just leave it in the 0.5 second mode. I think you defintely need to use superview. I also used gopro 2 and then upgraded to 3+ and the difference is huge. I wouldn't say it takes more then 15 minutes for the whole process (transfering video, editing the video, rendering, deleting bad photos). Rendering time depends on multiple things: software, processor speed, gpu, input media, output media).

Some info: I have two gopro 3+ black with Pivot Pad glove. I think you definitely want to shoot video in superview (for hero+ this would be 720p and 50fps or 60fps). The slow motion in my opinion is good at 30fps slowing it down to 50% speed. More fps for handcam will just create more media and longer rendering times. This year I was making 720p videos for clients because some of them have slow computers and might complain that full hd is not working for them :) I'll probably change this to full hd this year. For photos you want the best photos you can get and that would be 12mp (I haven't seen the 5mp photos of hero+ so I might be biased). For 182 I would set it to 0.5 seconds interval because of the freefall time ;) I have it set to 1 second for everything and 0.5 for freefall. The whole photo set of the jump is about 1.2gb for me with 12mp photos and videos are 0.4gb. Some of my friends do a 2 second interval for everything except the freefall where they also do the 0.5 second interval. Less work for deleting unwanted photos :) A note for the pivot pad glove. My setup is video at the bottom and photo on the top. That is because of the superview. The top camera always records the lens cover from the bottom cam. It's barely noticeable and I think it's better if it's on the photos and not on the video. Here is a sample of the photo: https://goo.gl/photos/TCejAnxw1yky9hrQ9 Maybe the new models have fixed that. Two years ago I was told the glove was designed for hero 3 without superview. I have used the first generation of the glove and now for 2 seasons the second generation of the glove and I am very happy with it (maybe just buy some extra buttons - I loose about 2 per season). Hero 4 session looks nice and it would be great but based on reviews it can't compare to the 3+ or 4 quality of footage (don't know how it compares to hero+) so for now I would skip that. Hope it helps.

Where do you buy frap hats? Not much that I can find online. Thanks, Aljaz

You need to speak to the instructors and ask them about openings. Because only a few of our students complained and we only noticed hard openings on a few videos we blamed it on the packing. And because most of the students didn't have a clue how a normal opening should be a lot of them didn't complain and they assumed that the parachute opens hard most of the times. We tried all of the packing tricks we know of and it didn't help. We contacted Aerodyne and they have sent us replacement sliders on all canopies larger then 230. That solved the hard openings.

Yes. We have changed the sliders on all of our solo 270 because of the hard openings.

2013 change for artistic events: a High Definition 1080 type digital signal with a minimum frame rate of 25 frames per second, through a memory card (minimum class 10). same for fs events. This probably qualifies gopro in the correct mode.

Hi, There is three of us on the 29th of April that have already prepaid a SuperShuttle. Our plane lands at 13:10. It's a AIR FRANCE Flight # AF62 Flight Date/Time 4/29/2009 1:10 PM. We will be happy to share the ride and try to convince Super Shuttle to refund us the difference :) Aljaz

Hi, I am in Perris for the P3 Big Way camp and P3 100 Way from the 30th of April 2009 till 10th of May 2009. If anybody has some bulk tunnel time at bulk discount rates I would be happy to buy 4 hours. It can either be shared time or just plane time. Please send me a PM or an email to [email protected]. Thanks. Kind regards, Aljaz

Hi, I would like to invite all to the 6th Slovenian Maribor Cup 4-way at Skydive Maribor, Slovenia. More info is on the http://www.skydragons.net website. We would be very happy if the competition would be on the international level. Best regards, Aljaz

Hi, My 4-way team is planning a trip to Skydive Arizona. The plan is to be there for 14 days. We would like to fly approximately 12 coached hours in the new tunnel and do about 40-50 jumps. The emphasis is on the tunnel flying. We all have about 4 hours in the tunnel by now (The Airspeed Tunnelcamp) and have done an average of 9 at our Nationals. The goal is to go to 11. We are looking for your recommendation on who to choose. We need somebody that will take this training seriously from the day 1 to the day 14 and have a big picture of what we have to do. Please recommend somebody you have had great expirience with and if possible live a mail or number so we can contact him/her.

My team mostly jumps from Pilatus Porter (right door). We have the Arizona Airspeed CD and getting to exit C (murphy flake) I already have two questions
