Hey all, Was bought a camera for Christmas, as I will start flying with camera this year... My girlfriend bought it for me as a complete surprise...but I've no idea if it's suitable/the right choice for the job... It's a Sony HC22E - link here :- http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.action?product=DCR-HC22E&site=odw_en_GB&pageType=Overview&category=CAM+MiniDV I've got the choice to add some money and change it if it isn't right, but I'm clueless to be honest ! (would have obviously done some research had I known) Thanks guys, Dave --- One life...Use it.

LMAO... --- One life...Use it.

Haha...I know her!...Does really nice pack jobs too! --- One life...Use it.

What about triple penetration? Can you tell about that one? Not sure about afterwards, but I'd think you'd have problems telling anyone during.... --- One life...Use it.

I had my rigger convert my Javelin from throw-out hackey to throw-out freefly pud.... I found it does take a good few jumps to get used to, even after a bit of ground practise, but the extra security of it makes me feel more comfortable. Just pull higher for a while until you get the hang of it.... --- One life...Use it.

I like shreddies....nice when they're left in the bowl with milk for a while and go almost mushy... I try to stay away from the sugar coated ones, but the crunchy-nut cornflakes are damn nice. Harvest Cruch is nice, but you have to wait an age for it to go soggy... Breakfast...best meal of the day! --- One life...Use it.

Ohmygod...all the kitten killers out there NEED to watch the clip titled "CAT FAN" (number 12 in the 'Top Rated section at the moment) --- One life...Use it.

Ok, firstly. what gives you the impression I'm out to impress anybody? - if it's the 'cool' statement in my post, then it was meant as a 'cool..that was easy and I had no problems' - not as a 'Whoa dude, look at me I'm a skydiver'. If airline/security policy allows rigs on board, why try and hide it? - by hiding it inside another bag, your almost inviting a search when it goes through security. - 'Playing nice' to me doesn't include hiding things in bags. 'Playing nice' is being honest about what you are taking on board, and having some documentation to back you up should they start to question things. You also make it sound like a wuffo vs skydiver war..ok, I've only been in the 'sport' for a year or so, but I've yet to experience any such attitude...do you expect people to be scared of you because you skydive ? --- One life...Use it.

Why try and hide it in a bag ? wear it like a backpack and the vast majority of people won't even know what it is... ..Try and hide things in a bag and I think you're going to be more liable to be stopped and have things looked at when they see it under x-ray. --- One life...Use it.

Just got back after a 10 day trip....Liverpool to Girona on Ryan air... Walked on with the rig with no problems either way...the security guys at Liverpool had a bit of a discussion between them and then decided they could let it on. Didn't even have it in a bag, just tied my reserve handle up and wore it over my shoulders...cool! --- One life...Use it.

We once put a load of maggots in a guys car (under the drivers seat) - It was a warm summer, so they should have hatched pretty quickly....wish I'd seen his face when his car was covered in flies... The only problem with a prank like that is that we never actually got to see the results --- One life...Use it.

I'm heading out this weekend with Ryanair...got an email saying they've increased the hand-baggage limit to 10kg (was7kg) Gonna try and carry it on this time...fingers crossed! --- One life...Use it.

I hope you don't mean Atkins and Body for Life there ! One is the right way, the other one isn't! I'm with AggieDave on this one! Understanding metabolism isn't rocket science, and eating that little food isn't gonna do much apart from starve your body --- One life...Use it.

ROFLMAO !! - I really need to google for the rest of the rolodex tips now! Doh...I should read the whole thread before replying - there's some funny (and nasty) stuff in there! --- One life...Use it.

So you're saying it should be right then left for a Javelin ? (just to clear this up, as there's been some discussion about Wings in this thread) --- One life...Use it.
