The website is www.egskysuit.com

I have four of them, 2 RW, 1 freefly, 1 camera suit with wings. Also 1 FF pants. Being using his suits for the last 8 years.
Good price, solid construction.
His website looks funny, but it's because English is not his native language. He's located in NJ just outside NY City.
Yes, I will buy again from him without hesitation.

EG is a great guy. FWIW English is not his native language. So yes, he's ads are funny to read.

Having said that. I do have 4 of his suits, 2 RWs, one camera, and one FF.

Have been using them for years (since 2004). They are very well manufactured, and after years of use,they are still in very good shape. Never had issues with the quality.

Yes, I will buy again from him without hesitation.

You have several options:

Skydive West Point About 2:30 hours

Skydive Orange About 1:45 hours

Chambesburg Skydiving Center About 2:30 hours

All good places

All the DZs mentionned are good choices. I've been to all of them and liked them.

FWIW, if you are around for this weekend, WP is having their Halloween boogie from Fri 29th to Sun 31st, and will be flying a CASA.

Try them all if you have a chance :-)

I have the CX110. It is the same camera. The only difference is:
The CX110 does not have internal memory.
The CX150 DOES have internal memory.

FWIW I am happy with it

You can't as there is no threads for a lens. I guess you can always "fix" one but I am too lazy for that. I jumped the SX44 and it works just fine. If it weren't for the lack of wide angle it would be just a great alternative price wise.

The only SD cam that accepts a wide angle lens (30mm) is the DCR-SX83, but for the price difference (around $50 USD) you can go HD with the CX110

All in all, my wife is happy to get her camera back

Also a new camcorder in the line up...SX44

It is SD only, but I find myself shooting in SD most of the time anyways and it's half the price of the CX100.

It also will take SDHC along with MS Pro Duo cards Whats the world coming too? Sony is using a non-proprietary format Now, why doesn't the CX110 and CX150 have this feature?

I bought the DCR-SX44 for my wife. Seems to have the EIS image stabiliszation. I'll jump it one of these days and see how it fares. Could be a decent alternative for shooting vid in standard def.

TI gets whipped by hair

So when shooting in TV mode, which AF setting would be more appropiate?
I have an XSI with the 18-55 EF-S kit lens

One shot, AI Focus AF or AI Servo AF?

Thanks

I remember in late 70's or early 80's a guy with similar issue's...he was a young guy, stock broker of some type, successful, he got tired of asking so one weekend he gets there early and proceedes to buy the 1st 6 loads,,,the smile on his face was priceless as he climbed aboard solo while all the hot jumpers sat on the ground and waited,,don't think they jumped till noon,,ha ha I was a student with about 10 jumps and i remember thinking," this is going to be a fun sport " He got everybodys attention and curiousity,,never had problems getting to get people to jump with him after that

Awesome

To the OP, that's very unfortunate. And yes, it does happen, I've seen it at various DZs As suggested, try another DZ.

Yup, here's a thread from a while ago, Mirage pics

Ditto, I'm a fan of "Oldies"

1. so far haven't heard of any problems besides the oldfashioned "is my camera recording" I got a few times, no lanc is a pain for now

Here's an alternative for the cameras without a Lan-C port.

HYPEYE D PRO

First I've heard off, saw an add in Parachutist and Skydiving Mag

You never know D. It's worth a try

I agree. William is very god, very thorough. He's by EastFalls Church on the Orange line.

contact bubaskydiver he lives and jumps in Argentina.

Awsome! Looking forward to see the CSS gang again.

Update, Nick Rugai will attend the boogie as well and will be available to intsruct new wingsuters and experienced ones alike. This will be next weekend 29-30 Sept 2007 at Skydive Virginia

That's so wrong Dude!!!

Also Nick Rugai will come with EG and will be available for 1st wingsuits jumps instruction. Birds will flock again over Louisa

Rather than a camera suit, you could consider a suit with swoop chords. Basically it gives you kind of a mini wing between the mid upper arm to under the armpit when you pull on the chords. That would be a more suitable solution than a camera suit.

Yes we use an SOS system. Our program is 2 tandems jumps then AFF.

Hi Scott,

Glad to hear things are going well for the two brothers. Just a little clarification, I haven't heard from Nick but from EG himself. Sorry to hear you can't come this year, we are going to miss you big time.

Cheers

Hello to all,

EG confirmed his attendance at the MOTUS Boogie, Sept 29-30 at Skydive Virginia. He will bring his wing suits for those interested in trying them.

Orlando is indeed at St Francis.
According to his family, he is still in coma. His brother Noel and family are rotating to have always someone at St Francis. He will certainly appreciate support from the local community, even if it is only prayers/vibes.
You can contact him here Noel Amador
