  1. Thanks Doug. Hypoxic got back to me and I have a Hypeye Alpha on its way :-)
  2. I am currently using an HDR CX410 with hypeye. Are there any 4K cameras that work with a hypeye. I had a look at the FDR AX53 but it didn't work. Please help!!
  3. Cheers for the info,dude. Such a shame. The ax100 looks awesome. However, I'm worried the uploading and editing would take too long as I'm very restricted on time for tandem vids. God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  4. Someone must have made and adapter plug for a hypeye,no? God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  5. Hi folks, Please can someone advise me on oxygen requirements when jumping from 19,000ft/6,000m. Is oxygen required in free fall? If so, what set ups are available? Cheers, Matt God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  6. Hi folks, Has anyone heard of a Precision TM364 tandem canopy? I need to get a lineset for one. It doesn't seem to be made by Precision Aerodynamics... at least it's not on their website. Please could someone shed some light on the subject. God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  7. Hi, Does anyone have any info on the above camera(for use in skydiving)?All I know is that Cookie makes a box for it. Cheers Matt . God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  8. I totally agree.The 10-22 rocks.I'm going to buy another one just for the hell of it . God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  9. Germano Alvares Da Silva. You will be sorely missed by everyone at Hinton. Fly free, mate. God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  10. It's 18 months to the day since Anna,my gorgeous girlfriend, was cruelly taken from everyone who loved her.Miss you,babe.Fly free.
  11. Thanks for the offer,Gary.Maybe one day!Whereabouts are you? God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  12. Cheers mate.Hope everything's cool with you,too.Are you still in Oz?You bastard...it's summer out there!!I'm jealous! God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  13. I'm not giving up now!I know there are lots of other decent rigs out there.I thought about the V3 and G4 but can't justify the extra money.(Plus,recently,the finishing quality on the V3 has deteriorated) I've waited 14 months,which I know is unacceptable,but,like I said,it's the container I want,so I'm seeing it through to the bitter end.

  14. Dude,where are you jumping????£20 rig hire is a lot.It's £10 at Hinton including a pack job. Just try not to think about the rig.It's crap weather anyway this time of year so you won't be jumping as much. At the end of the day,it's up to you,but,I'd stick with PdF.In my opinion,it's the best rig on the market in its price range.

  15. Chill!3-4 months is nothing for PdF.I placed my order for a Legend R in November 05 (yes,you read it right!) and I'm still waiting!Not happy about it,but it's the rig I want. The problem happened when they moved the factory from Mauritius to South Africa.Still no excuse,I know. Apparently,a shipment of rigs has arrived in France.Hopefully,mine's in there somewhere.If not,there's another lot coming in next month.However,if you ordered when they offered the free main deal,yours will not be ready until April at the earliest.Otherwise it'll be August,apparently.They took 500 complete rig orders when they offered the free main.Also,communication is crap within PdF.Head office struggle to communicate with the factory. All I can say is hang in there.At least you haven't been waiting 14 months!!!! I know,I must be mad! Good luck .

  16. If you're talking French canopies,then I'd add the BT65...or any of the BT range! God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  17. Hey K2,how's it going? I bought 2 extra cameras of the same model to use as spares,so that should keep me going for a while!(Or at least until this HD stuff is sorted. God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  18. Just upgraded from a 350D to a 400D.I am using a combination of Sandisk Ultra 2 and Extreme 3 cards.With the 350 there was no buffering time at all,but with the 400 the most I can continually fire is 27 frames and I get a relatively long buffer time.Has anyone tried the 266mhz cards?Is the buffering time any shorter?

  19. DZ Sports should have them in stock God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  20. Go for the xfire.Done about 100 on mine and can't fault it.Spectres max at 1.6 wingloading,so that might not be enough for you.Saying that,I've had 2 spectres,and they're good too.I prefer the xfire,though.Gorgeous openings,fun to fly,very light rear riser pressure for those deep spots.

  21. I'm after the most popular BASE websites for UK basejumping.Please help! Ta God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  22. Dunno.Maybe the delivery pigeons keep getting shot??? God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  23. I'm a dealer for them in the UK.All ours arrive in 6 weeks.Funky paint jobs may take a bit longer though . God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
  24. If you're not going to use a wide angle lens make sure the camera is sighted up very accurately.You'll also need to learn to keep your head on target and look around only using your eyes.Ensure the camera is zoomed out fully and tape up any buttons/switches to prevent a camera mal.(It's easy to accidentally zoom in when fitting your camera to the helmet) Jumping without a w/a lens has certain advantages but if you want to get close then I'd suggest getting a w/a lens otherwise you'll feel like you're doing a solo because you've got to sit so much further back. How about you go out and do a load more jumps with a camera on your head and experiment a load more too? . God gave men 2 brains,but only enough blood to fill one at a time....I can live with that.
