Hey everyone, This article is already 2 months old: http://cinescopophilia.com/cmosis-its-4k-12-megapixel300-fps-cmos-image-sensor-cmv12000/ but it talks about a new CMOSIS 4k sensor, which could fit in Blackmagic sized camera. So if anyone had an eye on the Blackmagic and can wait a little bit more, say June 2014, then wait a little bit more.. I'm sure there will be more and more competitors in the 4k range, it's just getting started. Really looking forward to it (and how we can streamline the postproduction workflow for our skydiving needs ;)). Cheers, Max

New action cam model from Sony , AS100V
Maxx replied to padraigbrowne's topic in Photography and Video
Sounds cool, I want to see some raw footage of it and how the picture quality is better than a GoPro3+. GoPro's 1080p60 mode has about 30 Mbit/s bitrate. So if the X-AVCS compression isn't total crap this should outperform the GoPro easily -
Incredible background Story about the new Pirelli film "Stunts". Make sure you watch the making-of as well! http://sourceecreative.com/news-or-feature-story.php?type=news&ID=8358 Here is the finished spot: http://online.sourceecreative.com/4DACTION/Web_Email_Details/ON/505049495256485149524850

Can I you get that with a skyhook? You mean it should automatically release the panties while the bra falls down?
-
Cool! He even kept all his 4 (?) handles after deploying.. Really interesting watch! I suppose his visor fogged up and he was fiddling a lot with it the whole descend..

DSE, do you have a link with specs of the Samsung chip?

Is it already confirmed, that GoPro will use the Ambarella A9?

Czech federal aviation administration bans swooping as a sport
Maxx replied to Maxx's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Here is a longer article which states, that they ban ALL swooping jumps: http://prag-aktuell.cz/nachrichten/canopy-piloting-drei-monaten-vier-tote-fallschirmspringer-tschechien-25092013-2480 -
Czech federal aviation administration bans swooping as a sport
Maxx replied to Maxx's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
http://prag-aktuell.cz/video/tschechisches-luftfahrtamt-stoppt-swooping-canopy-piloting/25092013-2481 According to this article the czech federal aviation administration bans swooping completly in the Czech Republic because of the recent 4 fatalities in only 3 months. I can only find one in the Incidents forum, maybe someone who is familar with the situation can chime in here? I didn't know that the aviation administration rules over such things. Is there no skydiving association in the Czech Republic who deals with this? -
Possible, but not adviseable.. I did it on a long skislope, which was in the end not steep enough to keep it flying for long.. Ran my ass off, hovered a bit and came down again.. Was a good workout, though!

Where is this happening exactly? BEX? Seems like I should seriously consider moving to Noville

http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/20/4637602/garmin-virb-virb-elite-rugged-action-gps-camera http://gizmodo.com/garmins-virb-action-camera-is-loaded-for-a-price-1170890425 Original announcement: http://garmin.blogs.com/pr/2013/08/garmin-enters-the-action-camera-market-with-compact-waterproof-easy-to-use-hd-cameras-virb-and-virb-.html#.UhOFL2RHAVQ Here is the demovideo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6CGI3XkAiQ Doesn't look like it has the same video quality like the GoPro 3. Video looks a little bit jittery (probably the digital stabilisation), the dynamic range is not as good as a GoPro. So I don't think this is a GoPro Killer, but maybe a nice alternative for some people who like the formfactor and the GPS feature.

Yes, Go Jump in Berlin offers the jump flatrate: 3999€ = jump your ass off the whole year. They have so much tandems there the whole week, I think you could do 1000 jumps there in 6 months, if you are fit enough

I would like to see some 14bit raw freefall footage and how the sensor handles it. Especially in low light or difficult light situations, like overcast, sunset, etc..
-
Hello, Has anyone played around with the new Magic Lantern Firmware, especially with the Canon 5D Mark III? I'd love to try this out in freefall! I am just getting into davinci resolve, but I think this can open up a whole new world for us.. All the best, Max

What is the business case for fun jumpers?

Selling your sandwiches + beer! -
The future of Wingsuits, or just an interesting side-discipline? More "wing", less "suit"? What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WAGx46KkkU

@Phreezone: http://www.dji-innovations.com/products/phantom/overview/ Saw it in action last weekend, pretty impressive and beginner friendly! Look on youtube for more videos of it..

Go and look for the Skydive Dubai Social media channels.. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, etc..) They are doing a lot of things right!
-
Have you, by any chance, seen this one? http://www.dji-innovations.com/products/phantom/overview/ I think this one is really interesting, esp. for people who are just getting into the drone game.. FPV Flight must be awesome!

Hello, I have a Teardrop SF and need new risers, because the rig came with triple risers and now my new slider grommets are smaller, so that the old triple risers hardly fit through. I now have a Crossfire2 119 and a little swoop ambition here and there, but nothing serious. Dive loops are a must. Any recommendations which risers I should get? What is the right length? I just wanted to research a bit, before I consult my rigger.. Thanks, Max

And this.
