  6. NICE!!

    My questions:

    How many seconds will the photo burst mode (30fps) work? What resolution?

    How does the simultaneous photo/video feature work and what kind of resolution can you shoot while using both?

    Does it perform better in low light situations?

    Can you change the lenses now to make it less wide/fisheye?

  11. If I understood correctly he said in freefall: "My visor is smoking as hell" I think he meant "fogging" and that is probably the reason why he pulled early..

    He was stable, below 13000ft and good to pull. He knew if he pulls now he is good and can still barely see something and/or flip his visor from here and fly safely to ground.. Just my assumption in this case..

    I jumped a cessna, with the little handles at the door, and held on to that. Broke my left hand ring finger as I exitted, my finger got stuck in the little V part of the handle. 6weeks lesson.



    OUCH! B|

    Another thing I noticed in my video.. When your left brake isn't set, your canopy will most likely spin to the left on opening, while when it's flying it will slowly turn right. Weird, but logical when you think about it..

    My 2 cents -

    I'd stow that excess brake line! Loose brake line has a habit of looping around toggles, kill lines, other risers etc.



    I usually do this, but in this case it somehow came loose or I pulled it out while (unnecessarily) grabbing the risers.. I am extra cautious now while stowing the excess.

    Oh boy, an arm-chair critic opportunity. People in this forum LOVE this stuff.



    I know ;)

    Where the heck did your slider go? I saw grommets, and it didn't look like a removable slider...



    I pulled it behind my head. Not good in this situation..

    Do you have a third riser for your brake line?



    Yes, it's called triple riser, a relict from the past.. I don't know if many people still use this.

  20. On my last skydiving trip I did a stupid thing, which could have led to a serious problem..
    I am sharing this, so maybe someone can learn from this and prevent this from happening.

    If you have a problem with your main canopy, try to fix it first, before you think about other things, like stowing your slider :P

    I reviewed this video and found a lot iof mistakes from my side. Let's see how many you can find ;)

    I learned a lot from DZ.com, so I just wanted to add this to the knowledge base.

    Nothing happened, except an outlanding because of that..

  24. The last bit of swooping the suit before impact was perfectly timed. Even some boxes in front of his impact point popped up, giving me the impression that there probably even was a little bit of ground effect involved.. I may be wrong here, perhaps someone with a better physics degree can chime in ;)
