The beauty of this debate is the simple fact that two views now exist. And not just two video views, but two good quality DIGITAL camera views as well. As social media evolves and people are more and more cognizant of what it takes to edit a video, DZs, camera people and those doing the editing will be held to a higher standard regardless of the view. They are also going to expect to walk away with something they can upload on their way home. Just a note on which I prefer . . . because my opinion is simply what it is . . . Hand Cam video, when done well, gives an incredible view of what it is like from the student's perspective from beginning to end. Many only do one jump ever so they have as much of the jump to relive and share as possible.

Just wanted to give a shout out from the East Coast! Taft you say? Sounds warmer than here... Mike--I had the pleasure of doing my AFF out of your plane down at ASC in May of 2000. (btw, I was the level II chick that had a FREAK off dz landing that wasn't my fault, and hella bruises...I think Charlie was driving) Anyways, they all said I was _so_ spoiled to be jumping Mike Mullins plane for my training. I can now say I understand completely...I _was_ spoiled. *raises glass* Thanks Mike!

For a student (day job) who procrastinates way too much either at the DZ or on the Internet (have 2 websites!) I should have jumped in here sooner (pun intended!)
