  1. To early for this stuff now . But when you get a few hundred jumps we'll all be glad to teach you! :) A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................

  3. If you had more jumps with a 30d you would see the difference. A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  4. What are you jumping ? A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  5. When you get enough jumps to put a still on your head , you'll realize the xt is what you want on your head. The other camera is a great camera but to heavy. Take your time and learn from the local photographers 1st.

  6. 13000 jumps, man you must be pooped ! LOL A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  7. If your jumping zhills talk with lalzo or some of the camera flyers there. Aaron smokim works there too A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  8. Carbon fiber is very strong. I wouldn't see a problem with the xtra holes. But if your that concerned with it i'd place a piece of carbon fiber on the inside of the helmet instead of aluminum. If you need mt to i have some here i can cut it to what you want and mail it to you . Think of it this way if you have a hard enough opening that you fear the camera getting ripped from your head. Do you really want it to stay attached to your head. Personally i'd want it to come off .

  9. Like Dave has said this isn't even close to being a solution to a one box camera setup for everything. I strive for my photography to be the best and i want the best equipment for the job . I think it's a pretty simple concept here guys! :) Even if you can get the video to shoot stills your only going to get what about 4 or 5 photo's of crappy quality in free fall if your lucky! Do you really want to sell that to a customer?

  10. I would buy the cx100 without hesitation. I'd get at least a 100 jumps with the video then worry about buying the still camera later when the price of it will come down then anyways. The only thing a camera which does bothe video and stills is good for is an unusual situation where you had to take the stills from the video or something of that effect. Still camera's are for taking photography. Video is for shooting video's . Don't try to do both with them. You won't do a professional job like that , IMO.

  12. In addition to what spot said . Try just removing and reattaching the lens. Dirty contacts or poor connection between body and lens will cause this type error if i remember correctly. Hope this helps :) A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  13. Spot is going to probably recommend sony vegas pro 8 . I'm currently getting set up with it myself. A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  14. Mc or pc? Spot chime in here... A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  15. I dream of having one for my still but there so pricey. :( A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  16. I might also add you won't pickup a camera setup any cheaper than those i sent you. I don't think you'll find anything so cheap or ready to go. Personally i'd buy the bonehead with the pc9 . Nice little setup for your 1st camera or just plain ol fun jumping.

  17. Here's 2 setups ready to go. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=75060;d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=75065;d=1 A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  18. Wes made me a quote of over $1100.00 just for the mounts and plate .I just couldn't justify that .I made mine for about 200.00 including the strobo plates.

  19. I'm certain that the price tag on it will scare you. A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  20. Adobe web site has a free trail version of light room you can download to see if you like it or not.. A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  21. That depends on what canopy your jumping . You would be amazed how well balanced that set up is too. It isnt as heavy as you would think it is. It is all about weight transfer and balance . Front mounted still camera is the worst thing on your neck. A heavy lens and stuff out there gives it more torque to injure you.

  22. My helmet is in the paint shop right now getting a custom job. I'll get it all back together sometime next week and post some photo's of it. I have all 3 side by side on it. Video, still in the center, flash on the right side audio receiver on the back side.

  23. AHHHH Helmet envy! I love this set up right up until i saw the vertical flash mount on the side. Why couldn't the flash go on top in the center like it mounted horizontal? It looks really sweet though. I never shoot vertical stills to much though. I have mine mounted horizontal but i also have a vertical mount for the flash too . Mine don't look near as pretty as yours. :) A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  24. I'm not seeing a test thread on that ? A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
  25. Anyone out there doing handcam video's and taking stills with the expansion kit? How do you have your shutter button wired etc etc etc?? A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................
