  1. Try auto focus ,and iso 100 ,slower shutter speed of like 200 or 250 you can even go down to 160 on a sunny day like that if you want . But try an aperture of around f13 or f11 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 " ................
  2. I used to have the old metal one shown in diablopilots photo and it does come undone so beware you can very easily loose your helmet with it if it is bumped hard enough or is not latched extremely tight. (VOICE OF EXPERIENCE HERE) I managed to save it though come undone on opening and in free fall before i have since replaced the entire bone and latch with a cutaway system on it now . And it works beautifully, but be sure you have it shimmed properly for it to cut away correctly ? This is crucial! 1st photo is old metal style second one is new bone and cutaway installed ,(notice the configuration of shim material on the bone ) The right side of the bone needs thicker padding or shims under it by the hinge. This is critical to insure proper cutaway ! Practice cutting it away at least a few times a season.

  5. I have tried some small video lights that didn't work worth a crap in free fall. Rechargeable stuff ,didn't last long enough to finnish 1 video. Maybe this is the ticket i hope.

  6. Yea what you said! :) I have actually been on a few dives that went bad. . One aff in particular i had to take over for the instructors that were not there. Kind of funny when it happened. All worked out good though. 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 " ................

  9. As a tandem instructor i would never let a thing like that happen .I am the pilot in command ,which means i am in charge and responsible for my passengers safety. This is putting the passengers safety at risk.

  10. Even if they had tunnel time its not acceptable , There are just to many reasons to list here guys... If i remember correctly here the bsr says you should be tandem rated to film tandems . Somebody look this up please, I don't have a manual handy here.

  19. I'd like to se the free fall video to hear the audio from this mic you used? I personally use a sennheiser wireless mic. But if i could pickup stuff in free fall with something else it would be cool.

  20. I had about 300 or so and was scared shitless. Now looking back at it ,i was in situations that were insane. The worst was back sliding and opening with the tandem . Now how stupid is that ! And i had an experienced tandem master / camera man telling me to do it. I must have been out of my mind .

  24. Speed isn't to much of an issue for me because i don't do any editing at the dz ,only on rare occasions. I mail the video's and give them the prints and photo cd's on site. I'm just confused on doing a video on my mac here. I have older version of imovie hd 5.0.2 and i have toast 8.0.3 But i'm not able to see any of the options you mentioned to make this disk ? I have a base jumping project ready to send to disk...
