  1. Looks like spot is gonna take care of it for you if you send it to him thru FTP??? Pretty easy stuff :) 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. It will take way more than 200 jumps for you to be current. Your profile says 179 jumps, "in 6 yrs" this is exactly the type of people who have bad accidents . You can't argue this with anyone on here trying to give you sound advise. These guys know what they are talking about because they have way more camera experience and jumps. As far as Joe Jennings go's, if asked to look back at it now? He would probably say he didn't make a good decision to jump a camera at that level of experience 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. All we can do is advise you not to jump with cameras until you have proper experience. If you get hurt or killed we did what we could to prevent it. Always remember it don't matter who was right or wrong in the end when your dead! Please take everyones advise on here very seriously, as your life depends on it! :) 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. You need to post some more shots like the one on your profile pic?? Very nice.. :) 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 " ................
  6. I would much rather have the plastic and the lens get ripped off by a riser which i have done before . I have only lost one lens and my camera was not damaged at all just slap another lens on it and go. If i had glued a metal ring to it it would have surely torn up something besides! Just my 2 cents :) 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. I see you have camera questions on your previous posts. If you fill out your profile correctly you'll get answers? People tend to blow you off without proper & honest information in your profile.

  8. Yes i agree here. I'm in hibernation here! Yuk... 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. What about during opening , i like to transition from belly to sit thru the trap door effect on the vector. I pickup speed with the tandem thru it. Would that count as knee flying or not?? 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 " ................
  10. I have an awesome shot in the plane i'd love to submit for this! 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 " ................
  11. Smart man! If we could only get everyone to be as well disciplined as you. I put a camera on around 350 jumps or so and it was still scary to me. You live longer 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 " ................
  12. I just got a new cookie cage and flat lock for my cx-100. The cage has no access to the zoom or still shot feature on top of the camera. The only way to zoom is with the viewer open, no way could you take a still shot with the cage on it. Other than grinding my cage all up myself. Can't cookie make this with the xtra hole for access? On my flat lock the tab to open it isn't long enough to get ahold of. It is a nagging headache to get the box off of it! I know this stuff can be fixed myself by grinding holes and some sewing of the tab, but couldn't cookie fix these issues before hand.... Anyone have knowledge of how to remove the strap without cutting it off the cx-100? My 2 cents!!!!

  13. So i like to create a slideshow with music added at the end of all my videos. I use a combination of frame grabs from video and still shots from the still camera. Which software add on in vegas would you recommend as being the easiest to work with? I have pro 8 vegas installed in windows xp on my mac.

  14. I shoot a rebel xti for free fall 15 mm sigma . Ground and studio stuff i shoot a mark 2 5d. I wouldn't mount the 5d on my helmet unless i had some big formation to shoot or something , which hasn't happened since i bought it last year. I can't really justify the xtra weight on my head anyways though. My helmet is all top mounted with an over sized top plate on a ftp.

  21. Thanks for your post on this vidfly! This is an excellent topic that needs attention. I have been flying camera for about 14 years now. I have jumped both heavy helmets and bad opening canopies with those heavy hi-8 cams, along with too much crap on my head unbalanced. And it has taken it's toll on my body.I now jump a ftp with a over sized top plate with everything mounted on top. Mounting a still can on the front of a helmet on an l-bracket IMO is the worst thing anyone could ever do. Mounting all on top as low as you can make it is always best IMO. If your going to side mount a video cam? Do so with a = counter weight on the opposite side of the helmet. I have seen home made lead shot bags mounted on the helmets with gaffers tape. It looks kind of funny but works beautifully! As far as canopies go, Canopies i have had experience with. Sabre 1 = slammer openings, bad in turbulence. Sabre 2 = very nice openings, fly's well in turbulence. Vengeance = ok openings, but still to hard for camera. PD 9 cell 210 = nice openings, not the most fun in performance. Spectre = nice openings. Stiletto = mostly soft but unpredictable openings IMO. Xaos = Softest openings ever, like to search a little on opening but just go with it. Best camera canopy i have seen , nice swoops! I have 2 98's 21 cells now... I understand the 27 is more aggressive but the performance is far better for swooping. Just my 2 cents :) 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 " ................
