  1. You wouldn't like it after you have it. Headhunter used to make them,and my friend had one and he hated it! Get a bonehead flat top pro or a vapor . Buy the right helmet the 1st time and save yourself a lot of money and aggravation . http://www.boneheadcomposites.com/flattop.htm http://www.skysystemsusa.com/helmets/vapor_wes_pro.php 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. You might want to consider a cutaway kit from bonehead too? It is the flat top cutaway mod. http://www.boneheadcomposites.com/helmparts.htm I would call linda at bonehead and talk to her before ordering this mod for the older style hemet I did one on my old one. There is some changes that you'll need to know about with the ski binding and padding inside the bone to make it work properly. Also if you do this you'll want to put the helmet on tightly and cut it away several times to make sure it works right. I had 2 helmets that didn't want to cut away due to the way the foam is shimmed on the bone.

  3. Profile says you have 5000 camera jumps , you should already know this 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 " ................
  4. You can pick one up for 360 to 399 shipped top your door right now. I payed 399.00 early this summer and later found i could get it for 360 Your not going to get any cheaper than that. Heres where i bought one this year. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110459251710&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3D110459251710%26_sacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.m270.l1313%26_sop%3D15%26_dmpt%3DCamcorders_Professional_Video_Cameras%26_odkw%3Dcx100%2Bcamera%26_osacat%3D0%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=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 " ................

  6. He just told you you are a test dummy. If you want to try it go ahead but don't say he didn't warn you. :) You will get better responses from the forum by filling out your profile,and not eluding it. If you have no info people tend not to give any response to your questions at all.

  7. This what makes camera so dangerous. We always put ourselves in harms way to get the shot. But hey then again it's all about getting the shot huh!

  8. The thing about flying camera is "always expect the unexpected" A drogue can come out at any time. And so can a main on deployment of the drogue. I have witnessed and experienced this to many times ! Be careful out there , the reaper is chasing 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 " ................
  9. But not the safest place to be. I'm assuming he was not there intentionally, and it was on the exit that he ended up there? Lets hope it wasn't on purpose!

  10. I want one ! Pretty awesome.. So whats the price on one of these badass helmets ?? :) 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. Lets do tandems and video together sometime! :) I had a guy a couple years ago that liked to pull low while i was filming him and it really pissed me off. I had to have several talks with him. until he finally understood where i was coming from about his opening alt. He would continually dump at 4500 or lower, putting me in the ugly zone!

  12. All this depends on what kind of canopy you are flying my friend. I like to be in the saddle by 3000 . Say the tandem pulls by 5500 which they usually don't and it takes the canopy 1000 feet to open and i'm filming the opening. Now i'm at 4000 or lower gives me little time to transition and then get my separation since my canopy takes 1000 feet to open and it might get really interesting at any time during that opening ,and i want to make it back to the dz too!

  13. Just keep in mind when your tracking that there are other tandems or jumpers in the area .Say there are other tandems and camera flyers on the same pass, do you know there line of flight to avoid them? I am all for separation . But a couple years ago another highly experienced camera flyer and i almost had a canopy collision on opening , and we never did figure out how we came so close . Luckily i saw him on my deployment and managed to avoid the collision. We were both jumping highly loaded cross brassed xaos canopies.

  14. My neptune turns black ,but if i remove the battery and put it back it works for a jump. Any clues? 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 went to the sore today to get a 50mm hole saw an they only have 2in which is 51 mm. Can this be a problem? I have a box for my cx 100 im going to side mount on my new invertigo x. Along with a hypeye d pro all in the box.I just keep putting it off due to it looking like it's going to take me an entire evening to do it right. Wish i had someone else here to do the job for me..

  18. Andre is pretty funny guy . i know years ago everyone was afraid to jump with him because they couldn't understand him ,then they found out how long he'd been jumping and how much experience he had . Everyone was in shock! LOL... He built his system himself , and i'm sure he'd probably throw something together to shoot hd to the ground if he was asked!

  19. Yes i agree, i can't seem to focus on the problem for some reason that pilot seems to fog my judgement! :) 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. He just told you your answer though. Canon stills rule the skydiving market , switches are readily available for them at most drop zones. You can buy a nikon and have to make your own switches.

  21. Do you have a link for the zkulls mount ? I looked but all i found was the foreign sites in euros . Any local dealers for it ? I like the setup you have being all self contained within the box ,I'd be able to still use my helmet for tandems and such without all the garbage on it.

  23. Is there a us dealer that sells the zkulls system? Everything i found is in foreign currency. 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 remember a few years back there was a guy (possibly a TI) who had a dog with around 300 or so skydives. He is now deceased. I think a skydive related accident????

  25. I use it and think it's fairly fast. But Not fast enough to do at the dz ,so i do my edits during the week and mail them. But it sucks because you have to use the docking station due to the file structure i think. Can't remove the memory card and use a card reader , unless you convert the files which is a very long process ,not worth the headache. If that's what your looking to do your better off booting into windows with sony vegas pro 8.
