The INTRO rocks. It is fast and easy to put on and flies stable. In the right hands it will haul ass too. BTW...Our two new INTRO suits placed first & second in the WS Race at F&D4.0 by Justin Shorb & Me fresh out of the box. BANG!!!

Nope....that Campos is definitely real...which makes it all the more entertaining. I am literally sitting here laughing out load. Thx for the pics!!! WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Damn, who let that prototype Mach 721 out of the factory. What the hell has happened to secrecy??? WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

I am truly enjoying all the shit talking and smack downs. The mood in this thread is so much better than usually. I am disappointed, VOODOO. I think you could do a better job of pissing more people off in here. Come on man pick it up!!!

Thx for the link. I own a Pentax K10D and was interested in this exact same product. I hope you find one for your model. Good luck with your search. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Wow...that ACCESS had some wicked forward speed at the end of the video. Looked like a lot of fun!!! WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

I'm going to completely agree with Zeemax here. If it overwhelms the student with the responsibility to tell the pilot there are wingsuits on board, or if they should exit or not when there is bad visibility, your student is clearly NOT ready to fly a wingsuit. IMHO..... Ed & Macca, I can certainly see your view point and I can't really argue with you. Although, you guys and I both know that you can take an accomplished skydiver with thousands of jumps who is heads-up and aware in all his/her normal discipline jumps and put that person in a WS and suddenly they become uncoordinated, clumsy, forgetful, and overwhelmed by the situation. Part of what I have to do on a FFC is to babysit the student to make sure that they don't forget the simple stuff like: put your helmet on, where are your googles, esc. Anyone who has taught a lot of FFC students knows it can be overwhelming to the student. Why overload them to the point they can't perform well on their first WS flight and then they walk away discouraged. We don't want that. So, even though I have covered every aspect of WS safety in the class room briefing, (such as talking to manifest, the pilot, and other jumpers on the load) I want them to focus on the basics of the WS flight on the first jump. Again these are: 1) Clean Exit, 2) Fly the flight plan, 3) Clean Deployment. I certain expect them to perform other tasks but if they don't do those 3 things then I don't pass them to the next progression jump...period! During the debrief you can review all the basic training, access their skill, and decide whether they are safe to fly alone or not. If repeated coach jumps are needed then take them up again. If they need to digress back to tracking suit jumps then do that. I want student progression that keeps them safe, happy, and most importantly wanting to fly WS a lot more. Ed and Macca, don't take this as arguing. I am just elaborating on my opinion from earlier. We all have our own teaching style. Mine is KISS or Keep It Simple Stupid. To get back squarely on the topic of this thread, YES flight planning and execution is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT on any WS jump even your first one. If you can't navigate yourself then stop flying WS until you get coaching on it.

I'd add one more: Its nice to know when to call off because of the weather/visibility conditions. Jumping with clear sky is rather easy. I've landed out once because there were 2 layers of clouds and I've found myself a bit futher and I could not fly back. I've decided to land with the plan when I got overcasted next time. I agree with your additions in regards to a new WS pilot who has been cleared by an instructor for self supervision. But on a FFC or repeated jumps before they are cleared it is the instructors responsibility to make these decisions and communicate with the pilot. I feel it is best to not overwhelm the student with these things on their first WS jump. Introduce those on the following jumps once they demonstrate the 3 basics I listed.

Thats very cool. I was unaware of the A/V port being 2 way com. I don't frequent the photo/video threads too much so I hadn't read the other thread. Thanks for the info Dave and DSE.

Thats a shame that they haven't designed it that way. It certainly can be designed to turn off since even the OIS is controlled by electronic sensors and servos to move the optics. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

What is the new control protocol that you refer to? What is it called? Where can more data be referenced about it? The only other I/O on the camcorders that I would think could support 2 way communications is the HDMI port. Is this correct? I based my assessment and info in my previous post directly from dealer literature (not available to the public yet) that was given to me at a Sony Dealer show in Las Vegas 1 week ago. Yes, very little is mentioned about LANC in the literature. I certainly do agree that LANC is going away. I may seem hung up on it but I had no idea that there was any other option. Sony is certainly not sharing info on any other external control protocol at this time. That makes me wonder if this new protocol is a 3rd party product. Sorry if I have hit a sensitive spot with these posts. WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Well, that really depends on what you define as being a WS pilot. Lots of people have tried WS and lots of people own a WS but this does not make them a WS pilot unless they are out there doing WS flights every weekend. I would say that in the US there are 1000+ people who own 1 or more wingsuits. Although, there are less than 200 people in the US and Europe combined that I would consider an expert or advanced WS pilot. An example of this is the fact that it will be a challenge (but not impossible) to find all the needed talent to accomplish the two 70+ way WS World Record attempts scheduled for later this year.

Jeez, that does sound scary. I agree with Phil. You really can't have 7 solo WS pilots out of the same plane on the same jump run. Yes, there are a few exceptions but lets not get into distance challenge dive formats. They should flock together or get on alternating loads to spread it out. Alternatively, the whole load could get out together for one hell of a 20 way zoo dive!!
