  3. thaks good to know, if your heading up and looking for company drop me a line. Also is it worth getting a controlled storage box here for my rig? getting one for my camera gear and just worried that if you leave clothes too long the can mold here what about kit? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!

  7. That is just not the case! I have seen cases of both skydiving and ground photography were the standard cannon 18-55 usm has resulted in published photographs in several magazines etc. I also use it alot although i do prefer to use other lenses on the ground due to its limited range. Slap a UV filer on it and its great for some really nice skydiving pics. also as its cheap then if it does get damaged it doesnt cost the world to replace! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  8. my understanding of it (and please correct me if i'm worng) Tandems as they are paying for the product unless you have a waiver for the original footage they own the copyright as they are a paying client. however with fun jump footage etc anything were ppl agree to you filming or shooting the aritist (photographer) owns the copyright however it is considered courtious to seek permission/notifiy the subjects that the material is going to be display publically!!

  9. putting the camera back can be just as quick ff2 with top mounted still, can screw back in and line up on my own in under 30sec!! I have a couple marker points on the helment just line the stills up and tighten! Never had any miss alingment probs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  10. Yea I dont have one either in fact most camera flyers at the dz dont, its the extra height with top mount in a cessna dz! although now used to having the top mount looking at getting a strobo as doing a lot more ground shots and snaps about the dz and gettin sick of unscrewing all the time!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  11. Didnt do a tandem until i was doing video at a tandem instructors course last year, had fun in freefall, what really got me was not hacing the rig on under canopy just did not trust the clips!! which is weird as i reqularly hang off just one clip when working. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  12. just courious not looked into the HV-10, but why not any good for jumping?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  13. just as a side thought, cannon have brought out a new mini-dv high def upright camcorder, (Not cradle based and with lanc port etc). Not looked into it too much but as sony are getting away from side mount compatable cameras this could soon become the popular option! looking for a second camcorder as back up incase my pc105 fails on me! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  14. yea its vegas, cheers for that. R. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
  15. Can anyone tell how i would play a clip backwards using sonic foundary 4.0??? Think its great software for tandem vid just trying to expand editing on my own footage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large Groups!!
