  1. BAD DAY!: Turned AAD on for my only jump of the day. Landed and daisy chained the canopy to pack another day (Beer o'clock!). A week later I take the rig out, pack the canopy, and as I put the PC away I see something wrong with the CYPRES screen.... The screen has leaked it's black liquid and you can see the crack across a layer. No idea how it happened. Could it have been from leaving it in the car overnight by accident during a cold winter night? Anyone know what the replacement costs / time are? Thanks Why Jump Out A Plane?

  2. My camera has stopped resonding to my CamEye inputs. I've tested the CamEye on another camera and it is working. It seems that my LANC port may have failed. Is it possible to fix yourself, and if so, what is most likly to have gone wrong, what do I need to do, and where can I get the part int the UK? Thanks Why Jump Out A Plane?

  4. You'll love Boogie 2! It's going to probably be the biggest boogie in Europe this year. Currently there are 2x Caravans, 1x Beech 99, 2x Skyvans and the possibility of some more to come. Langar is by far the UK's busiest DZ. Hopefully I'll be down from Scotland (if I can get off uni) and join in the action. Where are you flying into? Why Jump Out A Plane?

  8. I'm looking to build a laptop for good large sized DV video editing as well as everyday use. I've got a guy who will custom build it, but he doesn't know much about video editing demands. Looking around here I've put together the best of all the advise given. The only thing I haven't chosen is a graphics card - Advice? What do you think? A bit over the top? What would you change? (The hard drive is purposely very large as I will often be away from my PC for months in different countries. I have ~ 40GB music and a large amount of games and movies) Processor: At least 1.2GHz Operating System: Microsoft Windows with Office Memory: At least 512Mb Hard Drives; Internal: 60 GB Minimum, 80GB Preferred (7200RPM if possible) External: 100 GB Minimum, 7200RPM, FireWire Linked, Mains Powered Screen: Widescreen, 15” Minimum Optical Drive: DVD RW / CD-RW Specialist Ports: FireWire (IEEE 1394) Card, Dual Monitor Output, Audio / Video Out, Media Card Readers Accessories: Docking Station, 2x Charger Cables, Laptop Carry Case, 2nd Battery Why Jump Out A Plane?

  11. I'm looking to top mount a video camera. I'm not sure whether to go for a Sony TRV or Sony HC. I have a side-mounted PC for general jumps, but for proper camera work I find the PC's just a bit to tall and sticky-out. Are there any distinct pro/cons of either, and what would people recommend? (I want one that can be fitted in a Bonehead mount and that has DV out) Thanks Why Jump Out A Plane? Have You Seen The Legroom Out There!!!!!!!
  12. I could find a related topic with the search, but if there is I'm sorry for posting ANOTHER Booties Thread. I have decided that I want to get Booties on my new jumpsuit, but am not sure which to order. How big a difference is there between plain Booties & Mega Booties. I'm 93Kg and am ordering a SLOWPO suit. Any help given, gratefully recieved Why Jump Out A Plane? Have You Seen The Legroom Out There!!!!!!!

  14. One of my mates is looking to attach a hot-shoe for his camcorder to his helmet. The camera itself is inside a hard cover, and he wants to hook the camera's hot-shoe up to one on the outside so he can clip on a light or a microphone whilst in the plane or on the ground. Does anyone know if you can get an extension off the shelf, or if he will need to try and make one himself? If he has to try and make one, where can you get the hot-shoe parts and how hard will it be to do? Why Jump Out A Plane? Have You Seen The Legroom Out There!!!!!!!
