  4. Why can't I add fill flash without the shutter speed automaticly dropping to 1/90? 1/90 is the maximun synchro speed possible in your camera.. _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  5. Wich camera have you got? every camera has a sinchro-flash speed, going from 1/90 up to 1/300... it depends on the model. Fill flash is the best way, and better if you use a diffused light, by putting a diffuser in front of the flash. check out my web site, many pictures with fillflash at 1/250. _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  6. May be yes, may be not.. but I remember when I was at my static line course (96) tha I saw that helmet falling close to me ( I was just landed), the camera did't brake, just the door tape broke, it was an old video8. I guess the system should be valid for light weight camera helmet (side camera). I guess pc is not the answer but a good and well done camera helmet is the answer, with all the equipment well disposed... _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com

  8. The Dickinson has a parachute in the inside, the bridle goes from the pc to the cut away handle, so when you throw away the helmet your hand will take the parachute out, I saw it working and it works well. No extra weight (not more than a wide angle adapter...). _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  9. that's what I hope Quade!! _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  10. The need of it, in my opinion is to avoid to kill somebody in the ground and to avoid to keep a falling helmet on my head when I'll open the reserve. My english sucks, hope you understand me... _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  11. Not kidding, the system exists, I saw it 7 years ago, I can't remembar the manufacturer, the small parachute was inside the helmet between top plate and head. My question is: why today nobody sell it?? _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  12. Easy.. that's not my job.. _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  13. The "N" version has a plastic bayonet lens attach instead of a metal bayonet. If you do not need to change different lenses I suggest you the N version, lighter and cheaper... _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  14. I was wondering why in new camera helmets there is no recovery system but just a cut away system. Does anybody have a motivation about it? Thanks! _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
  15. Hi, I'm currently using a VX2000 and a GL1, to avoid problem with vibrations, you need to use the aperture priority program and set f 1.6, in the sony you need to use both the ND filters, in the GL1 (or GL2) you need to use the internal ND filter and an external ND-8 filter (I suggest you a B+W filter for wide angle). No problem , even in freeflying at very high speeds... _____________________________________________ Roberto Mettifogo, Photographer - Cameraflyer www.robertomettifogo.com
