Going BACK to a legstrap deployment p. c. pouch
RossDagley replied to jimmytavino's topic in Gear and Rigging
When I bought my first rig (new), I had my instructor at DeLand jump it - it was a left hand BOC. H'ed over 10,000 jumps right hand pulling, and didn't have an issue I'm sure you'll remember when it comes to pull time. -
Oh don't get me wrong - I'm not bashing Sigma in general - I own a couple of Sigma lenses myself. I would just say that (as a whole) canon build quality is higher and more consistant. With Sigma, certainly in my experience, it can be a bit hit and miss. You'll probably get a good lens - but you *might* get a bad one... For the record, I've got a Sigma 24-70 on my 20d and I'm very happy with it for day-to-day shots. I've also got a 16-35L on a 1dn. Obviously, there's no comparison. I guess you've hit the point tho - money. If I was jumping and wanted the best price/performace, I'd probably go Sigma if push came to shove - I haven't jumped it but I guess I'd rather have a 300XT with a sigma on board than a 1d with L glass for day-to-day jumping. As you say - if full-frame is going to be part of your photography future, the sigma 10-20 is the *only* choice - the EF-S mount 10-22 canon simply wont fit a full-frame DSLR.

Thats a seriously nice edit - especially if the editor had no previous editing experience I'm very envious!
-
Thats an interesting statement. I've used both, and had different results. The 10-22 canon is a (reasonably) sharp lens - the sigma is not. It's dire - at best. Generally speaking, I've found sigma lenses to be less than perfect from a sharpness point of view. Especially at the fringes of a shot. A good comparison can be found here: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/Canon-10-22mm-test.shtml

PC1000 is 30mm It actually has a guide on the cookie pages: http://www.cookiecomposites.com/shop/Accessories/46/index.htm - click the "more info" button. I'll also add that I just bought a 30mm liquid lens (.30) for my pc1000 - was (and still am) blown away by the quality. Very high build quality, and superb images.

Mpg version rather than wmv... http://www.dagley.co.uk/videos/wc.mpg I should also point out that this is my own (personal) footage - the real deal is available from bodyflight (every team, all the flying, the medals, etc).
-

I have some 600 shots from today to filter through - theres 3-4 shots of every team, both four-way and freefly, plus a whole host of "candid" shots from around the place. I've also spent a lot of time today filming, and I'll be putting together a "sampler" of some of the (amazing) flying thats been happening today as soon as I get a chance. (this isn't to replace the awesome video thats Bodyflight are producing, just a "teaser"

It looks fake because it looks like someone intentionally putting in turns and rolls, not someone who turns and rolls and whos limbs follow suit...
-
One of my photos is the pic of the week right now - I can't keep hogging the front page I'll be sure to update Dawn with another good shot soon - there's bound to be plenty to choose from with the World Challenge this weekend
-
indeed. clearly fake.
-
Just thought I'd share some of my better tunnel photos. Enjoy. Only got a few up right now, but I'm expanding the gallery as I get round to it
-
That's the right answer
-
It's the bastards at Orlando (Rusty and Bowen mostly) that forced me to give up my sensible, well paid IT contracting and become a full time tunnel rat. Yeah thanks guys...
-
No what? I suspect 800hp will be plenty for a tunnel of that size to produce high speed (150+ mph) winds. Time will tell of course
-
I'm Ross, and it's been 35 minutes since my last fix... 500+ hours Bedford 8+ hours Airkix 4 Hours Orlando

The solution might be to not tip with cash, but with "goodies" - we always appreciate a box of krispy kreme donuts as a thank you for whatever Beers cool to - often I've sat down with "customers" after a long day and had a cool beer to relax and chat. There's lots of ways to say "thanks".
-
Your choice is limited by the "still in production" criteria HC37 for a current MiniDV camera still in production - for the box, I'd recommend cookie composites.
-
Hi Cookie Yeah all is good.
-
Yeah Bill this I've heard before - sand covered (read: outdoor/Perris/etc) carpet being the worst Doesn't help me much with a teflon coated icecube of a new canopy though
-
Thanks - I never can get my head around them damn links
-
Oh man - I tried packing my Sabre on the living room floor here at home (polished wood) - never again
