nice photos

do you have video somewhere online?

from link above:

"The most significant video feature is support for the XAVC S codec,
which can record 1080/60p or 24p video at a bit rate of 50Mbps."
or
"A neat trick the a5100 can do is Dual Recording. This will record a 720p MP4 video
while you're recording at 1080/30p or lower - even when using the XAVC S codec."

i wouldn't expect buffer issues with camera with these capabilities.

thanks for tip photognat,
i will try them and if they prove to be suitable for modding
and can find stable source of them for similar price
(this one seems to be clearance for 25% of original price)
i will sure lower price of MULTI terminal accessories.

- correctly it should be Exit Equipment,
there is helmet manufacturer Exit Composites,
but i am not associated with them in any way.

- picture above shows initial run,
actual model has moulded 2.5mm connector and cable reinforcement on MULTI terminal connector
(if someone likes metal 2.5mm connector better, i can do it of course).

- here is a picture of actual adapter with my own switch, but it is compatible
with bite switch, tongue switch or any other switch with 2.5mm stereo jack connector.
one-piece switch is already listed here.

- i will update my website soon, i promise ;-)

i have experience with Talon T3 which has the same size main's tray:

Talon 2___reserve___main
T0...........250..........275
T1...........275..........300
T2...........375..........375
T3...........335..........375
T4...........375..........420
T5...........415..........475
T6...........475..........550
T7...........550..........650
T8...........600..........700

i had Hornet 150 in it, it was really tight (hard even for experienced packers) and Hornets are made of Gelvenor which packs smaller and much easier than other fabrics. i would say Sabre1 will pack significantly bigger, if it is older canopy with worn-out fabric, it might be possible to squeeze it in but you will hate to pack it.

CX100........CX150
weight without battery....280g..........210g
focal length 35mm eqv.....42-497.......37-1075
aperture........................1.8............1.8
min. lux.........................5...............5
sensor size....................1/5"............1/4"
video resolution..............1920x1080...1920x1080
framerate......................60i/50i.........60i/50i
bitrate..........................16/9/7/5......24/16/9/5
photo resolution..............2304x1728...2048x1536
built in memory...............8 GB...........16 GB
memory stick access........side............bottom

it's list of all lenses available on the market,
regarding quality everyone can consider what he needs.
this is why i added samples from lens i own.

here is a list of probably all lenses usable for skydiving,
on the left you can click for samples from some of them

Javelin is the only with AAD cutter on bottom and i like it.

it wouldn't be worth it becouse:
- installing remote switch is quite laborative
( = expensive if you are not doing it for yourself)
- there is always risk of bricking your camera
- for that effort you will get pictures with quality
closer to GoPro than serious cameras

if you are looking for better results in small package,
check these threads:

Sony Alpha NEX Series

Panasonic gx1

Olympus PEN E-PM1
Olympus EPM1

Samsung mirrorless cameras
Samsung NX 1000 Lens help!

this camera doesn't have port for any kind of remote switch

this is probably some successor developed for VS-2 seat,
but you can trust me regarding original PL-70,
i have rating to pack these canopies

edit: to be more exact, PL-70 is name for complete parachute system,
so it might also contain new version of canopy and still be named PL-70

here is PL-58S, canopy itself looks the same like PL-70

[inline PL-58S.jpg]

L-39 Albatros trainer with VS-1 ejection seat and PL-70 bailout parachute,
the canopy is quite rare shape (reversed triangle).

this handle is for manual parachute deployment
or to override automatic delayed drogue release.

i am working on this box,
depending on desired setup it might be possible to use it sidemounted.

[inline XQ-021_all_.jpg]

or these:

XQ-020-SAM2 - for latest NX cameras with micro USB connector
(NX 20, NX 300, NX 210, NX 2000, NX 1100, NX 1000)

XQ-019-SAM1 - for earlier NX cameras with stereo jack connector
(NX 11, NX 10, NX 5, NX 100)

beware of NX 200 - the only NX camera without remote port

Does anyone have any experience with the Sony CX410 in skydiving?

CX410 is OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) camera, so not (most probably) suitable for skydiving.

BOSS in action: CX-410/430 vs other camera

20mm @ MFT = 27mm @ APS-C = 40mm @ FF

isn't it a bit narrow?

or do you plan to jump with other lens?
