  1. I am not sure for this because I bought my altitrack a few days before and I don't test it yet,but I thing you must change the speed from "TAS" to "SAS"... to see you "real" speed...Maybe I am wrong..
  2. Hi! I bought mine a few days before but I don't test it yet.Also it has an option "freefall log" or "freefall log +canopy log" I don't know what "canopy log" means but I believe I will find it out next week.
  3. The Way cool "red eye" works for me perfect. A friend of mine bought a cookie 0.3 and it has distortion on the image and black corners with the filter on his sony cx7.The red eye is just perfect.With, or without filter has perfect image and it has lower profile than the cookie.Check it.
  4. Hello there! I just receive my new camera helmet :-))))). It is a Cookie MXV with the Liquid flatlock for my Canon 400D and a black box for my pc105.Lens is Red eye.
  5. For sure is a for T-10 round parachute and I thing is the same container for the MC11B.Also a round canopy but with toggles,ONLY to face the wind or change heading.No brakes at all. I have 14 jumps for those canopies in the army.:-) Exit altitude with static line 1100ft :-))). You have the reserve canopy on your chest....Brrrrr. And you need all the way down to cutaway (joking).
  6. Here is another shot from the same tandem. I left the plane last and I had a small delay because I wan't be close enough until the pilot shute comes out....Also I have I freefly suit Buggy and polycotton and I "lost" a lot of time to go close to them.I didn't had time to turn from the other side(sun on my back) and I knew about the dark faces. Also I wanted to use the buid in flash but I wasen't sure for the resaults,because the shutter set to 1/200 with flash... Thanks for the help.I really appreciate it. Next weekend I will jump again.I will post again some photos. I believe with better resaults.:-)
  7. Hello there! This is my first tandem photo as a second camera man.I did't take money.It is tooooo soon for me to do that. The first photo is the original and the second one is the fixed. The picture was taken on TV prog and AF.
  8. This is a custom helmet,copy from a velocity and it works very well.No brand loyalty...:-)
  9. Yes I know... The idea was from their filter kits... Thanks
  10. Hello there! I have a red eye from Way cool. The lens is very good but with something wrong IMO. I lost the filter from a "bad" opening. The way that the filter fits on the lens is not very safe for the filter...So I made my own filter kit...more secure...Check this out.
  11. "FYI, your image data says these shots were taken at f11, not f9." Yes you have right.I did wrong. But how you can see the settings pharmerphil??
  12. Hi! The one foto is the exit (3way)The result was nothing The other guy never reach us. I use manual focus.The distance is about 3-4 meters. I am not sure if I will have a good result with auto focus...
  13. oopps! I forgot totaly "the rule" always the sun on the back :-) I had my mind on the settings and nothing more.I did meter the clouds from the ground and to be honest I was exepted better results.But I forgot the sun and in this case I believe the reflection from the sea is an issue.Some things are "basic" in photografy. The dust in the foto was from my filter.Now is ok. I will be learn.This was my second try.... What about the blur??? Thanks for the help.
  14. Hi Again! Here is my first try with manual settings. iso 100 ,F9 and shutter 200 without flas. The image is a little dark and blur. The lens is Canon std 18-55 3,5-5,6 The shots are taken in 18.
  15. Thank you very much for those informations. I undestand that I must leave the "auto" programs and I must work enough the full manual...with flash or without flash,and I must "spend" a lot of jumps to find some setings, right?
  16. Yes.I see this on the first shot when I was closer... Th alt is too low so I don't have the change to try face to face...:-) I will work it...maybe in full manual.... Thanks for the help..
  17. Hello there! I am very new in skydiving with still camera so....I need some help.This a photo on my second jump with my camera.Why this photo is a little dark? The settings are: Canon Eos 400D Stadard lens 18-55 Manual focus and sport program. Thanks...
  18. ok. Thanks for the help. :-)
  19. Yes.Ths 400D isn't so new...my mistake. It is new for me.I bought it 2 weeks before. Thanks.All I want to know is,if you take a look on the para-gear site you will find 2 types of bite switchs. 1:Bite switch 2:Bite switch-digital plug. I thing the first is the right for me. Thanks.
  20. Hi! I have the new canon 400d. I want to buy a bit switch but I have found 2 types switches. Digital and standard. What type I sould buy? I thing the standard but I am not sure. Thanks.

  24. Hi! I am jumping right now a Performance Variable Cayenne 150.I can put it in the bag very easy.(I don't know if I am a good packer.) The pack volume of my canopy is 360 cu.in I found today these informations: Paratec Faqtor 135: 357 cu.in Icarus canopies Crossfire 2 129: 364cu.in , 139: 386cu.in Aerodyne Pilot 132: 368 cu.in , 140: 379 cu.in.
