  1. Nice DE-arches of the pax on exit Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!
  2. Use the 1080P60 or 720P60 mode for video. Good for slow-motion. or 0.5sec for photomode (You need latest firmware!!!) I personaly like spot exposure ON (dot with box icon) This adjusts the exposure based on the center of the image (passenger) instead of an full screen average. Just google "gopro3 spot exposure" for some examples why. Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!

  6. No issues so far with the black during skydiving, snowboarding (including a big crash), bicycle, moterbike or at the front of my car upto 100km/hr. Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!
  7. Does it solve the 0,5 and 1 sec photo mode exposure lock? Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!
  8. Direct cause: a packer that makes a mistake. ROOT CAUSE: A design that allows the situation to occur. A more uniform stiff toggle design resolves this, regardles of packer skills. Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!
  9. Have seen that before. Happened at least twice on a DZ I worked a couple of weekends last year. This is how the equipment was found after the chop Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!

  11. I doubt you understand the way canopies fly. A main with a line over and the other side in full brakes is very unstable and will not have the glideangle you expect. The small altitude loss due to a chop will be easily compensated by the glide angle of a reserve compared to the unpredictable (steep) angle of a malfunctioning main (1 side does not fly proper, the other 1 is 100% brake) A 100% non-discussion. Just break away. Act as trained don't try to reinvent the wheel and find out you have an unlandable main in 200ft!! Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . .

  17. ALL optical/mechanical stabilization systems consist of a lens and an actuation system. As an actuation system does not have infinite stiffness the total system is in fact a mass on a spring. Having a mass on a spring the only trick is to find the right frequency to generate occilations. Body position and airstream can easily trigger such an event. Conclusion: OIS can trigger unwanted vibration by design when exposed to the right condition. Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!

  21. That's interesting. Is that some kind of rule from the skydiving or aviation organizations, a preference from DZO's or instructors, or something else? It's the way tandems are sold here. A tandem is sold as a 1 time experience, not as training method. Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!
