I am going to cali for a trip in 2 weeks and i cant afford a liquid sky lens right now...any good ideas on where to get a .3 lens for my pc1000 for cheap?!?!

hmmm if you search for ff2's on dropzone you will see the cutaway set up like i have...maybe thats an older style cutaway on their website!

they are about 1/4 inch apart...it took me a while to make the hole...so i couldnt imagine it just combining by itself unless i try to do it myself!...its not only one piece of nylon...theres 3 pieces back to back

just tried to cut it away 2 times and it worked perfect both times!

ooo i did not know that...i bought it used...damn i feel like a idiot now haha

Well i ordered my Tonfly a few weeks ago and they said its not going to get here until the end of february....sucks...im going to perris for the week of february 12th-17th.....so i just bought an FF2 from my buddy so i can fly my damn camera for the cali trip! I notived that when i put the helmet on my head the chin strap is not centered at all when its tightened all the way down...i took the strap off and made a new hole about 1/4 inch down more so that when the chin strap is tightened down enough it is centered...which gives a more comfortable and normal looking fit! This little thing i did made me much happier with the helmet Just throwing this out there if anyone else was getting annoyed with the way the chin strap looked and felt when you tightened it all the way down!

chop that shit now...you will get sick of it eventually

go to SDLI if you wanna chill with a cool crowd...fun loads and fun jumps always! tix are expensive but the view is the best you will get in the NY area!

I had this same exact problem with my Hc-40...it did not work on my laptop for anything...but it worked on my friends laptop....i sold it and got a sony pc-1000 and it works fine on my laptop...i dont know what the problem was but it works now! and im using the same firewire cable

anyone got pics from the boogie?

hey guys we just arrived down in sebastian and damn its cold...anyone know how long this cold fronts gona last for?

19 yrs old

I ordered the blackbox for my pc1000 from them on tuesday and it will be here tomorrow!! I gotta say these guys never ever fail me! Just putting it out there guys!

N/A

i have a log book and i was just joking aorund guys...cmon take a joke lol...im at 181 right now...only have 6 video jumps under my belt..all went smooth..audible is in the helmet and everything.....im just trying to get all my camera equipment in my hands now before i start the police academy in 3 weeks and i wont have the funds to be even close to buying this stuff that im getting right now!

no there isnt anything i dont want anyone to know...i would just like to keep the way it is so other people dont discriminate against jump numbers :)

Well good news i went bakc and i got my liquid sky lens back..and he gave me a sony vcl-dho730 lens ....made out ok in the end..im actually selling my liquid sky lens to a guy near me for 100$ tonight! just gona order the same lens but 30mm thread size tonight from cookie!

My home dropzone is claosed for the season as winter is here...and stop talking about my jump numbers as i didnt update them

sounds good...im going there bright and early and demanding it back...guy said i cna go get it bakc if i wanted to..im just gona tell him it wont fit in the box!! thanks for the help brotha..

hmmm do you think id be better off bringing it back and getting my other lens back with my money and all? What should i do with the liquid sky lens i have that wont fit this camera? Do you think cookie would take it as a return?

DSE Chime in pleasee!!!! :)

OK so heres the deal! I originally had a HC-40 for a few weeks with a liquid sky .45mm wideangle lens...25mm thread! I got bored of the set-up and found a clean barely used pc-1000 for a sick price! Well i bought it and im left over with the liquid sky lens.. Now i went to the camera shop nearby and they told me that no one makes a step down adaptor from 30mm-25mm...so he talked me into getting a lens from him..he gave me 100$ for my liquid sky lens and i gave hi another 100$ and he hooked me up with this .42 lens set-up..Now the deal is theres no name on it..but it seems to work well, Its also a macro so i can zoom in as far as i want and it wont get blury..i really get lost at this point so im asking you guys if i got ripped or not!! here are some pictures of the lens..and then some pics i took with my pc-1000 with the lens on it. BTW dont mind the vignetting..it was caused from a ugly huge filter at the end of it!!...its not there anymore Pictures 2,3 and 5 were taken with the lens on the pc-1000...the rest with my pc1000 without the lens on obviously! Oh and the price for the lens he sold me was originally 300$...he gave it to me for 200$..100$ of it was trade in! so i only took 100 out of my pocket~

got it done about a month ago...posted pics just incase you guys wanted to see it

I already searched and found some answers for other types of camcorders...but not the hc-40.. I was jumping my HC-40 last week for the first time and for some reason my camera focused in on the dust particles on the inside of my wide angle lens...and everything else was blurry..first i clean the lens all the time i dont understand how it gets so dirty so quick! And second should i keep the focus off of autofocus and keep it on infinity? When the camera focused on the dirt particles it was on autofocus....what do you guys reccommend? BTW i have a .45 liquid sky lens with a filter!
