Thanks, I've been pleased with my Altitrack in all respects. I also found the instructions in the manual to perform a right front button access incomplete for backlighting. wow thanks for replying, atleast i know im not the only one with that problem....300$ and i dont have a backlight, this sucks

damn im sick and tired of reading all these reviews for the HC-3, should i just go out and buy it now? i think im gona run down to best buy and pick it up right now

well ill def be by this week if the weather is nice, maybe tuesday or wednesday

is all the rental gear in florida?

still cant get the backlight to work

looks like the optik illusion and sony HC3 is sold to me :)

thanks for your info

The match value is just a random value you must match to activate the function (turn off and erase the logbook are the functions that use it). The reason for it is to avoid activating the protected functions by misstake or by someone who doesn't know how to use the unit and just presses some buttons. Backlight on/off and altitude adjustment are done just like how a protrack is activated for configuration. Press one of the front buttons once and when the green light turns on, press the same button again and hold it until the green light goes out. Which button does what, I don't remember, but the manual and the summary page tells. The unit will leave these adjustment modes after some timeout. If the altitude was adjusted it will enter flight-mode and no longer automaticly adjust the height until after a jump or some hours. Now that helps, thank you very much for going into detail what the match value is

wow this forum helps and stuff but people should really learn how to read posts and then reply to them....i didnt ask how to turn it off or turn it on, i know how to do that, im just asking what the match value menas or why you have to match it to turn it off, why is it 20 to start off with?? and you wrote to turn the backlight on push the right front button, puch the right button on the front, when the gren light comes on push and hold the "SQUARE" button on the front until it goes off, that makes no sense right there, 1st there isnt no square button on the front, and i push the right button 20 times in different ways and no backlight goes on

im asking you guys cuz i dont relaly understand the manual that well, its confusing me

i dont even know what to search for in this forum, i tried but i dont know what keywords would show me a few posts with info like that....

can you please tell me why i shoudl not jump with a hardrive cam? sorry for asking so many questions, i just want to educate myself in this area...i really cant find anyplace on this site to learn about things like that

I just got this thing and its confusing me a bit... The first thing i have no clue about is The Match Value...When i go to turn it off it says you have to go to a page that has a mathc value...what is it and why do they put it in there...and how do i turn th backlight on. i cant get it to go on, i dont think im doing it right

thats what everyoe is telling me, im gona buy this helmet for now, but not slap a camera on it until i am allowed to jump with one, but all im asking if this is a good helmet to buy not minding the camera based part....

Which would be better for taping while flying?? if you know certain details about the cameras state them and why its better or worse then the other

I Just got off AFP and starting to do solo jumps...i need to buy a helmet and was wondering if the Optik Illusion is a good one to buy , i want a camera based helmet since i will be doing video when i get to the 200 jump minimum for flying with a camera.....so is this a good camera based helmet to buy??

its just easier to finance, im not a adult with $$$ im 20 years ld trying to buy all my skydiving gear, paying off a brand new car, insurance, phone bill.....it sucks :(

i bought my tickets in november, paid 552 round trip for me and my gf,. it was 180 each with some 70$ service and tax charge.....were paying 110 a night at hotel rosa del mar....i think i did good!!

yeah its great....hey would u know if x keys is open tmorrow wednesday?? or should i say today

every post i made stated that i live 3 hours away. waiting until they opened would be pointless..... the only way worth gong is if i leave my house 4 hours b4 it opens

the thing is i live 3 hours away, so if i waited till 10 to call id get there at 2 which would suck with traffic......so that means only 2 jumps.....i think im gona takje the risk and leave here at 5

so i should go then tomorrow? how come they arnt picking up the phone?

can u find out for me if they are open how far away do u live from the dropzone

ive been going there for a bit, i live 3 hours away....i wanna come doa few jumps tomorrow but i keep calling the number and no one answers, they say they are open though.....and u have to make an appointment to jump...anyone know if they are open tomorrow??
