Actually, Boituva is a little trick, it is only one dropzone. One company owns the 4 planes. But there are like 10 schools using these planes in the same dropzone. All of them use the same aircrafts and landing zone.

It is in Sao Paulo, also the biggest city in Brazil. There are good dropzones in Parana, a state closer to Paraguay.

Then hit Boituva, its the closest one (Turbine) from Assuncion,Py You will have a good time there! :) jumps non stop! There are good dropzones in Parana too.

Brazil is huge dude! We have 4 turbine dropzones in Brazil, only weekends. The biggest one is Boituva, Sao Paulo, they have 4 Caravans and the best flyers in the country. There is a Dropzone in Manaus and in Boa Vista, in the North of Brazil, both have Caravans in the weekends. My home Dropzone is in Fortaleza, Ceara, and is the only one with a ocean view and has 2 Caravans. Thats it, we have a lot of dropzones, but all of them with little cessnas.

Its a good helmet, basically a copy of the parasport italia Z1. Check these out on the link below, lot of options, search the forum for feedback on the helmet you might like. The helmet everyone is talking about is the Cookie G2. http://www.chutingstar.com/newgear_en/helmets/full-face Blue ones!

Set to manual focus daily. Looses setting after 12 hrs Auto Exposure, auto scene. Be careful not to use the spot focus/spot exposure method! Power on by LCD - OFF X.V. Color turn - ON Turn off face and smile detection Preference: Keep steady shot on, change to wide angle lens Preference: Turn auto shutoff to never Source Hypoxic http://www.gethypoxic.com/reviews-tests-hacks/tests/61-cx100.html

I dont have one, i use a cx110 top mounted on the same helmet you have. I think top mount its safer regarding Riser slaps and those mounts look really good and low profile. The horizontal one will fit on the flat top of your helmet and it will still have some room left. If you are not secure about it, send them a email and ask the dimensions of the mount and compare it with your helmet. Blue ones!

Check this out,i think top mount is the way to go... http://www.square1.com/manufacturers/square1/p522.asp#ContourVerticalMount

I see, i think this post might help you out... http://www.dropzone.com/forum/Skydiving_Disciplines_C3/Photography_and_Video_F7/CAM_eye_LANC_to_half-moon_conversion_P3881040/

There is a fellow skydiver that sells those adapters, his name is Laszlo Andacs , he posts here under his name.

If you are going to Top Mount it, i would go with the RAWA box for the CX110/150, its the only one i think that the Hypeye a/v conector stays inside the box, that way it is more protected than on the outside like the other boxes around. The RAWA box for the cx110/150 works top mounted on any helmet with a flat top.

Hi DSE, i mind a wireless remote controler, so i can turn on, record etc with a remote controller in my hand Blue ones! :)

Hello, i tried the search here and google, but did not find anything. I heard that some skydivers are starting to use a wireless remote control to use on the sony hdr cx series, as an alternative for the hypeye. Anyone knows anything about this? I know drift action camera has one. The hypeye is great, but i would like to know if there is an alternative.

I will try to help... Since you live near Miami, i guess is much easier to buy a LS suit. Ouragan has the same quality, but the delivery times are longer, they are located in Canada now and the costumer service does not get near that Liquid Sky provides. You will be happy with both, but i would go with a Liquidsky suit for the reasons listed above!

I personally know 2 jumpers whom had cypress fire and both said they were aware and waited for the cypress to fire their reserve. They locked, just locked in belly position. One tried 2 times to deploy the main and freeze in position and the other had a hard time to extract the pilot chute and waited for the cypress, no intention whatsoever to deploy the reserve. Both of them had more than 100 jumps when it happened.

[I will never ever understand someone consciously waiting on an AAD to save them...] It happens more often than people think it does

Julio in the beginning anwsered emails back in question of minutes, but i guess that is not very productive So dont be afraid and order a suit, you will be very happy when you get it. I know delivery times are a bit longer, but the quality is the same. He still got the best suit in the block

Okay, so here is what happened... The Opteka lenses are easy to open, just like the video, but there is a difference, The Bigger outside lenses are 2 lenses glued together, and the spot is between those glasses. A professional guy whom i took to try to clean, gave a good tip, he reassembled the Lenses in a way the spot does not show in the footage. I did 10 jumps this weekend with the lenses and its Great. The shipping back and forward to change the lenses would be more expensive than a new one, so i will stick with that. Anyway, if you have an opteka and want to use the video tutorial to clean inside it works the same way. Blue ones!

Yes DSE, the camera is fine, i guess is must be some sort of error in the manufacturing process, it is brand new and it was the first time i test it. Raceface thanks for the video, i hope it works Blue ones

Hello, i bought an opteka .3 fisheye and when i fitted in my cx110 i realized it has some sort of dirty inside de lenses, its not on the outside, i try to clean both sides and after some time i saw is in the inside. Im far from the U.S and im not in the mood to send to opteka for repair, cause would take forever. Anyway, this type of lenses is possible to clean inside between the lenses? Here is a pic of the stuff in the right bottom

Thank you Mike, like someone else said, you and Chutingstar are always there to rescue us. Its good this info here in this forum too if someone else has the same doubt.

Hi, in all my skydiving history, i never wanted to touch a camera setup, but now i want to mount one and i searched like crazy here and could not find good examples, anyway... I got a Rawa top mount box for a cx 150, with a pre drilled hole in the bottom with 0,67" wide, i suppose is to pass the half moon connector. I got a helmet, not a rawa with a flat top to put the cx 150 box, so here are my questions... 1. Do i need to drill a hole in the helmet the same size as in the box and below to pass the sony av connector? its about 0,67" 2. What size do i need to drill to put the hypeye buttom in the helmet? so the only thing in the outside is the push buttom Im sorry if these are stupid questions, but my hypeye is not here yet anf i got someone to drill the holes for me and i dont have no one here where i live to help me, so have some patience. Blue ones

I got this picture of the plane, but i really dont think the pilot bailed out. He got hurt, but he did land the plane, kind of Just to make it clear, i´m talking about the COMP AIR incident in Chile The fireball and the pilot bailing out is the other video.

The fire ball is fake, the tv producers put it there to make it more scary. If i remember the pilot did land the plane, but with damages, since i saw a pic of the plane after the incident.

I call that pure Hype, all the top flyers are wearing G2s because they are sponsored to do so. If some company pays top teams a lot of money, they will probally fly with a watermelon helmet and everyone will start to use one and will say the watermelon helmet is the greatest helmet ever build. The factory diver is awesome, why ditch something that works great? Did not like the original G1, but the G2 seems really cool. Between the Revolver and the G2, go with the G2.
