  1. I believe I have read most of the posts concerning the Sony CX-12, but have not really been able to come to a proper conclusion. The CX-12 can take unlimited pics while recording. I believe this to be correct, but can we take unlimited pics in freefall or is the time needed to capture the pics to slow to use the CX-12 as a stills cam. Especially if I want to record HD, will I be better off just recording the video and then taking frame grabs, even though this is a lengthier process? Thanks, R
  2. Hi Everyone, I am looking for a RW coach to help out on some 1-1 coaching and possibly some 4-way coaching at Skyventure Orlando in December? Anyone that can advise me? Blu Skies
  3. Hi guys, yes all the FF alarms were/are enabled. We had jumped them the previous day and no worries what so ever. Haven't really found anything of the type on Alti-2 forums. But I must state again that Alti-2 is doing there upmost to get to the bottom of this. They have asked us to send the Neptune's back, for them to test and have a look. Thanks for the comments.
  4. Hi Everyone, On 29/04 on a training jump for 2-way Nationals, both my partner and I had problems with our Neptune II. They both gave us the 1000 ft signal, so we know it was on, however in FF neither of the 2 gave us an alarm. First I thought we might have not heard it, but both of us not hearing our audibles seems very unlikely. An instructor/coach jumped one of them the following day and confirmed us that it did give a signal at 1000 ft(even though it was a different type of signal according to him), but did not give any alarm at the alarm/breakoff altitude(4500 ft). I have e-mailed Alti-2 and they are looking into it, however a first look tells them everything looks ok. Battery might be a little low, even though my Neptune is still showing full battery. We have only had the Neptunes for 3-4 months, and have never had any problems prior to this one jump. Can anyone give me some insight, or let me know if it has happened before? Didn't want to post this as an incident, but we were so low 1 of us did have a dual deployment when their Cypres fired. I am not blaming the audibles for us not being alti aware, but just don't want the same thing happening to me or anyone out there if it is a problem with the Neptune II. Thank you, Roy49
  5. Really looking forward to it, dude As long as weather holds out and wind doesn't go nuts this coming WE should be one to remember! C ya
  6. Hi all, Am Belgian guy living in South Africa. Did a tandem in the Netherlands(wow, what a rush!) about 18 months ago and kept thinking I had to do it again. Last WE decided to go for it, through an AFF course. Did my First FreeFall jump on Sunday and have not stopped thinking about my next time since. Hope to have many jumps in the near future. Roy49
