  1. Just got it wanting to buy my gear. Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  2. it reminds me of the student rigs at Z Hills personally....but that isnt necessarily a bad thing.... . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  3. I am deeply saddened by the loss of a friend and fellow skydiver. I am on vacation this weekend so I wasnt at the dropzone at the time of the accident but my heart goes out to everyone at SWC. Like Lew and Roy I have done a couple tandems with Sean during the cold winter months to help him current when its icy cold. He was a great person who will be missed by us all. I wish I was better with the written word to really write something better, but this will have to do. Sean..you will be missed.....BSBD . Blue Skies!

  4. I have a 2 piece DaKine suit and have not had a problem with it untucking. I think it has a couple of times, but usually that was when I got ready really quick for a load and wasnt carefull about tucking it all the way in before going. I love the convenience of 2 pieces though! Its nice to have the pants to wear with my camera wing jacket. Good Luck with your purchase! . Blue Skies!

  5. I havent bought the separate charger since I havent had a need for it yet. So far, 1 battery has lasted me all day---i have made like 6 tdm video jumps(with interviews and landings and stuff) a day and had plenty of battery left at the end of the day. I just keep the 2nd battery charged so that if i need it i can just switch out the battery. Eventually i may see a need for the external charger, but for now I just make sure I charge the camera at the end of the day. good luck with your camera search! . Blue Skies!

  6. I have the HC 90 and have been jumping it the past 2 weekends. It is my first camera setup and so far so good. I bought a 2nd battery right from the start just so I wouldnt have to worry about that, but I havent had a problem with the battery life being to short or anything. The quality if video and everything is quite good and stuff. So far I love it. I will keep you all posted. :) . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  7. Straight from boneheads website: DBox: TRV 19, 22 & 33 & HC 15 & HC 90 * TOP MOUNT * Can also be mounted on the side of a helmet This dbox fits the HC 90 very well. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  8. Bonehead has a box that fits the HC 90 great. It is the TRV 19, 22, 23 box. The ports are ok since there is an opening in the Dbox that actually makes them quite accessible. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  9. with the bonehead Dbox i have it in, it isnt a problem cuz there is an opening in the box that makes them very accessible. :) . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  10. i have one that is getting set up to fly but I havent jumped it yet. It is my first camera set up. The other video flyers at my dz like it except for the fact that you cant put a larger battery on it. I will let you know what the verdict is after it gets jumped. :) It fits in the Bonehead TRV 19. 22. 23 box. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  11. I had emailed cooke composites before and they are not familiar with the HC90. So they arent sure what it will or wont fit. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  12. Well, I dont think there is a cookie that fits my camera. I like the cookie boxes....they do look really cool. Without having the dimesions on the website as to what exactly will fit in each box, its kind of hard to buy them. If this DBox doesnt fit, I dont know what I will do. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  13. It works with these sony cameras according to the Sony Website: AC-VQ11 DC-VQ11 DCR-PC1 DCR-PC5 . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  14. well, it appears that the bonehead dbox for the TRV 19,22,33 will fit the HC 90 well. that is waht bonehead now tells me. So my box is being shipped back today and hopefully the other one will come soon and fit so that I can get this helmet put togther! Thanks! . Blue Skies!

    Sky

    holy sh@t! Thats my dog! Or at least one that looks just like him! see pic.... my dog's name is "Puppy Dog" I love my dog! . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  16. I already took the strap off..at least partly off. The camera has a small plastic bulge that sticks out and is what catches on the side of the box. At its widest point (without the strap) the camera is 2.4" and the actual entry to the DBox is less than 2.25 due to the hingy stuff on top sticking out into the entry way of the box. The measurement of the inside of the box once you get past the hinges is just less than 2.5". How wide of a camera can the Cookie Box HC Box hold? Help! :) . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  17. My new optic illusion arrived today as did my DBox. Very exiting, but the DBox doesn't fit the camera :( The measurements on the bonehead website are for the outside of the box, not the inside. Does anyone find that misleading? So anyways....Anybody have a dbox or cookie box, or any box for that matter, that fits the HC90? The camera dimensions are as follows: (A) 4.125" long (B) 3.5" tall (C) 2.375" wide (D) lens sticks out .25" I ordered the HC 20-30-40 Box with the following internet dimensions A: 4.75" B: 4" C: 2.50" D: 0.50" The camera is too wide/fat for the box :( If I force it in I think it would fit, but I am not gonna do that. HELP! I have everything else I need to finally assemble the helmet!! . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  18. If you are that interested in getting good marketing footage or whatever and want to use a linked exit as part of it, why not just get an experience jumper to pretend to be a student and film that? It could be part of the intro to your tandem video and used for whatever you wanted. Just a thought. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  19. And Lew, I dont plan on wearing my NEW CAMERA SETUP in the base of a formation :) . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  20. So unless I want to swing my ringsight out under canopy or something I just need to buy the post. And then buy the actual ringsight also. Do I have that right? Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  21. OK, so am going to get a bonehead optik illusion. I am filling out the order form and I am wondering about the ring sight options they have. I am pretty sure I want one, but I am not sure what exactly the "ring sight Swivel" and the "ringsight post" are. Do I order both? Do I need to order a ringsight from somewhere else? does it matter if I get the 1/4" post or 6mm post? Please help! I want to order this tonight. . Blue Skies!

    April Fools

    Yeah, I was the victim of a well planned out April Fools Joke this morning. I am the manager of a food service operation and start work at 530am. I am not really a morning person so I dont really think well till like 2 cups of coffee and some breakfast When I got into work this morning I realized I was the first one there. I am NEVER the first one there. I go into my office and the phone is ringing. One by one EVERY single employee calls off sick. It is a regular thing for a few to call of sick, but EVERY single one is obviously bad news. I kinda freak out and start cursing out loud. I pick up the phone and start dialing the home phone number of the manager who comes in later in the day when all my employees come to the office door and yell out "April Fools" to which I respond in a startled and frantic voice "FUCK!" Needless to say, I fell for it 100%. I am glad that they didnt have a video camera or something to record my language! We discipline them for foul language..all they need is alittle blackmail on me and I am in trouble! Anyways, until next year, Happy April Fools! . Blue Skies!

  23. ask Tracy Dinkler Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  24. I have also had good experience with butterflyphoto.com and bhphotovideo.com. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
  25. I want to put the video camera on first and then go from there. I know that the mindwarp is very far from a great camera helmet, but I kinda just spent a bunch of money on the cameras and stuff so a new helmet is definitely not going to happen before the season starts. I have emailed Bonehead three times and haven't gotten a response so I am kinda leary of them right now too. . Blue Skies! Mary B Sandillas Rodriguez Muff Brother #2959 TF #77
