  2. I switched to a Comp Velo a few months back from a regular velo and most of my jumps are terminal.

    I'm using 500 vectran with the removable slider (not the full RDS)

    The openings compared with the standard velo are incredible! By far the best opening canopy i've jumped. It opens quite a bit faster but 99% of the time perfectly on heading and no searching. Every now and again i get a pretty firm opening but nothing too bad. I'm not sure how much of the difference in openings is to do with the removable slider or a change in the design but i'd be interested to find out if someone has been using a standard slider?

    This is how 99% of my openings are http://youtu.be/OdiylMQaC-g

  6. I've had the chance to try the SD version of this camera (X170) and it was awesome the only thing it was missing was video quality and now it's there with the HD version.

    I will be very suprised if this doesn't become more popular than the GoPro.

    It's got several useful features which i believe makes it better than the GoPro.

    - The Display so you can watch footage back on the camera
    - The ability to zoom in if the lens is too wide for you
    - A rotating lens so you can film upside down (ideal for head down)
    - Has a wireless remote to start/stop recording
    - I believe the shape makes it much better for top mounting as it can sit quite flush and less chance of snag. It also has the thread on the bottom for a screw.

    Having said that i havn't actually got my hands on the HD version yet but im sure i won't be dissapointed! If anyone has tried the HD version out in the air yet i would love to hear your opinions?

    Do you mean using the both video and stills at once is not great for tandems as i would of thought that the video footage would be great from this cam as tandem footage !!



    No this camera definitely can't do both at a quality for tandem. It's very good for just the video but the stills quality will not be good enough to sell but are great for facebook etc also you can only take about 10max a jump whilst shooting video.

  12. Ive got 100 jumps now on my sabre2, 80% of the time it opens on heading and i am yet to have line twists with it apart from one half twist. However every jump i do get minor end cell closure but this is no problem after 1 pump of the breaks.
