So who's jumped both and what are your opinions? I will demo both when I get the chance but for now I'm stuck having to live vicariously through other peoples experiences not having jumped much in the past 6 months. Children in the dark cause accidents, accidents in the dark cause children.

It was set to pro, the unit still confirmed the pro setting after activation. It will be interesting to see what Vigil comes back with, I'm suspecting a faulty unit as oppose to actually reaching activation speeds with that setup. I'll post the data once received from Vigil.

So last weekend my Vigil 2 fired as I was rolling out of my landing turn, luckily I was in level flight when I felt the reserve begin to inflate and landed safely. 2008 Vigil 2 set to PRO, Velo 103 @ 2.1, 270 degree turn from 750 feet. The DZ is at sea level and the Vigil was turned on there that morning. I made 4 jumps earlier in the day using that same turn for landing without issues. I know there's other cases where AAD's have fired while swooping but always thought they were caused by big turns. Has anyone heard of issues with 270's before? Is a speed Cypress the only option? I'll see what Vigil says when they inspect the unit. Children in the dark cause accidents, accidents in the dark cause children.

Thanks for the info. I'm a NZ and Australian citizen so visas won't be an issue. By the time I head down I'll have all my ratings, around 1000 jumps total, 300 camera but likely less than 100 tandems. Can I realistically find an instructor position or will I have to start on a packing mat waiting for a slot to open up? Thanks Children in the dark cause accidents, accidents in the dark cause children.

What are the requirements for aff/tandem/videot in NZ and Oz? What are the popular manufacturer ratings for tandem down there? Do they still do outside video or will I need handcam exp? I'm looking at getting ratings and some experience in the US then heading down under to instruct full time. Any advice would be appreciated.
