  11. My brand new REvolve full face helmet has just been tested under the most cold conditions I’ve ever jumped below 14k! I would like to thank BH for providing me with one of the best skydiving helmets I’ve owned, since hat shop to factory diver, oxygen to Z1 and Mamba. God, it was cold! But REvolve just has some good new ideas that make it probably the best amongst the others. Beginning with some extraordinary good padded inside cushions, that not only keep your ears warm and protected, but also provide excellent noise reduction during the way up. Oh! Did I mentioned that we don’t have to take the helmet off? Yes, that’s right, the full face helmet becomes totally clear face when the chin protection and visor comes all the way up! And that’s a major advantage when you need to agree on something inside the plane, especially with a RW team or even a student to brief. More advantages that might not be noticed unless you skydive often with a RW team trying to reach higher on points (going crazy sometimes) is the fact that the chin protection is one of the best and strongest I’ve tried. Yes, I’m the one that managed to destroy two flip up lens on the Z1 (nearly got myself blind on one with the broken slices of shredded glass/plastic!), on a hasty approach to tail’s boot(ies) in block 2 (I’m point, going around as close and fast as I can…) and also the Mamba’s visor got open twice on head to head bumps with OC. Apart from all those improvements, REvolve looks tough and aggressive, the way I like a helmet to be, comfortable and easy to operate, has both sides pockets to hold your audible devices, a discrete chin strap with all the extras you need to personalize your head adjustments, an easy removable lock to release the visor which also locks automatically when lowering it (and that’s also a big advantage as you don’t have to worry much when getting ready to exit and just want to lower it on the last second…) and the most effective lens I’ve ever seen on skydiving helmets. Narrow, as in strong, easy to replace, only two attachment screws, huge field of view (that matters on RW, especially if you’re point and have to fly backwards all the time…) and did I mentioned comfort? Yes, I guess so. No longer I have to go spitting or blowing my nose inside the helmet (yes, that’s disgusting, isn’t it?) after deploying the canopy. What about for landing and walking to the packing area? No longer having to carry the helmet on one hand, or just balancing it on the top of my head (risking letting him crash on the ground) or just for wasting time when on a back to back jump. For all of that and for supporting our REvolving Atmosfera Portugal G4 Team THANK YOU VERY MUCH BONE HEAD! Blue skies from the westernest country in Europe!

  14. Hello, If you are worried about the weight, take a look at the Ricoh Digital photo camera models. You can find some post about this subject on the forum. For example: Ricoh GXR/GX200 Camera body, Approx 200 g vs Canon 550D Approx. 530g, without lens. See more in this link, http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3831849;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Ricoh website. http://www.ricoh.com/r_dc/professional.html Nuno Lobo Paulo Skydive Ultimate Switch . www.ultimate-switch.com Email: [email protected] Phone: 00351 919 327 315
  15. Hello all, As promised, I already finish and shipped the first Skydive Ultimate Switch (blow switch) adapted to a Ricoh camera model (new and very light cameras) If some one want to make it, is very easy. With this setup you can use your bite, tongue or blow switch (all models). 1– Buy the remote control (Ebay) or use the original one (my option is buy a new one from China manufacture) 2 – Open the remote and remove the AAA power battery; 3 – Search the electronic “touch switch/button” 4 – Soldering a 3 wired cable (My example: yellow + white and red on other terminal) 5 – Make the proper connections for your switch model… 6 - Test 7 - Close the LR remote and put the AAA battery oon the right place. This is a micro switch, be careful with the soldering work.

  18. Hello, It seems that this new Sony camera don't have a wired remote port or remote USB release config. For my, the best choice for filming is the NEX-5 with a Sony E 16/2.8 lens kit, light and smaller. For shooting (without wire remote) is NEX-5 with the Sony E 18-55/3.5-5.6 lens.

  22. Hello, I’m a CANONite. I use all Canon equipment for skydive or ground work. Canon 7D, 350D, 1000D and 450D, and a lot of lens. As I can read, some Douglas friend can’t use is Nikon D300 or D300s for skydive ? As I now, is possible to use a blow, tongue or bite switch with this model. See the attach files, and user manual link. This camera model (Nikon D300 and D300s) use the conventional 10-pin plug, easy to prepare for the skydive uses.
