Morne

Yes I did , just want to make sure. So it is the black circle edges?

Can you please give me an example of the type of vingetting I will get? Not real keen on gluing th lens mount..

Does anybody have a contour with the xtremevu lens protector with the 43mm adaptor? Have you used a wider lens on it? This is the lens I am looking at getting for my contour HD. Comes with a 37to43 adaptor also and not too badly priced. http://www.raynox.co.jp/english/video/hd5050pro/index.htm

HAHHAA and it has only begun...

or post some more sh!t on dz.com and flamed and maybe learn something.

um , im gonna go with NO, your wrong sorry. about both... Watching a video of a non swoop , you have NO idea of wind conditions , canopy WL , canopy type etc... Ever see one non swoop video that looks the same? You cant learn setup from watching a video. and the 250 and 1100cc thing.. 1100cc bikes are fken OLD , handling could never compare to a modern 250 , and hitting an apex isnt hard , since the apex can exist anywhere depending on your racing line. You can apex later sooner etc.

Good Choice! Check out the xtremvu mount if you havent already http://www.xtremevu.com/

But my point of the first post is that so little helmet have the option of a cutaway system. Which is somewhat concerning especially on purpose built camera helmets with the flat mounting surfaces and what not. The velcro in that situation will be better than a little plastic clip. but one has to make sure the snag hazard is as close too zero as possible.

Just curios , a riser slap on the top of your head? Im thinking about also putting some duct tape on the side of the mount to the helmet.

the velcro on a factory diver or oxygn will never be under load as far as i can see .

Tether can be cut away too. It works on a oxygn also.

So velcro just as good? If good ep's are used? Those plastic clips I understand are difficult to release under load . They were designed to take load and not release , have to go a bit "in" to release.

no

So they come recommended with cutaways , but some are only optional and with some (http://www.boneheadcomposites.com/m8/212--the-zeus-helmet.html) there is not a cut away system available. So does a normal clip or velcro tightening system count as a cutaway if you can get to it just as fast as a cutaway system? I have seen some cutaway systems that are very hard to get a grip on to pull. The velcro tightening system on a factory diver or oxygen for example just does the same if you practise the procedure to release the helmet?

XtremeVu... Your mount looks cool , but i would rather buy a purpose made and tested mount. Approved by 2 DZO's/CI's and various experienced camera persons. and no i dont jump it (dont feel like that converstion again)

wow amazing

http://www.xtremevu.com/ Canclamp. Costs a few $$ but its a sturdy , almost snag free mount , top of helmet and out the way.

wow , crazy scary.

I would like one of these to display. Who can ship these to South Africa?

Even if that history is correct, that still makes this a poor definition. It should be explained that what was called an intentional breakaway then is what is now called a pilot chute deployment. And then go on to give a modern definition for an intentional cutaway, which is something quite different from that original text. Yip thats the point

The definition of the intentional breakaway. http://inventors.about.com/od/pstartinventions/ss/Parachute_4.htm In 1890, Paul Letteman and Kathchen Paulus invented the method of folding or packing the parachute in a knapsack to be worn on the back before its release. Kathchen Paulus was also behind the invention of the intentional breakaway, which is when one small parachute opens first and pulls open the main parachute.

awesome

To the OP , Look up at your steering lines after you think they are unstowed to , you might just see they are not.

Just seems like more parts to maintain and malfunction. Iw ould rather make sure its packed well , and do a nice clear throw.

I dont think that is the best idea , you want the whole bridle out when you throw , and with the bridle in the very tight bridle cover , you throwing wont pull it all the way out. I see a stuck bridle scenario with the pilot chute flailing around in the air pocket on your back. Maybe if you make a point of pulling the bridle out with the throw. But I wouldnt take the chance.
