  1. The NEX 5TL does not work with Trunks Multi Terminal port but Sony just launched a new mirrorless camera and I think (confirm with Trunk) that it would work the adapter. The new mirrorless has the 'worlds fastest auto focus' and can shoot at 11 fps :) I am going to look into this camera more since my 5TL did not work. http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/live-coverage-sony-a6000-officially-announced/
  2. ********** @pullwhat ********* I just found out the hard way that the Sony NEX 5TL does not work with the "Sony Multi Terminal to 2.5mm Adapter". I just got my "Sony Multi Terminal to 2.5mm Adapter" in the post . I didnt work This is the reply I got from Chuting star:
  3. "This is a private video. Do you have permission to watch it? If so please provide the correct password." Anyone have a password?
  4. The Sony NEX 5TL http://www.chutingstar.com/skydive/sony-nex-5tl-digital-camera-with-16-50mm-lens wont need hard mod hack if you willing to spend $90 on the "Sony Multi Terminal to 2.5mm Adapter" http://www.chutingstar.com/skydive/sony-multi-terminal-to-2-55-mm-adapter
  5. The post is what put me off IR triggers (I don't want to start hacking electrical things) - what IR remotes do you use? http://forum.mflenses.com/diy-timer-shutter-release-for-sony-nex-for-timelapse-etc-t53598.html
  6. Thats the first thing I tried 1. I first registered an account with my primary email address, and said I was from SA. As soon as I did that they kicked me out with the region error. I was unable to login after that (even to change my region) as the site would kick me out straight away. 2. I then thought I would be clever and use my work email, and say that I am from the UK. All good, it did not kick me out. I attempted to topup my wallet with my credit card. The transaction failed immediately. Dam they must be validating the billing address. 3. Now I am thinking I am more clever than these guys... I will just topup the 'wallet' with my pay-pal - that way they do not see my billing address on my CC. I do that, the payment goes through - sweet , but wait, a few seconds later I get a notification from my bank that it has been reversed. They must be doing some validation on my pay-pal Lots of googling later, someone suggests that I find a USA address, and create a pay-pal account with the US address. Have not tried that yet but... Sony really do not want timelapse of African sunsets. I briefly googles IR too, but started reading about electrical hack jobs required and gave up...
  7. Hi guys, So I bought myself a Sony NEX 5TL
  8. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc0_1383108297 I think I would be a bit pissed off if my TI started praying

  11. Thanks for the info guys, think I will go with Cordura
  12. Does anyone know the pros and cons? Cordura seems to be more popular. Besides Cordura having a lot more color options, what are the other differences? Someone at my DZ has 2 rigs - one Cordura, one Ballistic. Even though the ballistic rig was a lot older, it looked much newer and better condition (not sure on jump numbers on the 2)? Thanks Mark
  13. Thanks for the vids. Is there one for Aerodyne?
  14. Awesome vid. Its got me excited. Im thinking of moving over to the UK, just so that I can hit the windtunnels :) Any idea on how much you spent on 20 hours? Im guessing alot of the time was shared with other flyers and not all of it was coached?
  15. Im sure its tongue in cheek, especially with all the smileys... But, more importantly, who actually gives a shit? Shouldn't this be in the bonfire or something?
  16. Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this (I still don't understand what this speakers corner is for :) ) Check out this video of this amazing campaign in South Africa - Skydive for Rhinos, dedicated to help save our rhinos which are on the way to extinction :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4smEcyuiVc There is a whole write up on the actual video so you can read more info there if you like.
  17. According to Laverne, she was not pushed out - http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/video/7332367-80-year-old-falls-out-of-parachute-harness-after-jump/
  18. I cant seem to find a recent thread on this so lets start a new one.
  19. Anyone got links to cool vids of videographers in action? 3rd eye on the 3rd eye as it were
  20. Does anyone outside of Europe have any experience with Skylark? Do they have an english speaking dealer? 250 USD for that suit is looking good to me. I tried mailing them but no reply yet (ok so only mailed yesterday, but im impatient
