  1. I use a semi-stoweless dbag in my Infinity. I called the rigging department at UPT, told them what canopy I was putting in it, and they told me what size to order. The dbag sizes are based on volume, but the dimensions are for a Vector. I just got one that was close, it works perfectly.

    PS: A single dbag is sized to work in multiple sizes of Vectors. If you are picky, UPT will give you the exact dimensions of the dbag.

  3. I put three jumps on a funk this past weekend. It's rock solid on it's back. Decent glide that's adjustable via the arm and leg vents. Getting off your back takes a larger, more aggressive movement than other suits I've flown. Head down carving is super easy, both in facing and out facing. This could be a great all-around suit. Close the vents: Flocking, open the vents: flippy doos and (pun intended) funky stuff.

    I've been holding on to my P3 because of it's versatility. I'm 95% sure I'm ordering a funk to replace the P3.

  8. I absolutely love mine. I load mine decently, 1.7ish on a 150. When it was in my old rig (early V3, older style dbag, way to small for the dbad with zpx), there were a couple times where I got several line twists. Once when the risers were offset in the twist by several inches. It just keep flying like it should. Since I put it in an new Infinity container (properly sized) with a birdman bridle and a UPT semi-stowless dbag, I don't get any line twist any more. Every now and then I'll get half a line twist that I am already coming out of when the canopy fully inflates.

  12. YMMV, use at your own risk...

    Pic1:
    * Red Circles: Snipped the tabs in the on zoom control and zoom speed. Set it to W and Off
    * Blue Circles: Power and Record buttons.
    * Green Lines: External push button mounted in helmet.

    Pic 2:
    * Pink Line: Postive to LEDs
    * Yellow Line: Negative to LED1
    * Light Blue Line: Negative to LED2

    I used hot glue on all connection points as they are pretty fragile. I then wrapped then entire thing in clear heat shrink to protect it. I reused a spare Hypeye LED indicator. The Hypeye has it's black wire as positive, the red wire as negative for the red LED, and the yellow wire as the negative for the blue LED. I mounted two SPST momentary push buttons for power and record so that they could be quickly accessed while wearing the helmet. You will have to sort our which of the negative LED connections are which because I don't remember off hand. I will post up some pics later of the completed mod.

  18. While not a camera suite, my Bev RW suite has ~4 inch "wings" with swoop cords. The part of the swoop cord that goes over my hand is about 6 inches. With adjustment, it does not tighten over my hand, but allows the wing to catch air like a camera suite/jacket. I can easily get it off of my hand. In fact, after deployment and clearing my air space, I slip off the swoop cord after every jump.

  24. The problem I find with using SSD for video production is that I don't find hard drives to be the bottleneck when rendering customer videos. A Western Digital Black or Seagate Baracuda provides enough bandwidth. The CPU is really the most important part in my opinion. In addition, we keep our source and rendered videos stored for some time. With the limited space available on a SSD, we would blow through that pretty quickly. They are very fast, and great upgrade. But personally, I think spending the extra money on a faster processor would be a better investment.
