SkyFlyer

Dan- I just got a 95 Cobalt loaded 1.8 with a 22" ZP PC. Have you had any issues with the small PC flopping in the burble? I pitch hard and dump in a track so don't envision problems but thought I'd ask. Also, any specific things to watch when winging it with the Cobalt? (Oh, love my Troll too.) Baxter.

Any place online/phone in US that sells the stroboframe QR? Thanks.

Thanks. This will just be for my personal shots either Skydiving or BASE. I'm just trying to find a camera that is reliable, has the necessary features for jumping (auto-wind etc.) and is moderately priced.

I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before but indulge me here... is there one still camera that is better for jumping (top mounted on a camera helmet) than others? Thanks!

Yuri- Can you elaborate on the types of body positions that you tried? What gave you the best vertical flight, what did that position feel like i.e. what was the sensation when you were in the position. Congrats on pushing wingsuit analysis even further! Baxter.

Good choice. I have both an Atomex GTi and a BalloonZP SkyFlyer. I definitely like the Atomex in the Winter time in the South.

I saw Bill Stemple using that set up in Norway last Summer and it looked like it worked well. Did you put velcro on the slit in the suit for jumps where you're not wearing it? Has anyone tried to use Jason Bell's design with a wingsuit? I've BASEed the Dual Raptor but haven't winged it with one.

Chuck- we want to see a photo of that new SkyFlyer you've been talking about! Just got mine a few weeks ago and it is a blast! Baxter.

Thanks for the suggestions. I bought a PC120 from Tri-State Camera and got a good price and good service. (hopefully) Fingers are crossed...

Now that I have finally decided on which camera to buy, can anyone recommend a good vendor for Sony camcorders that has low prices and good service?

Great! You can't beat a day of flying and making new friends.

Thanks Dan, I'd be very interested in your findings. I just got a Morpheus Tech Gargoyle with Dynamic Corners (and a Troll you'll be happy to know) so I obviously believe that deployment is helped by opening the tray but would like to see the video to confirm.

There will be demo wingsuits suits and coaching at Skydive Monroe's Casa Boogie this weekend (5/17-5/19). Go to www.skydivemonroe.com for directions. Blue Skies/Puffy Clouds.

I was really interested in the modification, similar to what Wings is doing, of removing (I think) of the bar tack at the bottom of the container so that upon deployment, the bag comes out of the container easier. I didn't know if anyone had done this themselves and what the result had been.

I'm interested to know what mods you experienced wingsuit pilots have made to your skydiving containers and what you think about the new advances on BASE rigs like "dynamic corners". Blue Skies/Puffy Clouds p.s. Great forum Chuck!

I jumped with her at the GSL meet two weeks ago and I'm definitely keeping her family and friends in my prayers...

Just my opinion but... it is hard to learn to sit fly with just pants unless you add a very baggy top in which case you might as well have a suit. The suit will be a little hotter in the Summer but will increase drag making control-ablility easier and will be more versitle for all types of freeflying. I have both pants and suit and only wear the pants in the Summer when just doing headdown. Look at what Flyboyz, Olav etc. are wearing... Blue ones.

Thanks. Digital Origin, which I found on the link you provided, has a seemingly good system called "Intro DV" designed for first time editors looking to do fairly basic stuff. (Here is their link: http://digitalorigin.media100.com/products/introdv/specs.html Thanks again.

Hey! I put this post on the "Photography Board" but figured that most people go to this section first so I'll aske the same question here: What type of video editing software would you guys recommend for editing on a computer from my PC-5? I don't need to do anything real fancy but would like to do some digital editing. Thanks for the advice.

I know this issue has been discussed before but what video editing software would you guys recommend for computer editing from a PC-5? Thanks for the help.
