  1. Thanks for your responce. I've never been to Bridge Day, I can see how it could be a different atmosphere than a small group of jumpers ( make trouble, leave trash/evidence = get busted = burn site ). I don't doubt that both jumpers ( maybe a couple ) and the general public participated in the problems, BUT the jumpers will get the Black Eye. I guess next year will be the deciding factor. Be Safe.
    Life is short ... jump often.

  2. I could be miss quoting, but I heard the complaint put out by the NPS is that the "Sound" of an opening canopy bothers hikers and campers and anyone who may be in the middle of a tree hug. Infringing on their rights to peace and quiet. Then, of course, they would have to watch us flying around for 10 or 20 seconds. Hopefully they aren't hanging around under the Big Walls when a climber tosses their bag of shit down in the bio-degradeable bag. A practice OK'd by the park, of course ( isn't that 'Delivery by Air'...? ) Are BASE jumpers that rude ? I never thought so. See you at the exit point.

  3. I've been jumping Lincoln lately and heard about the ban. I was taught, by ED, that when you exit, you look back to the landing area, to get your berings. Then at the next turn, you look at the landing area again How hard is that ? If you can't find it at exit, you can't find it later, so don't fly away from your situation into a worse spot. The landing area is 20 feet from a four lane freeway and two criss-crossing runways..........? My Mom could see that from altitude, and she's 80 yrs. old....Yes ED, I'm wingsuiting the 182L. in my Vampire 2, and Shadow. Mike H......Grass Valley

  4. RedLine's video guy has a double video cam helmet set up, I think he does one wide shot and one tight shot. Maybe he could help on one of his jumps. Two cx-110 or 100..... zoomed equally, and using your other perameters.

  5. Just like to say, mine has worked fine for about a hundred jumps now, but I got it out of the first batch of 1000 this year. I got it from Chutingstar. Best delivery time I've ever seen from any company.

  6. I have a cx-110. It does the same thing in "Active", now I have it in "Standard" and it doesn't vibrate picture (that's how I describe it). I've used "off" before also, and that is fine too. Another anomoly happened once though. I turned it on, getting to the DZ to set my focus for the day, and none of the focus settings would react (all blury), not auto-focus, spot, or manual. Anybody seen that. My Hypeye D was plugged in at the time.
