  1. Hi! I ordered some switches from them last November and it was top notch. His name is Martin and I used [email protected]. Hope it helps! NuBa.
  2. Did you mean to say electronic image stabilization? No, I meant OIS, because it doesn't have OIS it should be okay for Skydiving, like the CX200 and CX210 (although these two also don't have a filter thread). The previous series all had OIS and they weren't suitable for Skydiving, like the CX160: http://www.gethypoxic.com/reviews-tests-hacks/reviews/77-sony-cx160-tests.html NuBa.
  3. Hi Nathalie, It seems that although the CX190 doesn't have Optical Image Stabilisation which makes it good for Skydiving, it also doesn't have a filter thread to put a wide angle lens which makes it very difficult to use. There is a possible mod that can be done to attach a filter thread to it but it's not a simple process. You can check it here: http://www.gethypoxic.com/reviews-tests-hacks/hacks-and-mods/90-cx200.html For the time being it seems that the CX 110/115/116/150/155 are still the best options if you can find one! NuBa.
  4. Hi Guys, What bracket/plate do you guys use/recommend for the Canon t3i/600d that can be top mounted on a Zkulls? If you use anything to protect the camera please do tell as well. Thanks! NuBa.
  5. Do you think the Sensor-shift image stabilization might be a problem in the Olympus for stills? I don't think image stabilization is a problem with stills, right? On the other hand it seems to use EIS for video and can be turned off so that should also be okay for video, no? NuBa.
  6. But even with the 2,0 crop factor, the 14mm lens should be equivalent to the 18mm that comes standard with the Canon 550D or the 600D for example, right? Although it might not be perfect it should be okay for normal use, no? The new Samsungs also look great and all have the remote plug. I looked at the Samsung NX100 a while back and it also seemed to be an option. NuBa.
  7. Hi Guys! I've been looking into aerial photography and researching a lot about the topic. One of the things that I would prefer to have in a camera would be a small form factor but that also has all the important features for skydiving. I've seen a few posts regarding the mirrorless, four thirds cameras mainly because they are really small and seem to have similar quality than the more common Compact DSLRs. There seems to be some guys using Sony NEXs but the mod for the trigger doesn't look very easy to do. The Olympus PEN series has been mentioned in some older posts and with the new E-PM1 I would like to know if has anyone tried this camera for skydiving? From what I've seen/read it is very small and light, comes with a 14-42 lens that should be okay for tandems and similar work, has a remote plug and should even do nice 1080p video. Possible issues seem to be the battery/SD slot underneath and really close to the tripod mount. Am I missing something essential or should this be a lightweight option to consider? Thanks! NuBa.
