^^^^ what does that mean? lol can someone do a breakdown for this noob?

Thanks Terry! I have the set up pretty much ready to roll. I pretty sure that a foam insert under the camera will further cement the entire setup into place. It's a great lil design.

Kudos.

Just got one in the mail for a CX110. I see how it's designed to be set up but have a question regarding how snug everything needs to be.

The Filter Bushing rests in the circular cut out of the box pretty well but it still has a little (very little) movement.. is it supposed to be a Tight fit with zero movement? Just seems that lil bit could cause vibration while shooting.

Same deal with the Filter Bushing and the Step Ring.. Supposed to be a tight fit or is it okay to have that minimal wiggle?

Doesn't the G3 tighten with a draw sting in the back? If so... a cutaway system isn't really possible. just mount the camera with a nylon screw that will snap off should a snag with a line or riser occur.

200 jumps would be something to be recommended as well b4 doing camera jumps...


the cutaway systems work on latched/strapped closing helmets. I believe the G3 doesn't have one.

I have a hard time seeing any benefit from the pin and cutter being in contact with one another. I imagine a scenario where I have a main mal with a skyhook and wonder how the routing would be hindered because it would add additional packing mishaps with routing of the RSL/Skyhook Lanyard. I imagine a scenario where I have no RSL/Skyhook and the pull force need to slid the pin over the cutter and out of the loop would be increased or halted because of friction etc. Simply put you'd be adding more potential mishap opportunities with the manual/rsl/skyhook pin extraction process. Just my observations - it you can design something beyond my vision that'd appease those worries than rock n' roll!

^^^^ Exactly my plan. More altitude, more time, hope to never have to every use the darn thing.

Good choice on wings. Love mine.

Balls. I've been thinking of semi-retiring my Pilot and getting a Spectre (although larger than a 150) because my spine is roughly as old as you are. I'm reading this thread with considerable interest.
