froglady 0 #1 April 16, 2002 Due to neck surgery to remove herniated disks. I can no longer put alot of weight on my head. So I got the Aircam from Headhunter, using it with my PC110. I'm having a problem with it, when I point the lens at the sun the whole image goes crazy. Also I'm getting a yellow ring around clouds. I tried puting a filter in front of the lens that didn't help. Any ideas? Anyone else have this same video set up.FrogLady Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markbaur 0 #5 April 16, 2002 Can you get your money back?My wife bought that set-up from Headhunter because she was concerned about neck injuries. The digital recorder was okay, and because it was separate from the camera, sighting was really easy.Unfortunately, the lipstick camera itself had very poor auto-irising. The camera might have been acceptable for security applications, and maybe even for something like downhill skiing, but it didn't work well for the fast lighting changes in skydiving. Short of replacing it (major expense) and reworking the helmet mount to accept a different camera (major pain), there was no solution. Lynne also had problems with condensation on the lens, even on clear days. Headhunter's response was "We don't have a problem with that in southern California." That was when they finally did respond to numerous attempts to contact them. Carefully drilling some holes to allow air circulation around the lens fixed that problem -- without Headhunter's help.The helmets (yes, she bought two) were also poorly made.On the other hand, it's been several years, so maybe things have improved. I hope so.Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psw097 0 #6 April 16, 2002 You broke your neck? Eh, gad and we were just doing 4-way 2 days ago. Does this mean I can freefly the next couple weeks instead of practice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
