Freakflyer804 0 #1 December 27, 2003 Ok since i have been in Iraq since last FEB, i thought as a gift to myself (when I get back) i am going to buy a new camera and helmet. I was looking at the sony PC-105... any thoughts ( it will be used to video FFing and the occational tandem and belly jump) I should also mention that this will be my PRE-second camera helmet. I want a side mount... any suggestions about the camera OR the helmet set-up would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again and blue skys to all -Scott-------------------------------------------------- What doesn't kill you... only requires brief hospitalization!!

MichaelBess 0 #2 December 28, 2003 Any of the Sony PC series are very good cameras for most skydiving preferences. I have a PC-100 for every day and a VX-2000 for my more critical stuff. Be sure to get a good mount for your camera, as well as a good fitting helmet. To shoot good video (without annoying camera shake) you must have a good fitting helmet. The other things I would look into are: A Lanc switch to turn on your camera and to tell you it's on, a good quality ring site such as the ones Brent sells at: http://www.brentfinley.com/store.htm, and a good quality wide angle (I use a .5) lens. Remember before you expect to sell a video to someone the quality has to be there. Seek out a video mentor at or near you home DZ to give you some pointers. Have them review your videos. Read everything you can get your hands on. Be SAFE! Then have fun! Practice! practice! practice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
