fudd 0 #2 January 9, 2004 I would worry that a hard drive would not endure the beating it will get skydiving. Newer and smaller hard drives has becommed thougher over the years, so I could be mistaken. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

mr2mk1g 10 #3 January 9, 2004 apparently they dont work at altitude. the hard drive reader head rests on a tiny bed of air. at altitude the air is too thin for this to work and it quits. (so im told) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #5 January 9, 2004 Go see this thread. There's a great post from Wags on this subject and a lot of discussion over how well these things work. There was another thread arround the same time that I can't find just now. It contains a detailed account of this time when some guys from the manufacturer came out to the DZ to outfit a free fly team with 360 degree cameras feeding to a micro drive style recorder.... didnt work and they ended up doing the shoot with conventional cams. I'm not convinced their time has come quite yet in the world of skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
