davelepka 4 #26 June 23, 2004 ***If a freefly suit is baggy enough to slow a flier down to 95, it will be very problematic for that same flier in that suit to get to 140, belly-to-earth, cheststrap showing on a passenger in a Vector harness. ===================================== If you're wearing a freefly suit, and you need to do 140, freefly. The shot looks the same if the camera flier is belly to earth, or sit/back flying, so whats the difference (except that freeflying is more fun)?

jdhill 0 #27 June 23, 2004 You must have some fairly robotic camera wing flyers around your parts... if those are the only shots they are getting... none of that stuff is hard to do in wings...

jdhill 0 #29 June 24, 2004 OK, to put things back on track... If you want to get into the video rotation at your DZ you need to do a few things... 1) find out what your DZ requires in terms of experience, equipment, etc... Talk to whomever is running the video concession to get this info... 2) Don't go be behind the video concession's back... you may end up with your ass kicked or thrown off a DZ, and at ther very least, not in the rotation. 3) If a concession requires a camera suit, get one, or be prepared to prove you can get the shots they want without one, every time. 4) You may have to pay your dues, doing unpaid jumps for practice... then "try-sells"... then filling in when needed... all before you get into the rotation... the practice jumps and "try-sells" should be done with the permission of all involved (Concession/DZO, TI, Student). This all takes time... just because you straped a camera to your head, does not give you the right to be in the rotation.
