Dokeman 0 #1 January 5, 2006 On average, how many still pictures are you taking during a normal tandem video jump? And also what camera are you using. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vdschoor 0 #2 January 6, 2006 In total between 60-100, about 30-40 in freefall.. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwabd1 0 #3 January 6, 2006 film = 25 digital = 45 avg.

jtval 0 #7 January 6, 2006 20-25 in freefall depends on how many I take on the ground. I use a FILM elph with APS. it ponly holds 25 pictures. I use them all , usually before the student lands. I rarely get landing stillsMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billo 0 #8 January 7, 2006 i'd say 60-80 pics, with more than half of those being exit/freefall/deployment. shooting 20D w/ canon 20mm f/2.8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ripcords 0 #9 January 7, 2006 You can get a 40 exposure roll of aps film for your elph or be less tongue happy so the tandems can have landing shots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #10 January 8, 2006 I'd rather take them all in freefall,actually. I can not hear the film clicking away so I don't actually know if they take or not. I REALLY like getting to the ground and seeing the big ZERO on the picture counterMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyandinnocent 0 #11 January 23, 2006 Normally around 80-90 from exit to landing on Rebel large. fine setting, but delete the not so good shots, so the customer walks away with around 70.... It's never too late for a low turn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #12 January 23, 2006 i think most tandem students see a tandem jump as a all experience not only freefall,i think they would be more happy to get some ground shots aswell Stay safe Stefan Faber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #13 January 24, 2006 so do I but I won't sarcifice the shots in the air just to get the landing shots. MOST of the time they get the video along with it. out of the100 - 150 tandems I filmed I can count on one hand those who ONLY got stills. I film the jump anyway and they can decide if they want the vid. I tell them that I didnt get any landing shots before they leave so they know what to expect. its all I can do..so thats all I doMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
