PhreeZone 20 #2 July 23, 2008 Read the stickey in this forum first. Then in about 150 jumps or so start out with video. Once you have video figured out and mastered add on the stills.

pilotdave 0 #3 July 23, 2008 Unfortunately the only camera that works for skydiving is this one: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=15710. It's a bit pricey, but it takes a really high quality camera to survive freefall and opening shock. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
