    actually the sony .6 is a little wider than most .5 lenses. Probably more like a .43 or something like that. I know a few poeple that use them with good results.

    I agree, I did the exact same thing when I was a student. I didn't know they would fire with a good canopy.

    You could get one small enough and glue it to the center of your alti.

    I usually stay right on level with the tandem during deployment just to get the "oh shit" look and then just watch the opening. On exit, I usually do rear float and try to stay as close as possible. I've seen lots of good results with people comming off head down/ on their back underneath them, so that will probably be my new exit. During freefal, I just fly around them and do whatever I think would give the best shot depending on the lighting conditions, cloud levels, the students reactions, etc. I will usually grab the students hands if they are relaxed and having fun. The ones that are scared or arent moving much, I just do what I can to get a good shot. I dont have a routine, just becuase there are several different TM's that I jump with and they all have different things they like to do. As far as some of the options of the poll safety always comes first. If the TM is strugling with a bad student, they I will keep my distance.

    I am trying to top mount my video on my batrack and need a small quick release. Its a bottom loading TRV. I dont want to use a box so that I can have access to all the camera functions if i need to. Does someone make such a thing? I want to ealily be able to get the tape out after i land.

    Look at the TRV 19. I just got a used one for $140 with a batter, remote, charger, and 2 firewire cables

    enforce a mandatory compression to your liking.. Make everyting wmv or xvid or whatever you want. If would also make viewing the movies a lot easier on the users since they would only need one codec/player.

    wait till you get more jumps cause by then there will be something better/newer avaliable!
  18. Dokeman
    I dont have many camera jumps, but I cant see needing one unless you jump with a lot of shit on your helmet. And if you are prone to neck problems or already have them, probably best just not to jump with a camera.

    Conceptus switches come with a lifetime warranty I think. I had to send my tounge switch back a few weeks ago and their service was great. They sent me out a brand new one the same day they got mine back. Havent had any problems with the new one yet.

    sweet, thanks!

    ebay. im pretty sure any remote for a sony camera will work.
  22. Dokeman
    Anyone know where I can get one. Anybody have one to sell? Why dont they still make these or something close to it?
  23. Dokeman
    yea, i dont think they have cutaway systems. I could have sworn I have seen a pictures of someones helmet set up like I want. Just cant remember where.
  24. Dokeman
    I didnt get the kit. I didnt even know there was one.

    I have a rawa now, but I am wanting to top mount both video and stills. Has anyone seen/made a plate or anything to do this? Ideally I want to get a batrack, but they arent made anymore.
