I demo'd a Pilot and loved it....all except for the openings. They were great for 'regular' skydives...however a bit too brisk for my liking while flying camera. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Bingo! Besides, like it or not, all world competitions are conducted in PAL. So, if I were to qualify to be on a National Team who went to a world competition I'd have to buy a new video camera (or two), all in PAL format. Even thought I live in the U.S. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Lucky you. I've already been contracted to shoot a team there tomorrow. I go if I don't get an abort call before leaving my house early in the morning. I'd much rather sleep in... Maybe the famous 'Elsinore Hole' will protect us? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Yes, this is true. I wish all teams I shot believed in this. However, if there is danger underneath the aircraft (i.e. and unseen plane coming underneath our jump aircraft, or something else we don't know that the pilot is alerted to) an assist back into the plane just -may- be necessary. It was our policy last year, with the team I flew with, that once climbed out we -went-. I never had to climb back in. This year, however, it has happened to me once already. And the one who called the shot was our pilot...and the coach who was player/coach on the team I was filming. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Yes. Thank you. And something I had to educate the team I flew with last Saturday. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

What's the name of the new skydiver song?
ltdiver replied to Superfletch's topic in Photography and Video
Google searching can bring up some strange things. I typed in your lyrics and came up with this song. btw, you might get more hits if this was moved to the Bonfire forum. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon -
Best sex=after an incredible day of skydiving. Best sleep=after that incredible sex after that wonderful day of incredible skydiving.

Perris can do from 50 to 70 tandems in a weekend day. They have 2 dedicated editors who trade off on weekends. One is a wuffo. The other one just had her 30th birthday bash. :^) However, a 20-40 tandem day is still a big operation, IMHO. If a cameraflyer is editing he would usually use his own camera to do so. If an editor was to sit there and grab tapes and let the cameraflyer go right back up again I'd vote for a dedicated Sony minidv player to dubb from. Let them buy it. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Don't think so. Besides, the pictures that come off a video camera's memory stick are only worth fun e-mailing amongst friends. Not suitable for printing. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

LOL! Really Chris?! He can do all that for you? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Well, you might try what another friend inspired me to do (instead of the ice cream). He bought me a large helping of cashews (like a 2 liter amount). This worked really well...plus I supplemented this with BoostPlus. This along with my healthy eating habits. I ate the cashews when wanting a snack (like when sitting at this computer) and drank a BoostPlus between meals.

Yes, I know this. However, if a DZ is planning on hiring a full-time editor then I would expect them to pay for the editing equipment. Including the player. At most operations the cameraflyer does all the dubbing themselves, and play directly from their own camera. I grew up on one where the cameraflyer not only dubbed onto a tv/video recorder combo and used a cassette player for the music. And....at the same time this was going on did the tandem pack jobs between loads. On a large DZ (and this is why I asked the original poster what size his DZ is) just the tandems alone would burn out a video camera very quickly. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I used to have that predicament. I consulted with a nutritionist and determined that my diet was appropriate. So....she counseled that I should consume (in addition to my current intake) ice cream! At least once/day. Must have worked...I went from 135 to 150 lbs in 2 years. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Hey Laurie! You and Bret know how to host one hell of a party!! There certainly was absolutely no wiggle room once the party got hopping! Everyone cheering, betting, drinking...and hey...no bouncers!! Remind me next time to NOT book an early morning after one of your shindigs! I would have stayed and shut the party down with ya'll. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Nope. Was out to dinner with a friend instead. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

You list your home DZ as Carolina Sky Sports. How large is this DZ? IMO, the DZ should buy their own editing system, including the player you'll be dubbing from. It should not be a personal purchase. Secondly, putting a camera through the thrashing it would recieve in being the primary player would wear it out quickly. If the DZ wants to set up a recording studio it should buy that camera. But better yet a tape player (not a camera). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

That's great! I, too, have signed my donor card. Take what they want, then bury the rest. I won't need it. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

For those of you who knew him, skydiver and stuntman Brady Michaels (Micheal Brady), this article is amazing. Earlier this year Times Magazine ran an article on his heart recipient, Bill Wohl, who is now an avid sportman and cyclist. A complete life change from the stuck-in-the-rut businessman he used to be. Take a read of something amazing. http://www.dailystar.com/dailystar/dailystar/63240.php ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

There's also a current board game floating around that's listed answer is that skydivers don't have to breath 'cause they fall fast enough for the oxygen to go through their skin.

First off...try not to SHOUT in your posts. I know some are hard of hearing...but.... Second...I see you're new to posting so let me direct you to the 'Search' at the bottom of the page. Type in there something that you're looking for and I'll bet there'll be over 100 entries on music and skydiving for you to browse through.
