All, thanks for the info. I suppose Byron is closest and most-visited DZ of all mentioned. Probably, it is the closest to Santa Clara as well? I'll probably rent a car for a day, to get to the DZ, so it makes it more convenient if the DZ is closer. :) Re GravityGirl: I jump a 150 Impulse (Atair). All in all, I am looking for 2-6 fun jumps (RW, FF) with some of you, local guys and gals. Hope to see you there - somwhere :) Miha

Cool! I guess I will be arriving on the 25th (if not sooner). So, if I come sooner (23rd, maybe 24th), then I'll be there! If not, I'll come anyway (I guess Byron dropzone is recommended in this way :)). Any info on bringing my own gear? (can I borrow it for a couple of jumps -- what is the price for that, if anyone knows)? Thanks, Miha.

Hi! I'll be in Santa Clara, CA, in the second half of September. I'd like to make a skydive or two :)) (I am licensed), so recommendations are welcome. Which dropzone to go to? Does it make sense to bring my own equipment (I am coming from Europe ;))? Blue skies, Miha.

Hi! I'm new to camera flying and I have a question. I made my own platform on the helmet and mounted a 35mm SLR (film) on it. Just made 3 jumps with it but have no eyesight, just my own manufactured release switch. The questions really are, what kind of helmets do you usually jump? Do you use chin cups to fasten the helmet? What kind of helments? Eyesights? And last, but not the least, what kind of settings do you use? Since I don't have digital, I don't know what the metering says at the taking stage. So, one roll was with f/8 and I think that was too slow. ISO 100. Thanks for the answers, Miha.
