  1. I tried with a camera yesterday. I got a some vignetting too. BTW what camcorder are you using with? I'm using a Sony HC32E and I can only start recording from PLAY/EDIT mode and menu only . That's difficult and slow .
  2. No. That's a student stuff, that's ain't cool. You know freeflying is cool so freeflyers should always look cool....
  3. Is the longer bridle really important? Does it help if you deploy from full flight?
  4. What is on the other side of the coin? A friend of mine got a premature opening during a freefly jump, because wrong kind of spandex was used for the BOC packet and the wind has blown his PC out. Result? Out of sequence deployment, cut-away, reserve ride. Of course not all the spandex BOC are the same
  5. Eh. non-collapsible ??? I would not use that on that WL.
  6. I don't think it would be a problem to learn how to fly F111/low cf canopies. It never knows when you have to fly a reserve. Prevous experience may save you from injuries.
  7. Thanks. It seems be a hit. They don't have it on the page, but I've contacted them. They sell a cable like that.
  8. You have just a single phase of flare with a F111/low cf canopy like Manta, they don't plane out. You have to execute 2 phased flare on hybrid/ZP canopies around WL 1.0 and over. For the record I had a broken fib on a Navigator220.
  9. Is there Sony A/V cable available with L shaped plug? I'd like to jump with a bullet camera and a Sony HC32E camcorder. Sony's special 10 pole plugs sticks out 90 degrees from the camcorders's body, it does not look safe for th camcorder. Any idea, suggestion?
  10. Sure! I don't want to teach by example.
  11. Really? I have not really noticed such a thing. edit: spelling
  12. Is that a similar trick to use one front riser and the opposite rear riser?
  13. I had a 32" PC trailing behind me about 10 times. It made a big difference. I'm sure I deserve it if I have one. Let me think: I check it 3-4 time only by packing.
  14. I'm sorry I've simplified a bit. So kill-line or not?
  15. Really? I had some problem with my kill-line PC, it was not collapsing. I got really poor and shitty landing those time. It can me difference even on a 168. Speed is flare power, why do you and to pull an anchor after yourself?
  16. There is a facebook on BASE fatality list.
  17. Can you still pull the riser through them? Can you post some pictures about them?
  18. Current regulation in Hungary: Using AAD is mandatory for FAI A,B license holders and students or under age of 18 or over the age of 50.
  19. Thats interesting. Have I stated thats the right thing to do? I'm trying to remember if I ever jump there. 1. I can not remember everything, but it could be a wing suit jump from C207 and it was a freefly 2-3 way before me. 2. So I was the last. 3. Planes flying VFR and they were notified that skydivers in the airspace by our pilot during that jump.
  20. I think the size of the load matters too.
  21. Would a bit lighter mounting of newton sight help the situation? I know things won't break if they suppose to...
  22. Have you used a special "swap"-bag for that? I had 30+ swaps so far. I made a swap bag for that. Risers are locked against the top of the bag and D-bag can not freely move inside the bag either. There is still a little risk of incorrect re-attachment, so I repacked it if I had time.
