Really great DZ. Very nice skydivers there. The facilities are really great (never seen such good showers on a dropzone). Many freeflyers. Tubes... Only con is that you have to cross the runway after landing to get to the hangar.

thanks :)

Hey everyone, today I published my new freefly-video blopp 3. Downloadable here: http://www.tobitronic.com/spruenge/videos/blopp3.avi First two parts also available on the page. blues

I have a tamron and the zenitar fisheye lens. Before the problem appeared I changed both lenses and the camera didn't stopped working. So the battery status is also flashing on your camera and it stops working in freefall?

Hi, I got a problem with my Canon Rebel or EOS 300 as it is called here in Germany (NOT digital). I go in freefall and make some pictures (tongue switch). Then it seems to turns off (sometimes after 2 but normally after 5-10 pictures). Back on the ground I see that it has turned off and battery status is flashing. I turn it on again, remove the tongue switch (there is no difference when it is still in there) and try to shot some pictures. The shutter opens but doesn't close. I need to push the button a second time to close the shutter. Replacing of batteries makes no difference. This lasts until the film is rewinded (or at its end). With a new film and the same batteries there is no problem on the ground. The batteries are full and the shutter closes/opens properly. Don't know what to do. Until now the camera worked fine (well only shot 7/8 films before the problem appeared). My settings are Tv mode with shutter speed of 350 or 500, manual zoom. I use ISO 200 films. The batteries are new. Please advise Thanks

Hi, thanks first. Have already read that thread but it mostly deals with polarized filters and still cameras. Is that transferable to minidv cams? blues

Hi, there are many posts on filters for still cameras but which should one use for videocams to protect the converter? Seems opinions vary between Skylight and UV-filters. Some manufactures also distribute Skylight or UV-filters specially for DV-cams. Do I need such a (more expensive) filter or is one for 10-20 bucks sufficient? Thanks and blues
