    Hi all. I have been using my Sony PC 101 for the last couple of years and have been filming formations,students,tandems and have used it on handcam for tandems. I want to invest in a new video cam. I have not kept track of the new models coming out and need advice on which Sony vidcam I should look at. I trust Sony and want to stick with Sony. Can you give me advice on which cam I should look at? TQ I am me and you are you, so deal with it!!! www.skydivepe.com

    Great place to do Tandems, and fun jumps. Cool beach landings and always a cool veiw from plane and freefall. You have to stop here and spend a couple of days. DZO (Mike) is always helpful(he keeps your tummy full)Donavan(rigger)so your rig can be looked after if needed.Jeff will keep you smiling.

    With the wings clipping on the inside will aid you to be stable in a sit. They will act like arm rests. If you sit with the wings clipping to the outside it is more difficult. Wings tend not to work together, one goes forward and one back and you spin. clipping on the inside the inflate forward together-cool fun for video TQ I am me and you are you, so deal with it!!! www.skydivepe.com

    I have also used premier and find that you can do a lot but the programme is slow and render time can take ages. I now use Pinnacle9plus. It is very user friendly and you can also do a lot with it. I have been editing skydive videos for about 2 years using Pinnacle and find it easier and quicker with good results. You must also remember that your computer must be able to run whatever programme you use. Look at the minimum requiremenys they advise and go a step better.

    Safety comes 1st in any type of skydive. I feel that all are missing the point with tandem camera. I do not class myself as an experianced camera flyer or tandem master but i do do both so have the feel from both sides. as tandem master i dont want anybody to close to me, as camera flyer i want to get creative,BUT we must remember that the passenger is the paying customer and is paying our salary show him off not the camera flyer or tandem masters abilities. I have seen to many videos recently that show of the camera and tandem master and forgot about the passenger. PEACE TQ I am me and you are you, so deal with it!!! www.skydivepe.com

    My wife and i have two kids both conceived on the DZ ha ha. We found out with the first that she was pregnant at 5 months, she had been jumping a lot, all was okay at birth but she did stop when we found out. We new very early on the second that she was pregnant and she stopped jumping then and there. There was no discussion, we both agreed. Doctors aften say no problem until about six months. we say freefall no problem, a hard opening ouch, a hard landing ouch. You could be a perfect skydiver and some other twat flies into you, why take the risk , you have to think of that little person who is not in control. just our thought. congrats with the news TQ I am me and you are you, so deal with it!!! www.skydivepe.com

    i have not alot of exp with tandems but will also say i use all af the above. I will not be happy doing a low turn to the ground at this stage of my tandem career but will probably practice further on. most of my passangers have not been the rambo type so after the free fall and canopy open and all ok i see the condition and adapt my approach acordingly. I personally enjoy a little wind helps for stadups. I feel what the conditions are also about 100 foot and on approach will decide if the landing will be stand or slide. The customer paid for the ride, have fun in freefall and under canopy , from 1000 feet i take over if i have handed over the toggles and prepare for a safe landing. there are normally tandems on the ground waiting i dont want to scare them by pounding in like a meat bomb TQ I am me and you are you, so deal with it!!! www.skydivepe.com
