Mindwarps and still cameras
packing_jarrett replied to packing_jarrett's topic in Photography and Video
Is it necessary to have a flat top to mount a still camera. I just bought a brand spankin' new mindwarp+ dBox+ chincup. I used it all this past season filming tandems and it works great. My grandparents bought me my first still camera, Cannon 400D. How the hell do I mount it on my mindwarp. I'm sure this is a common question but I couldn't find anything. And also my cameye plug just broke off in my PC-109 (also brand new). How do I fix that? **thanks in advance. Na' Cho' Cheese -
How high do you start your swoop

Crossfire 99 at 1.7WL 270 at 450ft (sea level) probably 4 in half seconds in dive **I surge into the dive. Na' Cho' Cheese -
If a vision 150 will fit in there then a xf 139 will fit in there too. You might not even notice the difference in packing because IMO the xf will pack a bit bigger than most other 9 cells. Na' Cho' Cheese

Swoop Distances by Wingloading
packing_jarrett replied to Elisha's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
the only time I measured I got 210ft. 1.5 at the time... x-fire leaving for lompoc on friday. are you going to be there? Na' Cho' Cheese -
Those are container sizes. W-2, like a wings container... is made for smaller canopies like sub 100. Wings uses numbers so the higher they are the bigger the canopy. Same with infinity and icon. Infinity I-32 is made for canopies around 135sq ft. Javelin is a little more complex with letters for example xrs/ rsk is one of the smallest but there's also a OJK made for 150's but there's also the J1 which is made for 150's. Its so confusing but if you go on individual manufactures they'll give you a better understanding. Na' Cho' Cheese

little soon... I don't like the look of a 2k3. Regular NOS looks much better IMO Na' Cho' Cheese

I agree I like the opening sequence on the crossfire too. But if the whole sequence sped up. Not like a 200ft opening... there has to be a happy medium. Oh and I did get slammed by sabres and stiletto's. Na' Cho' Cheese
-
Don't you think the openings on a crossfire are maybe a little bit too long? If what your saying is correct then I might say the neos is a ridiculously long opening canopy. Before I started changing the way I packed my crossfire it was to the point where the opening sometimes took 800ft to open. just my opinion Na' Cho' Cheese

my kurupee suit has held up extremely well through all my butt slide/ front slide landings. Delivery was fast. Suit was cheap. but I think for a little more money you can buy a nice matter suit. Na' Cho' Cheese

Another ocontainer company belly-up??

I heard the opposite. I heard he services his tandem rigs Na' Cho' Cheese -
thanks "dad" Na' Cho' Cheese

Me buying an RDS was so yesterday I'll get some professional canopy coaching. Thanks guys. I'll keep my landings consistent. Na' Cho' Cheese
-
all right dude. Your right bad part at saying " have more canopy time than an average 500 jump jumper." Landings do matter the most. You got me there. So honestly, wtf would you do if you were me? Na' Cho' Cheese

I shouldn't have to explain myself. Then don't. If you REALLY want to, then use a PM. I'm not interested in hearing why you're different, and tallented, and your 100 hop and pops. If you hook it in and die - I WILL reply to this thread saying "I told you so." This site doesn't forget anything. This is where he told us how he had it all under control, and how good he was, and how he was different and talented, and this is where he showed us he was dead. The ground doesn't give a fuck how good you are. Give it the smallest of chances, and it will kill you. t Na' Cho' Cheese

Look at some of these. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=41888&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=42067&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=41997&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=41891&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=41618&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=41461&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=41042&d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=40576&d=1 I just found like a zillion in 5 minutes Na' Cho' Cheese

I thought this was going to come up. The only difference is I have a lot of canopy time... relatively speaking. I have almost 100 hop-n-pops. I don't know how many hours that pencils out too. I go gling when I can too. Na' Cho' Cheese

how many jumps do you have? wingloading? You must have a lot of canopy time to jump such a number. Na' Cho' Cheese

Which RDS do you fly
packing_jarrett replied to packing_jarrett's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
ah dude I respect everyones opinion... unless they're a complete fag. Practice is probably what I need but are you serial when you say it take just as long to remove the slider than it is to stow it. I would of guessed it would be way way way waaaaaay faster to just pull the lines and boom have it off and all in your shirt. "IF" I had a RDS I would leave the d-bag and pc attached to the canopy anyways. Na' Cho' Cheese
