Mamba is the only closed face helmet I've ever used and have no reason to try others. Field of vision is great (no restrictions), visor is secure, and I agree with all the other posts as well. Plus it looks kewl. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

question on getting into flying with a camera
woodpecker replied to woodpecker's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
First, I have over the required amount of jumps and have no interest in flying camera....yet. This was just a question that I was thinking about while seeing the radio with the AFF people. Billvon: Again thanks for an extremely detailed answer with points I had not thought of. To the rest: Thanks for your posts. I just thought it was for snag points and the many who think they can be a vidiot. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on? -
question on getting into flying with a camera
woodpecker replied to woodpecker's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
"leave it to me", sure....now lets try to keep the hair out of the lens, that would be kewl. to the rest: If the jumper was doing solos and only filming air/ground I could see that. But what if they are doing RW jumps and the film consisted of what they saw during the jump. Just a film of the exit and other jumpers...not caring about quality and "the shot" of course. And I do see how the temptation in a few jumps could be there, but I'm only wondering the danger if one doesnt care about "the shot"? Is it any more dangerouse for a jumper with 50 jumps to have a camera than the AFF student with a radio?

I can understand that, but if the jumper doesnt tire of this (hypotheticaly of course) are there any real issues? SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on? -
question on getting into flying with a camera
woodpecker replied to woodpecker's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm not interesting in pursuing this yet, but wondering why there is a 200 jump minimum required (recommended) to jump with a camera? If the jumper want to simply see what he saw during a jump, and not trying to vid other jumps, tandems, etc. then what is the big deal? In previouse threads the reason seems to be about snag points on the camera helmet...well I just got back from spain and had a friend complete his AFF with a huge radio on the side of his helmet. And this thing had more snag points than a camera box ever did. Can someone explain this too me? Just a food for thought question really. And lets all keep in mind, this is for simple vid account of their jump, not for trying to make an actual quality jump vid of others.

All this talk of low pulls
woodpecker replied to Andy_Copland's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
pitch height....that depends on who I'm jumping with and whether or not our 3rd man had decided to pull at 5K.......... Is it even safe for you to pull that low andy?

Buy what you like. Lots of different companies out there and everyone has their favorite. I jump Matter and Sonic and love them both. Price, depends on what company you buy through.
