What are people using for hand cams now?
sinjin replied to diablopilot's topic in Photography and Video
JP, A russian guy at the ranch was talking about a new panasonic, - i know , i know,sony only forum, that was card only. holds about 15 minutes of time depending on gig size and is tiny. He said the quality was excellent. you may want to check it out on the panasonic home page. i think he said the cost was around 400. off to z-hills. P dont let life pass you by -
hey i just went thru everything you did two months ago,, i had a sabre and was and still am a newbie. i got rid of it when i started jumping camera as i got snapped, the video going white out from a hard opening. yes the spectre might but the sabre will in my opinion.i sold the sabre and got a 150 spectre. i would jump empty box,, then video,, then video and still.. i had one tandem instructor take me under his wing for about 50 tandems that i paid for myself.. that helped me get the timing and practice without pressure of blowing the video.. the other thing with tandems is make sure you are safe for a while and always err on the safe side.. leave extra early on exits.. approach slow and stay outside till you get real comfortable. as far as deployment, either is ok and getting your head thru the risers the first few times is weird.. i shoot an hc-42 for tandems and everything and it is great. i used a cheap lens and now a .45 cookie. rsl is your choice but i dont for the extra couple of seconds in case of a snag.. i would recommend a hook knife as well. add your helmet cutaway to your emergency procedures. i did 75 jumps with no ring sight,, now i have a ring sight and it improved my video substantially.. it is another snag point and you may want to speak to you local vidiots for a timeframe. take all this from a newbie with a hundred camera jumps. listen to the elders as they have the mojo. got my first pic in parachutist last month so if i can anyone can. enjoy and good luck. dont let life pass you by

Anyone driving to the Ranch Friday March 30
sinjin replied to sinjin's topic in Events & Places to Jump
looking for a ride from manhattan area to the ranch on friday if anyone is going. i am trying to avoid the bus ride if i can help it. thanks. cant go sat or sun. slave to the man :( P dont let life pass you by -
yup , goods, i have the hc-42. perfect dont let life pass you by
-
i will be there from the 3rd to the 8th on and offf. hope it is fun p dont let life pass you by

i ahve the hc 42 and i love it.. use a cheap wide angle .45 and it should be fine unless you can afford the nice ones. the cam eye is a small pain as you have to connect it thru the helmet. i have a bone head with a D box. i would recommend the shaped box from cookie if you can wait. i have a still camera and got a cheap 35 from someone at the DZ upgrading. it is expensive but rewarding.. p dont let life pass you by

Opinions on Waycool Blue Eye .45x Wide Angle
sinjin replied to JonBojar's topic in Photography and Video
i just bought a .45 for tandems and freeflying/other. i am really happy with it. being a sinlge element you cant zoom in too far, i would say less than half way but that is a guestimate as i dont have it with me. i am shooting an hc-42 and love it. i was using a cheap .5 before. i have not had the opportunity to compare with a .3 but so far i like it and would recommend it highly. dont let life pass you by -

hey macbeth, i give props to the person that told especially if they are a friend. most people would not say anything and you would have never known. if you have a chronic case, all of the mints in the world will help a little but not get rid of it. I know someone who had it, took tic tacks all the time but it was still noticeable. see prof help and hope you find some answers. dont let life pass you by

perris tends to be a little busier during the week. elsinore may be busy on thursday and friday but it depends if there are any large groups around.. both will be fine. if you want ocean view go to san diego or come up to santa barbara. SB has a 206 and with 4 people it will run as many times as you can pack. if you need more info pm me paul dont let life pass you by
