    I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who sent me PM, post and phone calls. My surgery took place this morning, the doctor successfully removed the tumor from the bone and sinus. I feel okay, I go back in tomorrow and have the packings removed, and the pathology report will be back no later than Monday. I'm glad this is comming to some form of closure and Im finally getting to move forward with either treatment or my life. Again, I want to thank you all for your support and the occasional kick in the ass when I needed it. Chuck Bryan

    Im sure you already know there is a conversion factor of 1.6 with your digital camera, so if you were happy with what you had to get the same results you would have to use a 15mm lens. May people like the Sigma fixed 15 it seems to be pretty popular.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe ALL Cameyes require a Lanc port. Not sure the 26 has one. ltdiver I think you are correct

    I admit, I'm not the most advanced when it comes to video camera. My trusted PC100 gave up this weekend at the boogie. I have decided to replace it rather than have it repaired which brings me to my question. I need some advice, my budget is tight probably no more than 600.00 or so. What is a good camera that I can get for around that much. I use a top mounted helmet, but I would like something that I can also use when I have to shoot handy-cam for video. Please don't reply with use the search, I already did and I'm more confused than a nursing baby in a strip bar. thanks

    Where all the damn people at??? We got in last night around 11 and nobody was stirring except the pilot from the good year blimp, although he was cool as hell. How many people can say I sat inside the goodyear blimp and drank beers..... pretty damn cool. Anyway Denis, Andy, nikki jumppingbean001 and I are here.... lets get this damn party started.

    Depends on the winds, I plan and prepare my student to slide in the landing, If the winds are high and were comming straight down or nearly straight down Ill stand it up. But I would say 80% of my tandems have mowed the grass

    Are you anywhere near Greensburg? If so, I believe skydive greensburg has a rigger on staff full time, give them a call. You can check out their website at www.skydivegreensburg.com

    I truly believe, and hope that the story you heard is the exception, not the rule. Personally, If I see or think that my tandem student has been drinking or is under the influence of a mind altering substance, they aren't going with me. As far as not being properly instructed before boarding the aircraft, again, I hope that is the exception no matter how busy it is, we should never be too busy to teach

    I shoot with 2 video cameras, one has a wide angle lens one does not. I think this poster is dead on about learning to shoot without a wide angle lens. lets face it, he's just starting out, hes not got a whole lot of jumps. NOT shooting with a wide angle lens allows him to learn to get video, while being a little further back from what he is shooting. As he improves his skill and his comfort level increases, he can move to a .05 and then progress down from there and he learns to fy closer to his subjects. IMHO, a wide angle lens helps get exits, and helps if you are flying in really tight with your subject wether its a tandem or a 4 way. I've got good video of a 4 way in full frame flying over the top without a wide angle lens and I was high on the team. I've got good tandem footage shot infront of a tandem without a wide angle lens. I think his thoughts about not flying a wide angle lens until his skill improves is smart and safe.
