Im sure if I packed a rig for my dad he would jump it. Muff #5048 -
I would highly recommend before.... Unless, of course, one is flying a wingsuit. Muff #5048

Did those not look a little dark on your monitor DSE? Im stuck using cheap shit. Muff #5048

It should have different preset-type settings for different conditions. Also (on my K10D at least) you can manually set the WB to whatever your liking. In the pics you posted it appeared to be a cloudy day? try setting the WB to the cloudy day setting (or whatever the hell it is). Sometimes using auto WB doesnt alway yield the best pics (at least in my experiance). Muff #5048

Have you tried playing around with your white balance at all? Also your iso setting may have something to do with it. DSE could probably tell you more about it than I could. Muff #5048

My Hawkeye. >>Disclaimer: I'm not actually flying camera yet. I just got a rerally good deal on the helmet and since Ill be flying camer later on in my skyjumping carrear I went ahead and bought it.

Damn. I am way too fuckin gullable. I would have bought it there and not even given it a second thought. I'm kinda glad this forum is here to keep people like me from getting fucked out of some money. Thanks for the info.

Cool. Those hc-9's look like they're about $680-750 if you get one online. I was just thinking about getting one when the time comes for me to jump camera. Its nice to know that boxes are made for them. thanks Muff #5048
-
Just curious. What kind of box are you using? Muff #5048

If thats what you were taught to do then you did right. Did you talk to your instructor about what happened with the canopy? If so what did he/she say about the way you dealt with the problem? Muff #5048

That same thing happened to me on my way back from mesquite. I think it was because I went higher than 1000ft in elevation. But every so often the damn thing would just go off. I turned up my radio. Problem solved. Muff #5048

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Anyone who GIVES you a rig with a 10 month payment plan is ok in my book. That and I've known him since he was born. Muff #5048

Thank you.

Anyone else feel this?

Pack my rig. Muff #5048

I would have to say the best is chili. In fact, its better if you let it sit a day or so to absorb the flavors. Second is spahgetti(sp) (with sauce already in it). Worst ever i think is fast food esp. fries, chinese etc.. Muff #5048

I was refering to this comment. "Advice like pulling front risers could seriously get you hurt." Sorry about the confusion. Muff #5048

I would like to point out that I said "what I do is..." I wasnt reccomending that HE do the same thing or even advising it for that matter. And if you read my whole post you will also see where I wrote "And talk to your instructors". The point of my post was to say what works for ME. If that works for him too then great if not then oh well. Muff #5048

I would say flare more aggressively (faster closer to the ground). Another thing that could help that an instructor told me is "dont start your flare any higher than you would be willing to jump without a parachute". Ever since Ive done it this way Ive stood up every landing. The key (for me at least) is to fly that thing by the seat of my pants all the way to the ground. I usually give it some front riser input @ about 300 feet just to speed up a little then plane out the canopy with the toggels when I get close to the ground (only a couple feet off). This isnt the reccomended way for students though. Just my 2 cents. And talk to your instructors. Muff #5048
