It might be your reserve. Sometimes when the top of the reserve is packed not thin enough the covers come undone to easy. I just saw this beeing the case two days ago. Check if the riser covers are bend (the part which goes under the riser). They should be flat. A reserve repack fix it. Compare with other rigs. see also this thread: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2265114;search_string=riser%20cover%20;#2265114

The Panasonic SDR S150 is used at my dropzone (Germany, gojump.de) for professional camera work. Mostly tandem videos (by handycam or cam flyer). We have several of them in use and they all worked flawless during the whole season 2007. This modell is maybe not perfect for ambitious film makers considered it's limited control options but for skydiving it's great. Make and performance are solid. Right now is nowhere a cam with SD offering this picture quality without going HD, afaik. It's also neat lightweight. I recommend the SDR 150. Blue Skies!
