    Hey that is cool you got a replacement that fast. While I agree with you to an extent, I also will point out, that IMHO the reply times I got were reasonable, there was even a note when I submitted my report saying, no one was in due to the holidays and there is a heavy back log, but they will get you. With in a week I got this reply: I complied and with the requested video & stills & a few days got this second reply: Now the kicker is my issue was self resolved and I won't e needing to return the unit to them... I didn't mind the wait for them to contact me because I kept playing around with it while I waited. I know that was not available to you, and I would not be happy as well. Blow it off, prob solved and now go out and get us some cool UFO footage... you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Me thinks we need to see some photos! Oh yea... me thinks you might lose some of the kiddies in translation... Propblast, now you know why I told to you post it here, some old fart (said with all due respect & well wishes SkyBill) is bound to know the answer... you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    I like the static method the best.... then again I'm no expert and have not tried the layering of whole images like that. I like to cut out the moving object and layer it on to one image. But I also use a stone age copy of PS elements.... I have made a few composites of multi images into one canvas... Biggest thing is go try it and have fun. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    First cutting away over water is a really stupid idea! Yes I know you see people do it on film and all that.... I also know of more then a few people who died doing just that, they were highly experienced skydivers. They all died because they cutaway to high up, you can't have good depth perception over water. The record and pile of the dead, don't lie! Stay calm, cool & collected! If the canopy land on you tread water and follow a seam one direction till you come out from under it, then swim away. As for 50 degree water... your right the shock will set in very fast. Just a few month before his death, I took Jason his first round jump, that was the only time I had met him, we got a great stills from Michael McGowan, he for ever hangs on my basement wall in sweet 4 way. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    Not having "new" show up when new stuff is posted means we have to 1. look at everything or 2. remember the number of ad's each cat and each day. I don't want to click on each one to see if there is new stuff, if I looking for a hot item in cat. I want to hit it quick when first listed and not hope I just catch it posted. For example, cypres units are hard to come by right now, I'm search for two TDM two pin units.... you can bet if they get posted they will be gone very fast, having the new listing icon helps people quickly find the new stuff. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

See here the attached pics. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2825263#2825263 Ok I went back a read the thread. I'm pretty much in the DSE & Dave camp here, and those linked videos, I would like to see the end product too... I bet they suck and most wuffos don't "get it" with the flippy floppy flying camera bullshit. K.I.S.S. = memorable story! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo
