    There's a demo 260 Pulse on the boards right now. I can't cut N paste the link w/my wireless.

    Frenchies ??? Wow. How old ARE you ?

    Either way, it's inexcusable. Sony makes some great stuff. If they treat some of their lower-end customers like this, though. I'll shop elsewhere when I need something higher up the food chain. $300 is $300... Intentionally sticking a customer w/junk is theft, plain N simple.

    Sorry to learn of your troubles w/this, Trunk. IMHO, Sony's refusal to replace a defective unit is completely unacceptable. In comparison, I recently purchased a Kindle Fire HD from Amazon. There is a slight problem w/it. After a quick, no-hassle phone call, Amazon is shipping me a new one. They're also paying all the shipping, both ways. I don't even have to return the defective unit, first. They took my word on the problem. Any huge Company that doesn't stand behind their products, loses my business.

    Potential Canopy collisions on opening. Other Jumpers sometimes end up way too close when you open. If you're thrown out of control when that happens? Bang... Plus, at higher wingloadings, it could throw you into line twists.

    Since we won't be sued... This one has my vote, Doug. It's perfect . P.S.: You're in Cali, Lewmonst. They can sue ya for anything...

    First (BEER?!) RW jump??? What some Old Dawgs won't do to weasel a case of beer out of a Newbie...
  8. PiLFy
    Yeah, same thing. I didn't say they were...

    Bring one of those Packers a case of beer on a slow weekday. They know something you don't. Are you quartering your Slider properly? My Sabre2 was doing some diving on opening. I was advised to try quartering as usual. Then, pull the Slider towards the nose a couple inches. It works like a charm . Get w/a rigger or packer, & get it sorted out.

    Hi Matt, What's the followup report on your condition? How are you now?

    Make way for Grandpa ....

    We'll see. I'm finding it harder to justify the added weight, expense, & discomfort of flying my cx150 just for fun jumping. Hopefully, the little glitches will be ironed out by next season. Thanks.

    I'll wait for you guys to come to an agreement on which is best. I really don't know much about these cameras. I've still got several months' time. Thanks

    Cheap Mechanic's gloves w/cheap $10 liners work in all but the coldest temps for me. Latex gloves hold in moisture. Neoprene duck hunting gloves w/those same liners cover the really brutal days. OP, talk to your instructors. There are too many things you might overlook before pull-time. Everyone has their preferences here. Talk to the peeps that are partly responsible for your safety.

    I won't bother pretending I know what FFT is ... Is not the GP's new glass lens a distinct step up? I currently have Vegas, & a very old PC (w/2 gigs of RAM). I scored a great deal on a near-new cx. BUT... actually flying it will cost another $700-ish. Then, there's the added weight. A POV would be much better for me IF I was happy w/the vid quality.

    You're Welcome, Brother. As an added bonus. You'll find those repeated openings helpful for motility, as well . Keep Pushin .
  17. PiLFy
    OK, thanks Doug. I don't know which settings they used for their new demo vid, but it looked far better then older GoPro stuff. I'm still hoping one of these will prevent me from the hassles of flying my CX-150 next season.

    Congrats, James

    OK, thanks Brian. Now, it works. Nice video.

    Winter jumps are their own kind of fun. Talk to the Instructors at your DZ. Learn commonly made mistakes in clothing choices. Then, bundle up & have at it. Winter yumpin is FUN !

    "Unable to play back video"? Brian, did you take it down? Or, is my Kindle acting up again? I'm guessing the latter...

    Hey Trunk, I just got a look at the 4K GoPro. Are you planning on doing a comparison? I don't understand much of the technical talk. The promo vid looks greatly improved from earlier GPs.

    I was citing his original article. "I did update my article and shot a small video comparing the gopro 2, contour+ and the AS15. The actual quality looks a lot nicer than the pre-release videos posted. So I take back what I said about the quality. It is a tad softer than the gopro, but not extremely noticeable." Better, but still not what I was expecting from Sony. Time & multiple reviewers will tell... I don't have anything against Sony. I already own a camcorder of theirs. It shoots beautiful video. I was hoping for a much lighter/cheaper/easier camera to fly. The image sensor used, plus Sony's reputation, led me to expect more than I'm hearing from this camera. We've got all winter to view N read the good, bad, & ugly. Let the Games begin .

    "So far, everyone has reported a great image." Trunk didn't think that about the image quality. You & Trunk know far more about this stuff than I do. When I heard that Sony was developing this camera. That they were using their Exmor-R sensor. I was hoping for a significant improvement in image quality over the GoPro. It's sounding like that's not going to be the case. Not from the very little data that's come out so far. I leave it you more knowledgeable guys to give it a thumbs up or down. I wasn't expecting to read some of the negatives I've seen on it, so far. That's all. Let's see how your comparison shoot came out.
  25. PiLFy
    Thanks, Will definitely look closely at tomorrow's comparison shoot. I'm starting to think Sony may have dropped the ball w/this camera. Too bad, as they could've cleaned up w/it. I don't need WiFi. I need good video quality in a light weight package.
