Drop zone is thinking about banning turns over 90°
Marc84 replied to Marc84's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Thanks for the Rant If I can't sway his opinion I'm definitely taking my comp velocities to another drop zone. Unfortunately that's an hour and a half away from me. -
Drop zone is thinking about banning turns over 90°
Marc84 replied to Marc84's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
So I'm looking for some input. The drop zone that I currently jump at is looking to ban any turns that are more than 90°. We recently had one of our jumpers pass away doing the Hi-performance landing at another DZ. The drop zone's owners daughter's fiancé was actually killed in 1997 doing a Hi performance Landing as well. Is there any arguments that I can use to hopefully persuade him to still allow responsible canopy piloting at his DZ? -
Scirocco - new x-braced main by Skylark
Marc84 replied to frost's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Wow... $1845USD with a RDS too... That is a very good deal compared to a Comp Velo or a JVX… What is a JVX going for these days? Is the just the pre-production price? -
My JVX 72 Opened so hard!!! I would strongly recommend not getting that canopy... Since my JVX 72 opened so hard i bought a 74 Neos for non-competition jumping... The Neos is a very nice opening canopy... the The Belgian team Hayabusa is using them and enjoying them...

Opteka Platinum Series 37mm 0.2X Low-Profile "Ninja" Fisheye Lens?
Marc84 replied to Marc84's topic in Photography and Video
Has any used the Opteka 0.2X Low-Profile "Ninja" Fisheye Lens for Camcorders? It looks the same as the Royal Lens Platinum 0.2x. I jump the Royal lens Platinum 0.2x but i scratched it and i don't want to pay $249.99 USD for a new one. The Opteka 0.2x Ninja is $69.95 on there website. is there any Vignette with this lens? I tried a Liquid 2 x0.25 Wide angle lens with 37mm threads and i got vignette. http://opteka.com/optekaplatinumseries37mm02xlow-profileninjafisheyelensforcamcorders.aspx -
Royal .2, Optica .3 and Raynox .3 CX-100 Lens comparison
Marc84 replied to Cyrus79's topic in Photography and Video
i like the look of the Optica .3... is it as wide as the royal .2? i'm using a Liquid 3 x 0.29 Wide angle lens... i would like to have a lens that is a little wider than the liquid 3... And i'm getting Vignetting if i shoot in 16:9... does the royal or the Optica Vegnette in 16:9? -

HI All... i need Advice… My old DCR-PC109 died… and it looks like I need to replace it… I need I good camera that I can side mount!!! I’m looking at some old PC1000… but everyone wants to much money for them… so, I’m looking at a Sony HDR-CX7 or CX12… can you side mount a HC7??? How well does the CX7 record in freefall being a flash camera??? Cookie makes a nice box for them and very nice lenses… has any one had good luck with the CX7? Or should I go with the trusted old PC1000… Thanks For any advice…
-
Yes they are still waiting on the NEW White sail too... i ended up ordering an all ZP JVX... it should be soon because they can't build any canopies with sail...
-
I'm starting to wonder that... if they exist... i ordered my canopy in dec... i changed my colors to all white... and i'm still waiting... and after paying the deposit... I have not got any e-mails from Daedelas... I should have got a Velo...
