Yoshi 0 #1 September 18, 2002 I jsut recieved my sidewinder helmet with a pc-1! cant wait to get out there this weekend to use it! just wondering if anyone else out there jumps a sidewinder. the one I have does not have a hole drilled for a screw to go in the tripod mount on the camera. does anyone else not use one? do you get camera shake? I plan to drill one jsut in case the door flaps open because I dont want it only secured by the rubberband. anyways comments appreciated and blue skies! -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

diverds 0 #2 September 19, 2002 Did you buy this all as a package? The pc-1 is an older camera right? If it was bought as a package why don't you ask the previous owner. He/she could probably give you good insight into all the operating issues. Skydive Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 #3 September 19, 2002 Hey there.... I've jumped Sidewinders for over 4 yrs. My 1st setup was a Sidewinder and a JVC DVX. Then I sold that and bought a Sidewinder O2 (same as a sidewinder, just with a flipup lens) and a PC1. The PC1 died last year, and I replaced it with a PC9, which is my current camera. (Still using the Sidewinder 02.) I've never had a problem with the 'camera box' door popping open. I did have my flipup visor get torn off 2 weeks ago during a sitfly jump (never had that happen before). Lotsa fun trying to keep the eyes open JUST ENOUGH to see, yet keep the contact lenses IN. :) Don't be afraid to use a dremel... the dremel is your friend!! Any specific questions, just ask! -Tommy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
