iam 0 #26 January 14, 2003 My camera is a pc-101 mounted on the left side. I went float from a left sided door on an islander."Don't ever knock on deaths door, just ring the bell and run away - it really pisses him off" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #27 January 14, 2003 Islander doors are pretty small, so getting out on the floater step is not that easy (who's islander was it? They are all different), could you have brushed the cam on the door frame on the way out? I learned my tandem filming out of G-BELF, which had no floater rail, just a piece of wood taped to the fuselage roof. Another thing to watch out for, on some Sony cams there are 3 settings for recording 1-cam will record as long as the button is pushed down, release the button and the cam stops. 2- Burst shooting, the cam will record for 5 seconds after the button is pushed. 3- Continuous shhoting press the button and the cam runs till its pressed again. Could it be that with all your fiddling on the ride up you accidentally changed the shooting mode... Oh yeah, a cam eye helps a load. Battery performance decays rapidly in cold temp, so its worth watching out for, get a spare battery and keep it on charge at the DZ, and alternate batteries on loads so one is always 100% and ready to go. Keep you battery inside your jump suit (fit it at 2 minute call) until you can get a spare one.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
