soeperboer 0 #1 May 17, 2004 I recently acquired a Sony DCR-IP5E camera (Including wide-angle lens) , and as I am new to camera work ( have been using a friends PC5/Bonehead openface a couple of times) can anyone please help answer the following questions! Is this camera suited for the job? If anyone have been using one , on which helmet? I have a Gath openface which I am considering to use - has anyone constructed a bracket to accomodate this camera? Any help would be appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaGimp 0 #3 May 17, 2004 ok well now I USED to use the IP-5 and i used a bone head mindwarp....d-box from BH....but the compatability issues between the IP and the TRV/PC series i just didnt like.....so i got a TRV-22 that i use now. It worked fine in freefall.....small, lightweight."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyZ 0 #4 May 18, 2004 I just sold my IP5... It was a nice lightweight easy-to-use camera. I used an aluminum Bonehead L-bracket on a Bonehead Optic helmet and a Diamond .30 lens. A jump-buddy of mine works in a machine shop and was able to shave down the bracket a little to fit the camera perfectly. The only reason I sold it is because I got a great deal on a new PC-105, which has a better picture quality, a LANC port and is compatable with what most other skydivers are using (It's nice to be able to firewire back and forth between cameras... so you can see yourself once in a while). I think that it is a great starter camera though. Hope you enjoy it. Johnny Z. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
