extreme 0 #1 October 11, 2004 Hi, I would like to start with camera work and now I'm considering a camera suite and camera helmet. As for helmet, please advice is the Bonehead composites Flat-top pro worth the money or is there a helmet similar to this one but cost less. For camera suite, please help me with wings, should I take smaller or bigger? If bigger, should attachment be front of thigh or side seam?

lewmonst 0 #2 October 11, 2004 Is your profile accurate? I would not recommend a Flat Top Pro for a beginner. What type of camera work do you want to do? peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #3 October 11, 2004 For a helmet, try a Pro-Tec, no cameras. Jumpsuit, a Tony suit is always a good choice. No wings, just grippers. Put 200 or 300 jumps on both, then ask your questions again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fffff 0 #5 October 11, 2004 117 jumps in 3 years???? Don't do camera jumps, don't even start jumping with a camrea suit. If you keep up this number off jumps a year, forget about camerajumping. ------------------------------------------------ NIL VOLENTIBUS ARDUUM.

lewmonst 0 #6 October 11, 2004 QuoteThks for answers, I would like to do RW and tandem Camera work and my profile is accurate. Yeah, seriously, I don't mean to sound negative, but that's way too few jumps to be current enough to consider flying camera. Like others have said, you should get a few hundred more jumps just learning RW skills. Also, you need to do about 10 times as many jumps per year. And when you are ready, start small, just one video camera, maybe a sidemount helmet. Don't throw on more than one new element at a time. That is, don't get camera wings until you are comfortable with the camera, ie, another 100 jumps. peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaGimp 0 #7 October 12, 2004 i agree with everyone else as well...take your time, learn to fly on all axis....specially if your wanting to do tandems....i have had tandems who go drogueless and i have to get on my head to catch them inorder to get "face time" If i hadnt known how to do that then not only would i have not gotten the shot, but i also would have put myself, the TM, and the passenger in danger tryin to get to them. Just one example....learn to fly on your belly, back, head, feet. Have fun with it, then start filming."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
