j3zz 0 #1 November 2, 2004 Ok so I have searched the post asked opinions read all about it and came to the conclusion there is no universal decision. This poll is purely for camera fliers using a sidemounted video camera, (still /or not) to do tandem videos they are paid for. This way I will get an idea as to what to do. I want to see what is actually happening in skydiving rather that discussing the pro's and con's at infinitum If this is a re post please point me to the original Regards Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chachi 0 #2 November 2, 2004 Straight up if you are being paid for a video you should be using a ring sight, and a cam eye. No excuses they lend to knowing what you have in frame and knowing that you are recording. ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

End of story. I'm not sure what the helmet being a side-mount has to do with the question... _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I don't use a ringsight unless I'm using a Larger camera that I'm not used to shooting, or a film/HD camera. I have my video top mounted, and my stills side mounted and haven't had a framing issue yet with this setup in 600+ camera jumps this season. As far as the CamEye goes, I'd tend to agree, but many cameras I shoot with don't work with a cameye (brand). I have found that a mirror can be as effective as a cameye, but a cameye is certainly less hassle. mh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
