Thanks Cookie! Sony TG1 + Black Box + MXV

Recommended Posts

I meant to write something about this a few weeks back....

I just got a new MXV + TG1 Black Box from Cookie and was really impressed with the customer service as well as their product.

I ordered the new toys just before a trip to Florida leaving little time for construction and delivery. The delivery arrived only 3 days after I clicked the order button on their website (not bad for Oz to US!). I called to just let them know I'd really like to receive the goods before my trip. The helmet was already made up and ready to be shipped. I really like it when you call and the guy you speak to actually knows what's going on with your order.

The box is precisely machined and the TG1 slides in perfectly. No need for any tweaking even by somebody as fussy as me. The helmet is very comfortable and I have confidence that the cutaway will do what it needs to if I ever need it.

As for the TG1 the jury is still out because I only have maybe 15 jumps with the camera but it's doing what I expected. So far I've had better results with Auto Focus but it depends on what kind of skydive you are on. I took the Liquid 5 lens but will probably get something a bit more refined at a later date.... a good lightweight camera for general purpose use.

There are a couple of threads on this camera so check them out if you would like more technical info.

Chris,

I myself am looking at a camera helmet and am strongly considering the same combo. I have seen some video taken with the TG1 and I wasnt too impressed to be honest, but, what I was viewing was through youtube and I know the quality goes down quite a bit during transfer. How is the picture on the TG1, and would it be possible for you to send me some good quality videos from the TG1 BEFORE it gets downloaded to a viewing website. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Blues, ryan
