BPilk 0 #1 April 28, 2009 I am looking to purchase my first video equipment, and I understand that everyone has their own personal opinions on what's the best buy. Here's what i'm looking for: 1. Video camera that can be mounted on top of a helment. 2. Helmet with top mount capabilities. 3. Video editing equipment Basically i want all of my own gear that i can take from DZ to DZ with me. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would be using this for me personally, and possibly to do a tandem video from time to time. V/r Brad"Never take life seriously.

dragon2 2 #2 April 28, 2009 CX105, raynox hd3032 lens, hype-eye pro, a box and camera helmet of your choice and a REALLY good laptop (ie, 1500 usd and up) plus decent editing software, a fast cardreader and a big and fast external harddrive. All set. Although for tandems you'll likely want stills too, whole 'nother story.

velocityphoto 0 #4 April 28, 2009 Read the sticky at the top ,it will give you a lot of good info. Talk with your local camera guys. If i were just starting out i'd buy a cx100 with a .3 lens . Get sony vegas (PC only) for all your editing. Spot (DSE) can elaborate more on this software and training in it.
