So far my conclusion is Don't buy this model! Thankyou for the advice! Which model or Camcorder would someone recommend? Again I would like to do it right the first time! I don't like to do anything half assed, especially when it comes to my complete love, passion, and addiction!! The only thing I love near as much as Skydiving is watching skydiving videos!! Your right Billy I am doomed! I might as well live in a tent on a dropzone, work when I have to and jump every cent away!!
