    with that kind of currency, you can never have too much reserve.. I have never been under a reserve wishing I had a smaller one.

    just burn the rendered file to a dvd with the pics. Thats what Ive been doing if they want a digital file instead of the playable DVD
  3. Dokeman
    agreed.. nothing great.

    When you get into swooping, there's really only one thing you need to understand. "Its not if, its when!" I'm referring to hitting the ground really hard. Do everyone in skydiving a favor and don't drag innocent people into that. It dosen't matter how good you are, its just not fair for the passenger.

    the rig dosent care no, but the instructor might. fat people are more prone to getting sick, not being able to pull their legs up all the way, passing out, harder to get out a small door, etc.. Also currency/experience has a lot to do with it. The more current/experienced they better they are with bigger pax. There is a big difference skydiving with a fat person vs a big person with muscle

    I wish it was allowed.

    why is this called safety first? What part about pulling the sider down makes things safer?? Not diss'n the video or the concept, just wondering?

    I only have 3 jumps on mine and it was great.

    At least call Jumpshack and demo a racer. I've had a few vectors, and they function fine. They don't have the fit of a racer. I have 3 racers btw.. Better to pay shipping to demo racers than pay for vector or wings and wish you had tried one. Besides, for the small price of demoing, u get experience and knowledge which is worth it alone. Plus they have some of the fastest delivery times available!

    same can be said for any manufacture

    so if there was no issue, who did the packing? just wondering..??
  12. Dokeman
    what about the rigger or the main packer? are they still employed? Dosen't look like they gave 100% either. just saying...
  13. Dokeman
    way less than that if you figure in cameras and rig wear and tear. You actually make very little
  14. Dokeman
    good find

    In what way is a gopro "shit" or "bottom of the barrel"?? They deserve a little more credit that that.
  16. Dokeman
    Absolutely not, i just sigmas everyday!! They rock
  17. Dokeman
    another end of the spectrum.. Take the show wipeout for example.. I personally don't think the show would be near as entertaining WITHOUT the use of gopros.
  18. Dokeman
    the sigmas do have there own issues.. I wish the golf ball strings were a little longer to account for shrinkage and the bungee a little stronger. The golf balls don't always retract all the way and I get worried about the them snagging on the 3rd loop of the toggles during aggressive turns.

    Thats like saying the guy with 500 jumps shouldn't do video because there is someone here with 5000 jumps who can do it better. Your comparison is great if we start printing pics with a zoomed in square in the corner to show how good our camera is. Remove the zoomed in section from the bottom, and the pic looks exactly the same to me. The colors are the same, the text from his wings look the same, and the ground looks the same, and the tape across the helmet looks the same. DSE, you post a lot of very helpful, useful stuff. But i think comparing a gopro to a cell phone is a little far fetched. Besides, I bet less than 1% of customers actually print there pics anymore. Its all face Facebook/email. The GP pics are great for that, because they don't need resizing before digital sharing.

    opinions do vary. Since they are everywhere, Im sure you could borrow one if you don't already have one. Print one out and see if you like it. We have about 20 or so 8x10 prints hanging on the wall and people buy the shit out them. We just give the files on a disk. Prints are just samples for people to see. Not one person has ever said they were not good enough. And we have a satisfaction guarantee on vids/stills. Besides, I'm sure we can all agree, its more the photographer skills, not the camera there using or how many pictures there getting.

    I have printed several pics from gopros. Most of the ones I have printed were from the older 5mp gopros. Since then I have upgraded to the hero2 and they look even better. All printed 8x10 and al look great.
  22. Dokeman
    I use the 30fps instead of 60 fps to get faster renders. 720p
  23. Dokeman
    I too am looking for a machine.. any help would be great
  24. Dokeman
    thats just wrong!!! cork back to you belly once with some friends/coach above you and you will see the importance of back flying!
