There are so many great cameras out there. The camera flyers at my DZ use older stuff. They are great at flying camera, but perhaps don't have their fingers on the heartbeat of the digi-still world. I can read the raw data on the different models and their capabilities (mega-pixel, refresh rate, lens quality, memory etc.) but that doesn't mean it will be good for skydiving. The details like is it durable, easily mounted and user friendly are things I couldn't know without owning one. I am looking in the 700 to 1000 dollar range. Can you please give me some tips.

I want to top mount a PC 120 on a hawlkeye. I really like the cage style mount made by Aerial Focus but they don't make one for a PC 120, plus they just moved to Hawaii and won't be in production of anything for a while. Besides the D-box, (which I know are good products) what is working well for top mounting a PC style camera? Is there another cage style mount that can accomidate a PC 120? It is not a popular mounting style at my DZ. Everyone side mounts here. Thanks BH in Alaska "RANGERS LEAD THE WAY" save trees, eat squirl

If money were no object (it is) which PC style camera is the most ideal. There are so many. Are there any of the new models (120,101 etc.) that are'nt good for skydiving? Thanks, Brian. "RANGERS LEAD THE WAY" blue skies save trees, eat squirl

I am in the market for a new camera. I have been using an older Canon but want better picture quality and a more user friendly interface. I am primarily a freeflyer, but want to fly tandom/AFF next season. I prefer a top mount. It just feels more comfortable to me. I have considered mounting a PC style on the top, thus giving myself the option of a side mount if I change my mind. I am looking hard at the TRV 30 and 50. I am by no means a camera expert but if I am reading the spec sheets correctly the only noticeable difference is the TRV50 has blue tooth but no LANC. Also some small differences with the still capability. Is there something I am missing. If you own any one of these cameras please give me your insight. Thanks, Brian.
