The shutter connected to a remote jack on the camera, and we set the camera on continuous mode. The pilot takes the pictures (there is a button right beside the radio one). Its a 182, with a mount at the end of the strut, so when a student does a hanging exit, you get pictures of them falling away from the plane in their arch (or lack of arch...). Cold temperatures... the cameras get fairly cold during flight, but we wont have them on the plane during the winter, so it shouldnt be too big of an issue.

Cool, thanks. We will take a looksee and decide if any of those will work for us... not sure if the frame rate is quick enough though, maybe we can find one and try it out.

Havent really taken a good look at it, the camera is all covered up and pretty old... I believe its a 50mm lens on there now (just guessing). We dont need to stick to anything existing, we are putting all new still/video cameras in/on the plane, and are open to new ideas.

At my DZ we are looking to replace our 35mm wing camera with a digital one. We currently take 4 pictures at 4fps. With the newer technology, we can finally get digital cameras with quick enough continuous shooting. Does anyone know what digital cameras are currently being used for this application? We are looking for something that will give us high resolution bursts (at least 4fps, and a burst of 4 minumum), and is still fairly affordable.

... Canned air is nothing. Where I work, we have some shit thats like compressed arctic. Its meant for removing gum from walls and stuff, you just spray it on, and break it off. Its fun, you can freeze pens and drop them, and they shatter... you can freeze plastic bottles and drop then and they shatter... you can freeze the cat and drop it and it shatters... all kinds of fun stuff.

I just recently started skydiving, but I brought out a group of 10 for the first jump course. I thought that then I would be guaranteed to know someone that would be there with me through it all. However, I am the only person from that group that has been back... Im sure that the people at your DZ are awesome, and you will get to know lots of people right away. If they think you are nuts, screw em... they're nuts for not trying . Have fun with it dude, you wont regret it.

# 10 is good - Aurora Borealis. You havent seen anything until you have watched a real good show. Us Canucks know what its like... I live in a city, so cant usually see them from home, but its fun to sit in the hottub at the dropzone and watch them. 6, 10, 15, 17, 25, 27, 38... I think im doing pretty good. -
YOU KNOW YOU GREW UP IN THE 80's or early 90's IF-

We had an 82 year old tandem passenger that lost both shoes on exit... http://www.edmontonskydive.com/mary/ -
Trying to make a big list, for fun. I thought this up, when I found a new ringer for my cellphone... it plays Sublime, dropzone music
-
Ya, thats kinda what I want to do... I get sick of the radio sometimes, so I want to make like 20 dropzone cds
-
Ok... What is your favorite dropzone artist/song/genre? Just a quick poll... you know, the kind of music that pumps you up while packing/sitting around/drinking.
