  1. I just let it rest on the open LCD screen when I am using it in that mode. Still easy to see and use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  2. They will pay initially. You will get an invoice from the carrier within 2 weeks to pay them back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  3. As others have already stated you need to decide what you are going to use the lens for and buy the right product to match. If you want slimline like a WayCool then you are going to have to pay a little more. As a starter this was the lens I started with and was recommended to me. Its not slimline, but it does a good job (depending on what you wish to use it for). I still use this lens to good effect on my PC101. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006IVG9/qid=1149608081/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_3_2/203-0039216-4498377 Also speak to your local camera guys as there will be a wealth of knowledge to be gained. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  4. Might be of use. Wrist mounted Buddi Buoy. http://www.skydivejersey.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=104 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  5. Check out this post. I think it may have been covered. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2000803#2000803 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  6. Yes I was doing just that. I will try your idea. Thanks.
  7. I wonder if anyone has come across this problem I have with this lens or similar lenses. I was using this lenses with a PC101, using it in manual focus. Everything would look in focus on the setup and play back when on the camera, but when played back on a larger screen some shots would be a little out of focus. I tried several times to adjust the focus even using a large screen, but it appears to be very sensitive to the focus setup up and unreliable IMO as I am now using the setup up for tandem video. I have reverted to my previous .5 Hama lens (uses infinity) and the problems have disappeared. I have also used a red eye .3 on this camera without any apparent problems (not a lot off jumps with it). I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas. suggestions as to the cause. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

  9. Its a company machine so I have little control over the s/w. The problem has not occurred to date since the original two issues. If it had only occurred the once then I would probably not have reported anything, but since it happened twice in quick succession I though I would flag it up. I can only go on what was in the Trend log and that was intrusion prevention. The other info in the log was: "[217] Microsoft Multiple Application/OS GDI+ JPEG Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability attempt detected (CAN-2004-200)" Means nothing to me I'm afraid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  10. Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a prob, or just over sensitive s/w at my end . My works machine uses Trend Sygate and twice in two days it has detected an intrusion attempt, whilst I have been connected to DZ.com resulting in a 24 hour ban on access to the site each time. Has anyone else come across this? I have attached a screen grab of the log FYI. Bst Rgds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  11. Same here. Been using them (1 gig version) problem free in my 350D. Frame rates good and plenty fast when downloading. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk

  13. Same thing happened to mine. Fortunately it happened when I was setting it up, so just glued them back on, without any further problems. I found out later that they do come off quite easily and was recommended to re-glue them even if they don't seem to be a problem on any future setups. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  14. Think I know the Tom that your are referring too. He is still jumping at Peterlee. Yes we have a Cessna 182 that does not have a door. Can be a tad chilly in the winter. There is also a Nomad at the moment. See you soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk
  15. Hi Tim, What DZ do you jump at? If you happen to get to Peterlee, which is probably the closest to you, give me a shout and introduce yourself.
