  2. Well Looks cool...Any feed back? is it worth the cash? "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  3. Wow fricken great information… A lot to plug in. I have been doing all the organized loads at the DZ which makes it extremely diverse in my exit and all around camera style. In a day I could shoot anything from a 4-way to a 16-way, all with varied skill levels. To take on a single discipline is just another challenge… I will apply all the advice given and pratice pratice pratice.

  4. Any advice on 4way camera exits.. I searched the post and couldn’t find too much..I have taken on two teams with diverse skill levels. As a result I have hit the formation a few times "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  5. Howdy from Texas, I am in the process of finishing up my camera set up. My buddy has custom designed some brackets and we have mounted them to my helmet. Now I am looking for some sort of material that I can use to protect and secure my cameras in the newly designed camera holders. Right now, it is just raw metal and very secure fixtures.. Is there some sort of putty that hardens to form a good secure cushion for my gear? I have a few ideas, but I was hoping there was a miracle product out there.

  6. I am family man on weekends until I get the camera issue resolved. Then it is balls to the wall. I am now a semi retired Executive Chef. LOL Skydiving will do that to you "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments

  8. Well Sh*t! To be honest, I have not totally decided yet. After conversing with the video jocks at my DZ I may look into a diffrent option. This whole project is to video for the school at my DZ.. Damn there are a lot of options. "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  9. Thanks to All!!! the info is most appreciated I think I have made my decision. I will update Y'all when the time comes..... "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  10. Howdy Ya’ll. Chef Mikel here from Skydive Dallas. I am going to get into the camera side of this sport. My ultimate goal after some coaching and practical experience is to video for the school. I am sold on the top mount equipment set up. Now my question is this. Do I buy a cheaper mini DV work horse camera to learn on? Or, do I drop the funds for a HD set up? I am going to let Cookie build my first helmet. As I become more proficient in the art I will tweak as needed. I am not as concerned about the price outlay as I am about being able to use for the school. The mini Dv seems like the more practical option but damn, I would hate to start in the dark ages. And, HD is the future. With HD will I get spanked at the editing table? And now I see this HXR-MC1. It seems I will need to get a bigger toy box. I think it is most valuable to learn from my peers. Any input on this will be appreciated "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  11. Very Cool reply my friend. I have chosen to stay with the regular BOC just cuz it seems more natural to me. This Dropzone.com Blog has been great. The answers have been helpful. "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  12. Well Hay, thats cool. When you get my age everything is a joke! "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  13. QuotePoint well taken about the legs but at my age I just want them to get me around. The rest I can hide with wing suits and long pants***
  14. I have a lot of upper body strength, and skinny Legs.From what I have read the S3 has a more aggressive arm wing. So, I feel this will work to my advantage "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
  15. The reason I don't get out much is because I own the cafe at Skydive dallas. So I am stuck there. Most of my jumping is done during the week with an occasional jump with a fellow wing flier on the weekend "Chef Mikel " www.theskydivingchef.com Always remember: Eat safe, & Use condiments
