It's on a strong tandem rig. The damage is where the L bar link hooks up to the back diagonals. Both diagonals have been patched. The ends of the new webbing are only hot knifed rather than folded under and sewn. Now there are four pieces of webbing going through the L bar link. The new webbing can slide up and down the link and get jammed on one side because there are too many pieces of webbing going through the link. I'm worried that this might cause uneven loading on the harness. The loft that did the repair is a well know loft here and they said that to do it the way the manufacturer wants to do it would involve taking the harness apart which is not viable so they did this instead......... Strong only told me that this is not the way they would do it but when asked if they would approve of this repair method I received no answer. I can take some pic tomorrow (forgot to do it today) Any rig manufactures out there that want to comment? Would they approve of such a repair on their rigs? Also would this be considerd an modification to the harness as it is no longer as per original specs?

I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them...

Hi all, I'm a rigger in australia and I have been given a tandem rig for a repack. Problem is that is rig has a damaged section of webbing (worn well past the yellow edge thread) which has been repaired by applying another piece of the same type of webbing on top. I don't think it is an appropiate repair method and have contacted the manufacturer of the gear but didn't manage to get a clear answer. Can any riggers and/or rig manufactures give their input on this repair method? Is it even legal/ does it void the TSO?

I've read this review:http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_r1-review/index.shtml and about halfway through it says: So it seems although you can only shoot three shots in burst mode before the buffer is full, that it doesn't take that long for the buffer to clear to resume taking shots. Does anybody have an idea if this is correct?

Does anybody have any experience with the 10 Megapixel Sony DSC-R1 stills camera? It seems a good altenative to the D-SLR's with a wired remote, manual focus and a lens that will go as wide a 24mm (35mm equivalent) & optional wide angle lens converters that can make it even wider than that........
