I'm trying to compile a list of movies that have skydiving in them, not necessarily a skydiving movie like the good stuff etc.. but actual movies with skyding sequences in them. If you guys can think of any please post them up or if you know of a list anywhere could you please direct me to it? Cheers!

Very good info so far in this thread, but has anyone used this camera while freeflying? If so how did it hold up? Top mount or side? Box or bracket? I'm looking very closely at buying one of these and as most of my jumps are sit/ head down I'm interested in finding out the picture quality in these orientations. Thanks

Nah it's wrapped up tight in a cookie box

Thanks, all that's done now except for the color sat, where do i find that? Also is the cx7 capable of transfering / receiving footage to and from another camera?

Being my first camera jump I was unaware that any settings needed to be changed, I only realised the focus needed to be adjusted when I watched the footage. After that I spoke to an experienced camera flyer who uses a similar hd sony camera, mini dv, he said I should put it on manual focus on the infinity setting, tried this but still had fuzzy footage What setting manual focus do you use on your cx7? Cheers for the input!

I jumped my cx7 for the first time on the weekend and haven't been able to get it to focus properly, i'm using a cookie .45 lense. Also playing back footage some of the clips shows a fluttering effect on the tv, anyone know why this is happening and what I should set the focus on? Cheers!
