    Hi, Here's something to compare to; I'm from Denmark where the closest tunnel is about a six hours drive away. There's a group doing regular trips to the tunnel, approximately once a month. They drive Friday as soon as possible, and fly off peak hours Saturday morning/evening and Sunday morning as far as I know. Then they drive back Sunday afternoon. They don't recommend more than two hours for a weekend. Freefly should be tougher than bellyflying, so keep that in mind too. But the more tunnel you fly the better shape you will be for flying. Usually people do 1-1½ hour of freefly.

    If it is possible to compare with Europe (where I think skydiving is a smaller sport compared to USA?): The last three years, the time I've been in the sport, there have opened tunnels in Czech Republic, Norway, Spain, Russia and a small one in Denmark. Other than that there's three tunnels in the UK: Manchester, Milton Keynes, Bedford and a new one opening next summer in Basingstoke. There are also a tunnel in Germany, and another one in Russia. I believe there's also one being opened in France next year. There might be small tunnels and others that I don't know of.

    I've tried turning off the image stabilization, but it doesn't help on the problem. I've also tried zooming in, which helps, but I just think that I have to zoom way to much. I've also tried wrapping a pack band around the filter, but it doesn't stabilize it much. Could it just be a result of a cheap lens? To me it seems as if one should just be able to simply buy and lens and then having a working setup? But then again, I'm just a newb.

    My Opteka Ninja Lens moves quite a bit when I'm filming in freefall as well as on the ground. When stationary the edge of the lens is barely visible. Between the lens and camera there's a stepring from Opteka, made of what I believe is aluminium. Do you have any advice of how to avoid this movement? At my local DZs I've been told that it can either be the mount, the stepring or the lens. My setup: - Sony cx115 camera - Opteka Ninja Lens with stepring (http://opteka.com/ninja.aspx) - Tonfly 3x topmounted helmet (http://tinyurl.com/7kesgmr) I've attached two images from a video, which is taken less than two seconds from each other. As it can be seen the lens has moved from one side to the other.
