Correct. I'd already been in contact with Brian. Just makes the info much more accessible. DocPop has a good point though, in this day and age is it really worth taking the legal risk... Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT -

practice wingsuit deployment without wingsuit
mixedup replied to mixedup's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Is it ok to do a practice wingsuit deployment, ie two hands behind, without a wingsuit? Perhaps that would be too hard an opening without a wingsuit? Thought I saw someone practicing this without a wingsuit however on a video, getting ready for their first wingsuit jump.... Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT -
thanks davelepka/tkhayes I think we're all on the same wavelength. Maybe where I'm confusing things slightly is that I was assuming that you "look up" to start to get the rotation happening, but then ideally agree once you're near vertical for opening shock the head would be back to in line with your body... So I think what you're suggesting is don't try to use a "look up with your head" method of starting the rotation, but use you legs moreso? PS - tkhayes just noticed your avatar photo :) Looks a little scary. Hopefully wasn't hard opening related.. Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT

From the point of view of stresses on the body (neck in particular) is it best to look after deploying for a second or so to get the body to start to become vertical and help deal with deceleration? (i.e. before you then stop looking at the opening canopy and look out for canopy traffic) Background: * Now jumping with more people the standard practice is to not look at your canopy when it's opening, but rather be looking out for other canopies and getting ready on rear rises to take evasive action if necessary. * So I've been doing this but I think I'm noting a bit more of the deceleration/whiplash effect & I'm thinking it's may be because I think I'm not looking up at all anymore when I deploy...

Someone able to give the definitions for Atmo and then Angle jumps. Then what the differences therefore are. Can you cover body positions of the two. My perception is Atmo is arms and knees out, whereas angle you have them closer to that body so I guess would be faster?? Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT

hero3 - what format/resolution do you use & why?
mixedup replied to mixedup's topic in Photography and Video
There are various resolutions/settings on the Hero3. Wondering what Format/Resolution people are using to fly camera on say 4-ways for example? For example: 1. Resolution - (each of these has "Ultra Wide" Field of View): * 1440p - 1920x1440, 4:3 - but then you'd have to crop to 16:9 if that's the output you want * 1080p - 1920x1080, 16:9 - seems a good choice * 960p - 1280x960, 4:3 2. Field of View * Ultra-Wide - assume this would be the one used * Medium * Narrow Note: I'm not jumping cameras yet, however in Oz we can with C-license (100 jumps).

Square1 GoPro Mount - How to fit with Hero 3 ?
mixedup replied to mixedup's topic in Gear and Rigging
Anyone worked out how to get the Hero3 to fit into Square1 go pro mount? (http://www.square1.com/manufacturers/square1/p522.asp#GoProMounts) If yes, wondering what/how you did this. The issue is the new WiFi button now on the side of the new GoPro & housing, so it's a bit wide to fit in now. Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT -
contour vs gopro mounts for minimum snag points?
mixedup replied to mixedup's topic in Photography and Video
thanks trunk - I'm not jumping cameras yet but, if you had an entanglement on a top mount then: a) I can't even imagine what it would be like - like wouldn't it feel like the likes were going to rip your head off or something? or hangon, we're talking about the bridal not the lines I guess correct? So is it a dumb question in fact re whether it's possible to have your lines entangle with a top mounted camera? b) if you did cutaway your camera/helmet would that potentially immediately clear the problem with your canopy opening. Ie just in relation to when you say jettison the helmet & then chop, would it really be jettison, observe outcome, then chop if necessary? Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT -

In terms of a jump with say 8-way to 16-way in terms of numbers, what is the feeling re whether booties/boosters would be slightly better for safety at breakoff? Just wondering if you're on the outer ring and turn and track away without boosters, then there are some people in the base who turn and track with boosters they might be more inclined to go faster and catch up. I'm assuming the primary answer is it shouldn't make a difference as you're looking out for each other and making sure you're not tracking off in the same direction as another jumper. But still wondering from a secondary consideration point of view. (background is I prefer to jump without booties/boosters, but was just pondering whether I should consider using them for a tiny bit more safety at breakoff) Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT

Not noticing my audible in my new full face Phantom X?
mixedup replied to mixedup's topic in Gear and Rigging
update So did carefully move the audible to where my earhole is with my helmet on. Was actually much closer to the edge of the helmet than I would have thought, and also the pocket had much more room for adjustment than I realized. Did some jumps yesterday and the alerts are coming through loud and clear again! Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT -
Not noticing my audible in my new full face Phantom X?
mixedup replied to mixedup's topic in Gear and Rigging
that's what I've been pondering, however it has been a very clear difference changing helmets. I always heard it (remember hearing it) with the open face, but now with the full face I'm not so sure... Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT -
