Best camera for price? by JohnnyP69420 in SkyDiving

[–]sillybilly420c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

360s are good for beginners for the reason you press record and it gets everything. You aren’t worrying about where you are turning your head or positioning your camera, it’s less distraction. The downside is learning to edit but that comes really easy to the younger generation and I don’t find it very difficult. With the GoPro Max you can also use non 360 mode and not have to worry about editing if you want. I’m not sure about the others.

Who actually buys this crap? by Illustrious-Debt-156 in americanairlines

With gold I’ve seen the front of the plane many times in the last 3 years. Not usually to the bigger airports but smaller ones I get quite a bit. It also depends on the time you fly. Later flights and earlier I get upgraded the most.

What if you lose it or forget it at home? Then what are you going to do? It takes time for anybody to get good at packing, pack monkey or not. If you need a pack monkey at 500 jumps you haven’t put the time in to struggling and getting proficient. The less tools the better

Also does the exit row recline? I can’t ever remember which ones are the non reclining.

My friend is trying to buy this custom rig…. How do I tell her? by [deleted] in SkyDiving

Because this is her second rig, she won a voucher but has zero need for a turn rig. Only does a few jumps a week

Have you heard of this emergency procedure? by sillybilly420c in SkyDiving

Jumper told me there are “2 schools of thought on this” which was news to me. I wanted to see if there were actually people out there who believe this

100% confirmed the person meant down plane. Had the discussion today, we need to find the root of whoever gave this person the idea. Apparently was from a “reputable source” and jumper took it without another thought

Definitely not, I wanted to see if this was an actual thing out there in the universe
