  1. Sorry to hear that, hopefully it led the FAA to tighten the screws on some regs or idk what may have helped. I think I saw Gopro footage of the 2016 crash at some point if it was the flip-over. Looking back at the news interviews of Dause saying the forgery didn't happen was strange. He can claim ignorance but to be so certain in defending an eventual conviction and prison sentence is suspicious.
  2. DZ was non-USPA so Dause did not ask to see licenses for jumpers either so he certainly did not know everything. He may have asked to see logbooks for newcomers on a case by case basis. But since USPA has no official authority, I'm not sure why checking credentials matters. Even if he did check, he would've had to check periodically because the forging instructor did have valid creds at one point. So even a USPA DZ might not have caught the forgeries in time. Would be curious to hear from the lawyers on this forum on piercing the corporate veil. Doesn't sound like corporate veil is much of a concept if it can be pierced with no criminal conviction on Dause? I saw elsewhere that the instructor whose signature was forged won a $150k judgement against USPA. Sounds like the court in that case established that any wrongdoing was solely on the forger's (Pooley) part. Does that have any effect on Dause' case? I'm assuming he's appealing the $40M judgement. Dause had to turn over business assets including planes but I see from recent online reviews that Lodi is still doing tandems albeit in a smaller plane. How does that work if he claimed he doesn't have $40M and was ordered to turn over planes? Running a new business off of social security funds? Is any of that garnished toward the $40M?
  3. Curious what tipped the scales for the winner in this election? Bigger home dz?
  4. All I could find was: https://www.aviationpros.com/fbos-tenants/news/21227895/skydiving-instructor-linked-to-deadly-2016-jump-at-lodi-airport-arrested-on-federal-charges
  5. Reviews show gimbal-like stabilization with softer colors. Seen anyone jump with it?
  6. Good time filler movie. I guess the Bonehead Aero is Halo certified now. Or was it modified for the O2.
  7. Chin mount, mountain biker: https://youtu.be/V1d8_RyGi1g
  8. You could wear a 2nd one but what do you do with real time speed info? Going for a PR in speed?
  9. Are you using 2 for 3D? 360? Different angles? Which mount are you using? Since you're mounting further back, is the viewing angle elevated much?
  10. Yes, space reasons in tight planes. This thing doesn't look that different from the Contour that's usually mounted on the side. Top mount also blocks visors from going up. I'm almost tempted to try chin mount. ETA: just saw this, for those with access to 3D printing. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2014787 User also has one for X3000 but this one has mounted pics.
  11. Anyone tried this on a common skydiving helmet? https://www.sony.com/electronics/actioncam-mounting-accessories/vct-hsm1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLoVtuY-JHg
  12. Anyone tried jumping with it? http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/olympus_tg_5_review/
  13. Has this thing taken over new camera purchases or are people still getting GoPro for the form factor (ie chin mount) / inertia?
