6 jumps today, including a 'hop and pop' and 2 coach jumps where i have to dock (join up) with another jumper. I can't claim they were great, but the coach thought they were better than they expected for this level so all good! Only some exam questions now and an A licence beckons.

Here's some comparison footage of the 3 new 1080p video modes alongside the original HD hero 1080p mode. Plus a still from the new one. I love the fact I can get 170o FOV in 1080p now.
See side by side comparison here:

A pretty nifty electric projection screen. It is glass bead coated for a nice reflective picture, and radio operated. screen is 90" (7 1/2 feet) diagonal.
Paired up with a 720p toshiba DLP projector, it gives a fecking awesome movie picture, and since it is all hooked up to a wee asus netbook (720p capable thanks to the hyperthreading ATOM), I can surf on it too.
Pluggin in one of my more powerful laptops, and it is a gamers wet dream :-)

Just thought I'd quickly upload this video I took last night. The quad doesn't really have enough power to lift the go pro properly at the moment, so a fresh battery only gets it up to 40 feet or so for a few seconds.

A nice 60 min flight over the hill known as 'The Map of Africa'. I think I got higher than anyone else that day - sneaking bits of lift from here and there, but in the end the wind was picking up a bit, so it was time to land - back on the top.

An organised trip with XTC Paragliding to Slovenia earlier this year. Some awesome flying, including flying up to Triglav - the highest mountain in Slovenia at over 9300 feet.
