hahaha, just ask Hau HAHAHAHA, sorry, he just insists on using them inspite of the fact that he seems to break them monthly.
He is rigging his new truck so he prolly wont be on the forum much in the next few days, but he loves his ICE fins and will be sure to give a comment
mine broke fairly quick and omer replaced them. But when they break again, they will say warranty is over.
LOL really? did you weigh both of them?
Not being round with a space in between the wires, how does the band seal around the mares wishbones?
LOL really....Do you really need to weigh them to tell one is lighter than the other? Unless you have magic stainless steel. You could say yours is much stronger and durable but not lighter.
Nice gun. Congrats. How much they go for?
I don't know why you guys are so excited about that POS folded wire with a ball. Here are the new Pursuit wishbone inserts, stainless steel, super light, the holes are completely smooth/deburred, and the length is perfect. You don't even need a tool to get them into the band, just lubricate with spit and push in. The wishbone end of the ball is flat so it will never pull out. Other wishbone inserts look very nice in pictures but in real life are too/unnecessarily bulky. The Pursuit guns will have these wishbone inserts as standard rigging.
I don't like all that extra weight. Those wire ones are super light.
those wishbones are badass! anyone know how much they are?
I don't understand the second part of your post. But chest, upper ab whatever you want to call is simply painful by comparison to hip loading. I look at guy's faces when they're chest loading and I can see the strain. I'm pretty relaxed when I hip load.
I'm sorry i meant chest padding like on the wetsuit. I also cut a soft flip flop and glued it to the butt end of speargun. This with the combination of chest/abs protection should not be painful at all. You generate way more power when loading from the chest.
Dan,
Why is chest loading or upper abs loading uncomfortable? I think if there wasn't any padding on the chest or upper abs, it would be uncomfortable too.
Display MoreI bought a ScanDisk Ultra 16GB card. I was not aware of the classes...it is a class 4. I figured it was the best since it was $90. I switched from using the 5 (1080) setting to the 4 (720) setting because the 5 setting was a little choppy. I guess I need to play around with it a little more and figure out if it is my computer or the card.
I uploaded a video to youtube using the 4 setting from the eyeofmine case. I noticed a white ring from the video. The instructions told me to black out the silver ring around the lense. However, I never noticed it before I put it on youtube.
The 4 setting really looks great on my computer and when I burn it to DVD. However, obv I would like to use the 5 setting if it is smooth.
Nice video.
The problem is your computer not the card. You can test this by playing back the video by connecting the camera to a flat screen tv. You will enjoy the r5 setting more.
I recommend changing the oil of the gun every year. A tiny bit of water can somehow get in it. It is super cheap to do and i think worth it to keep the orings lubricated. When you change the oil, inspect the oring on the piston. The oring should be fine very many years. That's it!
The piston is poor quality. Will rust in short time and eventually scratch the inner barrel.
That is not true. That piston is very good quality. The mares pistons are junk. This one is machined and can take hits very well. The mares ones are molded together. If you keep oil in gun, it will not rust. It will get tiny stains on it but not rust where the integrity will be harmed.
You will never be able to pump that gun up to its potential with a hand pump. That gun is a seac with different colors. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Thanks Harry.
Do you have a source for these pins if it is bent?
Scubasworld is the only place i know.
R5 setting
1 Patriot class 6 16gb memory
2 batteries or 3 batteries if you dive aggressive
The problem lies where the pin pushes the trigger. There is a very small oring there that the pin goes through. You have to make sure there is oil there or it will leak. Make sure you check to see if the oring is ok. A lot of times, the gun doesn't have oil in it and it messes up there. Also make sure the pin is not bent because of improper dismantling.
thanks Harry, I do use VLC, it rules... is there a program you recommend to convert to Mpeg2 and will mpeg2 work on youtube as I have had to convert everything to AVI which is a PIA.
if you saw my 5 year old, homemade laptop, you'd understand why playing these videos feel like magic <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> haha
My playback was a little bit choppy at times. I changed my OS to windows 7 and my computer flys. I dont remember which program is good to convert to mpeg2. I would really suggest you read some threads on Rambos forum. Goproforums. There is a lot of helpful info there. Youtube does take mpeg2.
Use VLC player
Covert to mpeg2
You can also covert 1080p to 720p
POOF! MAGIC!
I suggest you go to Rambos forum. It has all the info you need.
i use the r3 setting which is 720 at 60fps..i like the ability to go slomo...i do not find the vignetting to be an issue on that setting as it is out in the corners and minimal.
the 1080 stuff is way too large and often will never play right on my POS computer, but it does look amazing on my 56" tv <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
720p in 60fps and 1080p at 30fps stresses the computer the same. There are a few things you can do to help run the files better.
720p will make everything look way too small and far away. You will notice this once you start filming. 1080p will show the images much closer.
Well that kind of sucks with the black ring visible at some settings. Rambo pretty much called that one dead on. What setting will you typicall use?
R5 is the best setting for what we do. And it should work fine the way you did it.
Nice clean work!
thanks for sharing.
