Hey tod_k (sorry, I guess I don't know your actual name) nice setup.
I've got to ask, and this is only a question - I'm not whining - are you aware of the size (in two respects) of the pics you're sending? The first of these last ones was almost 1/2 MB and took a few minutes to arrive. The next one was 1.1 MB and there's no way I've got time to wait on something like that, even though I'd like to see it. Two things I see which are working against you:
- The image dimensions are a bit more than they need to be.
- The JPEG "quality" is awfully high at a value of 90. That's almost no compression, which is what you'd want for an image you were going to print.
For something on the 'web, 800x600 is a good dimension, and a JPEG compression quality value of 75 is more than enough fine detail.
Here's the first of those last, resized to those values for a result of less than 1/3 the amount of data.

I know it\'s just velocity.....
but could you please whip that rope, or cut off and melt the end. I think that's even against ANSI reccomendations!
Just joshing you, but if you're interested I'll whip that for 3.00, plus a whole bunch for shipping./forum/images/graemlins/boxing.gif (that's somebody getting a whipping)

Re: I know it\'s just velocity.....
Thanks in advance for making any effort.
In order for you to keep the camera set to produce quality images suitable for printing, you might investigate software to modify them after the fact to produce copies more appropriate for the WWW.
This paragraph is the last thing I put in the reply. If you're using Windows you can skip all the rest if this link I just found (http://forums.techguy.org/archive/index.php/t-231753.html) looks like something you can or would be willing to follow up on.
I did a google search for "JPEG image manipulation software" and since google's so good, it didn't surprise me much to see http://www.imagemagick.org/ at the top of the list. There is undoubtedly nothing more capable available, much less as free, but it's really more oriented to unix and/or server-based setups. The graphical interface is extremely meager on the Windows build (assuming that's what you use). If you're using Mac OS-X then you probably need look no further (as a guess on my part). If you are at all familiar with the Windows command (cmd) prompt what I did was as easy as
convert -resize 800x600 -quality 75 original.jpg modified.jpg
If you can't do that (admittedly, for some reason it's been made not-so-easy to interface with the computer outside the graphical mechanisms in Windows), then perhaps a graphical-interface-based program such as http://www.irfanview.com/ may be of assistance (I don't know just what its abilities are but it's free and widely acclaimed), or Adobe Photoshop certainly would do the trick (but it ain't free, is it?).

Re: I know it\'s just velocity.....
Todd;
In that last pic (and thanks to Glens for resizing it because otherwise my iMac can't view it) aren't the ends of the re-di positioned just the opposite of what they were in the first (also re-sized) pic? It is hard to see in this (the last) pic, but it looks like the Revolver is now on the left. It also looks like you have added a second carabiner beside the Revolver. Why? Doesn't the eye of your line just pass through the Revolver and then also pass through the second 'biner? Why add a second 'biner if the rope runs on the Revolver and passes through both 'biners?
I've also milked a bunch (6-8 feet) off of my Velocity.

thanks

Jim unhook your splice and pull it threw the revolver and biner and the snap catches/stops the splice, pull the redirect and splice end of your rope back to you and on you go...

Wow, haven't seen this thread in a few years, but I remember it well, as I feel that it was the best one yet on redirects.
I believe that Treemangineers have updated and come out with a new locking revolver since this was last posted back in 2004 which would change the way that Tod has his redirect set up?

The third biner can be eliminated with a locking revolver now I think. No need to have the two biners together as in Tod's first picture.
