not for safety
Rated by: Ross on 2004-02-02 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: NVERTIGO X in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: camera platform
Cons: no frontal protection

it's a good camera platform. but no frontal protection. if you want a helmet for safety use a cheap protec and modify it for a camera. if ya are willing to spend for a ready made camera platform then ok.

Average helmet
Rated by: petertgrant on 2002-10-06 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: NVERTIGO X in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Mulitiple camera and audible alti mounts
Cons: Fit

I bought this helmet 2 years ago and I found it didn't fit nearly as snug as I wanted it. I did play around with the padding supplied with it but still found it to be a little loose. I have just bought the Skysystems chin strap (which initially wasn't available for some time and this does make the helmet fit better. However trying to put this helmet on with the chin strap and over goggles is quite hard and I think that I'd have trouble getting it off in a hurry.
It's an OK helmet but next time I'll look for something else.

Good buy for me
Rated by: Yoshi on 2002-09-13 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: NVERTIGO X in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Light weight, good for side mounts, holds 2 audibles, tightens down nicely
Cons: Top mount platform is fairly small, but with a very lightweight camera (I u

This helmet has saved me from a couple incidents where if I had no helmet I could have been hurt (mid air collisions). It was reasonably priced and side mounted video is great. the top mount is pretty small which makes it hard to mount a still camera (or top mount video) without additional hardware made (usually by you) to make the platform larger. all in all I like the helmet, and now that I am not using it for a camera helmet it is great. the dial to tighten it works great to give it a "snug" fit. after many times of tightening it, though, I did have to tighten the strings inside to get it to work again. my opinion: buy it!

Useless helmet, beware
Rated by: totalcontrol on 2001-09-30 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: NVERTIGO X in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

I purchased a batch of 5 Nvertigo X helmets. The "revolutionary skydial" broke on each and every single helmet. Talk about a poor design, all it is is a piece of sting. It also does little or nothing to keep the helmet on your head. I also purchased several Oxygen helmets and one came off in freefall also !!!!! I would be very careful if considering a Sky Systems helmet, they seem to have inherant faults.
