Item: FF2 
Manufacturer: 2K Composites   (2855 Hits)
   

Description:
The FF2 has been designed to provide you with the option of using a stills camera in addition to a video camera. All camera angles have been lined up 'true to line of sight', so there is little compromise to body position or angle.

The exterior of FF2 is smooth, so there is little worry of line snags thus dramatically reducing the need to cut the helmet away. In addition, all angles on the FF2 have been ergonomically designed to make them aerodynamic and quieter at high speeds.

The built in video camera housing has been moulded into the shell and not bolted onto the exterior of the camera, making this the narrowest helmet on the market.

FF2
Rated by: skydive_steve (more about me) on 2009-01-17 21:50:37 (user reviews) Review ID:2125

Pros: good design ideas
Cons: long leed time,poor finish,poor customer service,overpriced

I had a FF2 for a very short time. When the helmet finally arrived there were flaws in the finish. The factory basically said that it could be returned if I paid shipping and handling both ways. This included a very expensive cardboard box and bubble wrap. I decided to live with the poor finish and found that the camera that I specified wouldn't fit. I cut my losses and sold it for cheap. I love my Cookie helmet.

The only all in one Helmet. Love it.
Rated by: maddiver (more about me) on 2008-05-17 03:14:33 (user reviews) Review ID:1979

Pros: Service, Confort, safe, design, all in one!
Cons: none

I've been jumping my FF2 for almost 2 years now. Worth every penny. Some people may think it's a bit pricey but not at all. When you think about all the amount money we put there and there for cameye, gaf tape, Paint, fibre glass, neoprene, cut away system over the price of a regular camera helmet, you may end up paying more. This is a neat all in one ready to jump helmet. Comfort, and look is perfect. Also give full protection to your camera = longer life :). The design is also snag free and can avoid an undesired cutaway. Over the product it self, the service offer by 2kcomposite, before and after is just amazing. the guys even answer question I had after 2 years when I put my still picture camera on top. Note as well, the guys will do custom paint job on demand... 11 on 10 Blue sky Alex

Rated by: mgoldade (more about me) on 2007-09-18 22:14:50 (user reviews) Review ID:1870

Pros: Fit, Comfort, Built in Cam-eye, Adjustable Shelf, 2 audible slots, No snag points!!!
Cons: None

Ok, the wait time was what they told me, but it was long. However, when I finally received my new helmet, I forgot all about how long it took! I now have over 20 jumps with my new lid and love it! The directions included for mounting the ringsite were great, as were the directions for mounting the chincup cut-away. The fit is amazing! The comfort of the helmet is second to none! I ordered a custom paint job and they NAILED IT!!!! It looks hot! I just emailed them a photo of me in freefall in my jumpsuit for color matching and they got it exact! I could not ask for anything better! Dawn was my contact at 2K and she was great at relaying info as to my delivery time and when I emailed them back to add the ringsite she was quick to get it done! The customer service is second to none! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase a new helmet anyday! Thanks so much for taking such great care of me and for providing me with such a great helmet!
