ianw 0 #1 January 25, 2006 Does anybody know if the camera mount for the Freefly Imagem is dismountable? I'm looking to buy an open face helmet that I can use to rack up the jumps, then use for camera once I've got my C certificate. I gather that the helmet is available with or without the camera case, but I'd like to have a case that, when removed, leaves a finished looking open face helmet. I'd ask Rawa myself, but I just learned how to spell 'Portuguese', so I'm a long way from speaking it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #2 January 25, 2006 If you are asking about the video camera box itself being removable, the answer is no. the digital/top camera mount plate and bite switch from RAWA are fully removable with in a matter of seconds.

ianw 0 #3 January 25, 2006 Thanks for the info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Miami 0 #4 January 25, 2006 Is something like this what you had in mind? PM me if it is, we can discuss it and if it's something you like I can set you up for a very nice price. Hope this helps...Miami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skybytch 259 #5 January 25, 2006 QuoteI don't want to waste money on an open faced helmet only to have to replace it for a camera helmet a year down the line... Will you be jumping with your camera every time you jump once you are ready? If there will ever be times when you won't have the camera on but still want a helmet on your head, you may want two helmets. I'd suggest gettiing a Protec or equivalent inexpensive helmet for now and worry about the camera helmet when it's time.

Thanks for the advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Anvilbrother 0 #7 January 26, 2006 You "CAN" grind off the rivits that hold on the box, and order another one from them. I did that to mine in order to move it up a bit. Just grind them off, move it up mark the holes, and install some small bolts in the holes. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

There are times when i either arrive late at the DZ and have to hustle to get on a load (in which case i don't have time to rig up my camera) or i just want to get out on a H+P or a high pull without the camera, that's when i use my freefly helmet only. Plus having two also lets me lend one to someone who forgot theirs.
