BillPaine 0 #1 January 12, 2007 I'd like to find out if anyone is developing freefall communication systems mounted in full-face helmets. For example, in a perfect world a four-way team should be able to talk to each other in free-fall. Similarly, the ability for jump masters to be able to talk directly to their AFF students in free-fall for their first few stages would certainly be an improvement on the usual hand signals. As regards the obvious problem of wind noise, devices are already available in aviation that cancel out background noise. Can anyone bring me up to date on this.

BillPaine 0 #3 January 12, 2007 G'day Dave. That's what I'm taking about! Do you know if any of the Picton guys are using this system at the moment?"We have met the enemy...and he is us." Pogo www.mondo-fiasco.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 0 #4 January 12, 2007 QuoteHere you go. I'll put in a good word for this system. I had a chance to use it once, receiving only. Norman Kent was taking some photos of me and a few other people in wingsuits. Mike (Swanson, whose company this is) gave Norm the mic and the 3 of us receivers, so he could position us in the air for his photos. We could all hear him clear as day. The only bad thing was as we flew through the designated breakoff altitude and heard "hold it steady guys, I need more shots" in the earpiece. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #5 January 12, 2007 I'll second Matt's good word. I've coached with Mike at Perris and the system was unbelievably clear and made a huge difference to the coaching i recieved from him. Being able to hear someone giving instructions rather than hand signals was incredible. The strating the debrief under canopy was pretty cool too Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm almost certain that no-one in Australia has one. Check the cost. Hope Nagambie is treating you well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillPaine 0 #7 January 15, 2007 But I wonder if the significant cost is the only reason for this equipment not being used extensively."We have met the enemy...and he is us." Pogo www.mondo-fiasco.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
