Nono 0 #1 January 3, 2003 I'm planning to by a Sony PC101 very soon and I'm still wondering which helmet I should purchase (N-VertigoX, Bonehead Minwrap...?). I want to mount my camera on the side and I don't really want to have a huge ugly looking flattop. Does anyone have a suggestion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMonkey 0 #2 January 3, 2003 QuoteI don't really want to have a huge ugly looking flattop don't get the nvertigo, it has a flat top...the 101 is small enough that any helmet you put it on will be fine, that leaves you to decide on the look of the helmet and relative comfort....and since apparently look is very important to you, pick whatever helmet is the most aesthetically pleasing to you - imo --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

The Bonehead Optik would leave you with a flat top, but if you ever wanted to add stills down the road you might be glad you had it. It's also very comfortable.

I love my Rawa, got a PC101 in it. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_threaded;post=318214;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC; It does have a little flat top thing, but check out the pictures in the link above and see what you think.

CrazyIvan 0 #5 January 4, 2003 Now that you're asking about camera helmets, I have a question, which type would you also recommend? Open face (like Optik) or full-face (kinda) like BH Flat-top pro?__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

OmriMon 0 #6 January 4, 2003 in my opinion it depends on how much mounting space u need, if ur planing to do serious camera work an plan on makin it a proffesion u might b better off with a flat top, if ur planin to do recreational camera work (freeflying, wutever) ur better of with an optik/rawa. it also depends how much ur willing to spend. if i had 650$ to spend i would defenatly go with the flat top right now i own a optik with a side mounted pc-9 and a top mounted canon rebel 2000 and i'm VERY happy with it!

oosskis 0 #7 January 4, 2003 The best helmet I've seen is made by a guy in England. Carbonfiber like the bonehead, but the sidemounted camera is integrated rather than attached. A lot flatter profile and less likeliness of riser hangup. A smooth piece... Unfortunately, I don't know the company, but go on a net search, I'm sure you'll find it."Bodygolfing" isn't as much fun as it sounds. People get pissed when you don't replace your divets.

CrazyIvan 0 #9 January 5, 2003 I'd use it for recreational purposes, I like the TOP mount, not the side mount. thanks__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
