Speaking of the 10D, who has it top-mounted or front-mounted?

Lew, the 10D body is also about twice the weight of the Canon Rebels you may already be familiar with.

I think you can probably get away with front mounting it, but be prepared for a little extra neck strain.

BTW, the 20mm is a good starting lens.

Hey guys, how is your 10D mounted? anyone on the L-bracket on your forehead? what lense are you using? how far does it stick out?

thanks!

Both JP Furnari (diablopilot) and Peter Galli (BlazeTailMan) have FT Pro's and front mount the 10D on an L bracket. I think they both have that Sigma 15. Galli still has the lens cap for his:P.

I've got both the 10D and my PC-1 top mounted on my FlatTop Pro.
I'm using the Canon 20mm USM lens.
I was very surprised at how far back on the helmet I could mount the 10D and none of the helmet is in the frame. I did a lot of testing before I drilled any holes. This setup allows for the weight of the camera to be centered very well on top the helmet.
