j3zz 0 #1 March 8, 2005 After much looking around and searching of this forum it appears to me that thier are only 3 options as far a flat top style helmets. The Azimuth by 2 K composites, and The 2 Boneheah flattops, pro or narrow. There seam to be a few others out there but with little or no infomation on price and ordering. I am based in the UK so am inclined towards the Azimuth but just wanting to know if there are any other good options out there particularly from europe. I am intending getting a Canon eos 300D soon as well mainly for fun but also to ultimately use for tandems possibly by the end of the year. Is this camera well suited to this requirment and can it be used with the Kit lens 18-55mm. Or is it better to buy just the body and get a fixed lens if so what lens are reasonable and suitable. A bit of a mouthful I know but your comments will be appreciated. Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 0 #2 March 8, 2005 I wouldn't buy a 300D anymore, rather a 350D if you can't afford a 20D (etc). Unless you can buy a 300D real cheap 2nd hand of course The kit lens is crappy however a good fixed lens is pretty expensive ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velocityphoto 0 #3 March 9, 2005 Bonehead flat top pro is the only helmet to own as far as i'm concerned. As for lense for your digital still the sigma 15 mm fisheye around $399.00 new ..

Shyandinnocent 0 #4 March 17, 2005 I have a kick ass flat top helmet from Cookie Composites (don't know the web-adress, but just search for them) here in Australia. They don't come lighter or better. I used to jump a heavier Bonehead, but switched to Cookie because of neckproblems. They come with ready mounted videocamera boxes which are perfect sighted to the flat top. Just add cameras... Good luck It's never too late for a low turn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
