bigdad510 1 #3 November 25, 2006 I checked out thefirst one and I haven't seen anything newon thier website since 2002. I've emailed them several times with no reply. Has onyone bought anything recently from them? The second, its an option, but seems really expesive to me. I just bought high grade neoprene to make my own for under $15. Thanks for the post!Brad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miami 0 #4 November 25, 2006 I bought a video and still camdom from competition helmets not too long ago, and I also had trouble getting in touch with them. You can try pming Bob.Dino on here...he helped a ton in getting in touch with them. Good luck in making one...I tried that route first and it is hard! Make sure you have neoprene that is lined with nylon on both sides at least...that will make it a bit easier to sew.Miami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlvaroCarvalho 0 #5 November 25, 2006 Just got mine from Competition... It took a little longer than normal...not because I´m in Brazil and they are in Australia...but because they didn´t have any 400D to shape the glove. Anyway...it´s a great piece of work. Cheers! Hey...ho...let's go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimoke 0 #8 November 30, 2006 I am not sure how you are mounting this to your helmet. I always look for snag hazards. I am not saying you have one, but the possiblity exists. I photoshopped yor photo to reflect my thoughts. Stay safe, jimokeThe ground always, remembers where you are! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blitzkrieg 0 #10 November 30, 2006 you are correct about a "possible" snag hazard. but in my box, it is still much better off than just stuck naked on top like i see the majority of people doing. furthermore, a still camera itself is a snag hazard in any configuration. snags are definitely "possible", but they don't concern me much.

stuntquest 0 #11 November 30, 2006 I have a camdom from competition helmets for my old 300d and am using it on my 350d. i believe the 400d is the same size as the 350d. it's not a snug fit but it does fit. you should persist with contacting them as their product is good. i will have a chat to their boss stitcher now and let them know about contact difficulties.

Other than front mounting or completely centered on a large platform helmet. Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigdad510 1 #14 December 5, 2006 Just wanted to let everyone know, I'm making my own still condom out of 2mm neo, its coming out really well. If you need one, let me know, I might start making some for sale$$$Brad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree using a stroboframe or a GM, does make a potential hazard. I personally use a front mount. which still has potential snag points as well. but, I also use a lot of gaffers tape layered to eliminate as much as I can, lets face it no helmet is snag-proof, but some helmets i have seen look like they are an accident waiting to happen. my observation of his setup was not even on his helmet. just my 2 cents Stay Safe JimokeThe ground always, remembers where you are!
