RoysPlayThing 0 #1 March 20, 2007 I'm hoping this is the right place to ask, but we are looking for a clean finish top mounted camera helmet for Roy. I'm a bit worried about his current side mount because of his last chop because of his lines getting caught on his side mount. Luckily when he cut away the line broke and it didn't break his neck, but his camera helmet also doesn't have a cutaway system on it, and this incident reminded me of this. He has mentioned to me and others that he's been doing the side mount thing all this time and nothing happened before... but I guess it only takes that one time to be a different story. So, sorry if I'm just sounding just like a worried S.O. But I'm hoping for some ideas, maybe links to sites etc. and where we can look for good clean (meaning no extensions for lines to get caught on) top mount camera helmets with a cutaway system for a camera and video. I thank you in advance for any help. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyZ 0 #2 March 20, 2007 The Cookie MXV: http://www.cookiecomposites.com/shop/helmets/5/index.htm and the Bonehead Optik http://www.cookiecomposites.com/shop/helmets/5/index.htm are two good ones for top mounted video cameras. If you need to be able to mount more than one camera (like an additional still camera) you should look at Boneheads other helmets. Cookie and Bonehead both make nice boxes that will protect the camera and reduce snag points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #3 March 20, 2007 Simple, tell Roy (chopchop) to copy either Iwan's or JP kelly's helmet. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Have you looked at the flat top pro? one day I will be cool and buy one of those but I will have to wait for now. Roy could mount a VW bug on the FTP and still have room on the side to open the dorr and step out. (well, not really but there's a lot of room and they are sweet helmets.)My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miami 0 #5 March 21, 2007 Take a look at 2KComposites...the FF2 is a great snag free option if he wants to stick with a side mount setup, or the Azimuth if he wants to go with the top mount option. If you want more info on them just PM me and I'll fill you in! (or you can take a look at my site, linked below) Hope that helps!Miami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallycat 0 #7 March 21, 2007 I just got a helmet with a top mount from Cookie Composites and it is an amazing work of art. I got to use it for the first time in Eloy the last two weeks and could not be happier and also got lots of comments from other jumpers in regards to how clean it is. Well worth checking them out and they have been excellent to work with! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
