Z1

Recommended Posts

I saw a guy at Zhills this week with a Z1 that had a camera mount on the side. It was a disk about 2 inches across. It allowed full function of the visor.
(mounted low on the jaw line) He had a Sony (TG)(?) in an alum. box fixed to the mount. Never seen anything like this over here. ( I think he's part of the German invasion) Didn't get to talk to him. Anyone seen anything like this? I have a new Mamba and was just wondering about mounting a cam.
I'm behind the bar at Sloppy Joe's....See ya in the Keys!

We have a few custom helmets like that here, with the smallest possible cameras (pc106/107/109). However it's not optimal: no cutaway on the helmet possible (so not allowed to jump at some dropzones/countries) and one of our instructors already lost his camera due to riser strike. Also these helmets are not very usuable WITHOUT the camera, as with most sidemount helmets so you'd need 2 helmets unless you jump with camera 100% of the time. These helmets at our DZ are used by AFF instructors, they need the fullface and need a very small sidemount and are all very experienced jumpers. For other situations, there are much better (safer for you and for your camera) options.
