what Camera, video and helmet are the best

[Shaneshaw 0]

G'day guys, About to get my C license shortly and i wish to get the best available gear for camera work.

Was wondering what is the best camera to buy ?
best Video camera ?
best helmets ?

for the record i currently have a cookie G3 which i will mount my go Pro on. However i really would like to do camera work and will want to buy a new camera helmet to put a camera on top and also a video cam on the side or sides. I would love to get the best available as not really worried about the price and would prefer to buy the best now then to do it later.

i have been into photography for awhile anow and as an example i already own a Canon 1DX, 40D and 5D ii. dont have a video camera as yet except the go pro.

Also when it comes to helmets what would you siuggest that has all the bells and whistles on it.

thanks in advance.

A Bonehead flat top pro or a Sky Systems Wes Vapor, assuming you want a high-grade camera platform.

Best still - any of the Canon EOS line - even the older XT and XTI cameras are high enough resolution, and readily available used for cheap. Keep in mind that a bad opening can (and I've seen it recently!) rip that helmet right off your head. Or that you might have to cut it away...

Best video - Any of the Sony CX line, again including the older CX100, CX110, and CX150's which can be purchase used for cheap.

Best helmet - totally agree with DSE, Bonehead FTP or Sky Systems Wes Vapor Pro. Get a cutaway system on it. ;-)
