Headdown with top mount Helmet

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I'm going to buy a camera helmet soon and need some advice.
I'd like to have a top and side mount, so i can have a still and video camera someday.
But i also want to use that helmet on freefly jumps. Those flat tops of some camera helmets look like they might create a lot of pressure when flying headdown. Is that going to be a problem? What's your experience with this in general and what's your experience with Tonfly's CC1 and Solar Converter concerning headdown flying?


Greetings,
Hannes

If you are just talking about the small portion on top of a FF camera helmet, you will not notice any difference. If you're talking about a flat top pro, you will feel some pressure at first, but quickly goes away. What to remember though is where is all your drag coming from in headdown? Your legs. Think about the surface area of your legs in comparison to the 6 square inches of flatness provided by the helmet.
