My feedback about G3 and cameras : I wanted only one helmet, full-face, with the possibility to put a go pro (or other small camera). At t he beginning, i had a go pro 4 silver, without the roller mount , so i came with this kind of mount : If was "risk acceptable" for me to jump such a helmet, but it was very "high" mounted, and in some planes, the top of the camera was touching the wing. So i bought the gopro4 session, changed the bold to a hex bolt : I really like this mount, it never get caught in my lines on landing, never touch the wings, quality is fine for what i do, snag risk is quite low

Thanks, i will try to test Sabre2/Safire2/Pilot and choose the one that's best for me. I want to keep Crossfire/Zulu and Stiletto for 120/135 size with a better wingload in the future ! For the Sabre2 / Safire2 / Pilot, do you know which one is known to pack smaller ?

Hi, currently jumping an old PF Electra, i'm looking for a new canopy for next season. My WL on that canopy is around 1.23 lb/sqft (exit weight ~205lb, 170sqft canopy). I'm looking for a 150sqft canopy, i will be loading it at 1.36 lb/sqft. My profile : ~400 jumps, and around 150/year I want : - a fun canopy - reactive canopy on harness / toggle / riser inputs - more speed on landings - something not too extreme What should i consider in the PD range, Aerodyne Range, and Icarus range ? Best would be PD models, easily triable in PD Demo Tours in Europe. After some researches, i noted : - PD Sabre 2 - PD Stiletto - Icarus Safire 2 - Aerodyne Pilot I excluded : - Aerodyne Zulu (seems to require higher wingload) - Icarus Crossfire 2 (seems to require higher wingload) Should i consider : - PD Storm (7cell) - PD Spectre (7cell) Will a 7-cell fit my requirements about fun / some speed on landings, ... ? Thanks for your feedbacks.

i tried it for 10 jumps on my G3, for skydiving, it's a huge improvement on the Gopro : the lower profile is great in small planes such as Pilatus porters, and snag hazard is reduced compared to a full-sized gopro. For the video quality, i did not noticed any difference with my previous 4 silver, but i'm not a video professional.

If you can find one that fits your head, Snowboarding / skying helmets makes pretty good skydiving helmets for the price they cost !
