  1. To share: I have made a few jumps (about 10) with my Recon and comment on the following (not in any particular order of importance): 1 -I am using mine with a Salomon Brigade helmet (pic enclosed). The helmet and the google fit very well together and are very comfortable 2 - I definitely loose some field of view - specially trying to look at the handles - I have changed my EP for that - do some on the plane with the googles on (about 5-10 times) while climbing 3 - Cross checked the altitude shown on the HUD while climbing and perfectly matches the altimeter and the Neptune 4 - while flying, I checked the altitude against the altimeter and in 10 jumps, 9 was ok. In one particular jump was off (higher in some 300ft) not sure the cause - confirmed also by my Altima audible. 5 - After first 40 seconds of flight (not sure why) it gets difficult to visualize the HUD and I don't pay attention more to it and focus on my flight only. It appears to me that by moving my head to the sides or down it may change the position of the HUD inside the googles (although it is really tight on the helmet and on my face). 6 - For those familiar with the Tonysuit wing suits, it gets difficult with the googles to see place to attach the leg wing (not sure exactly the term - but i its a little button to connect the wing once the canopy is open - not a hassle but with no googles (like with my FF) is pretty easy to see. 7 - The adjustment of altitude to the DZ is a pain...one click for every 3 feet (surely could be better) Finally, I think would be nice to have it installed in a full face like Z1 (maybe towards the chin??) which offers great field of view. Have yet to download the data and play with it... Cheers GB
  2. Hi Just wondering if you had success integrating the Recon Flight HUD into the helmet? Regards GB
  3. By the way check the address he sent me...definetely is different to the one he sent before: >> >> Paul Countenay >> Kroncke road 11 >> London, SW16 1AE >> United Kingdom >> (+44) 020-8123-1032
  4. The address he has provided does not exist. You can try to locate with any web system (google map, white pages etc) the postal code takes you to a different street name. It is a scam.

    I had the pleasure to visit the area and stay for the weekend. Despite my limited experience (160 Jumps on that time), had a chance to participate in good loads, meet experience and friendly skydivers. The DZ infrastructure is impressive. Keep the good work and thanks!
