Funny how a lot of people have misread the post. I didn't mention GoPro once. The camera I was talking about was a Contour and the mount was the cookie side mount for the G3. I think someone really summed it up pretty well by saying hanging from your neck is not fun...
I think I will invest my time and money in a camera specific helmet.
Thanks for the info guys

200 jumps would be something to be recommended as well b4 doing camera jumps...


the cutaway systems work on latched/strapped closing helmets. I believe the G3 doesn't have one.

(where is the roll eyes smiley?)
Yes. I do know that... Not what I'm asking

Hey all,

I want to mount a contour camera to my G3 with the Cookie mount that fits on the side plate. The CCI at my home DZ insists that my helmet has a cutaway installed before I can jump with the camera. I have read a few posts on dropzone.com about guys that have modified there helmets with teflon cables and spring-mounted pins but haven't seen any photos or seen any in the flesh. I have come across this issue A LOT and have even contacted cookie themselves, who buy the way don't have any such system.
So the issue is this, with a fullface like the G3, how affective would a cutaway system for the whole helmet be. Is this the way to go? Or would it be a better idea to have the camera on an independent cutaway?
My G3 is brad new and I do not want to get another helmet just so I can stick a contour on there.
Any help you guys can offer me is greatly appreciated.

Nice! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna send an email now and organise some coaching.

Hey,

I'm gonna be in Gap next month and I would like to improve my FF skills. Does anyone know any FF coaches based on the DZ or can recommend one?

I've searched the forum already and someone has asked this question but it was back in 2004 and there were no replies...
