My Mindwarp is definitely a lovely, light and comfortable helmet but why did they give up there? Given that it is designed primarily for freeflyers, and most freeflyers wear cameras, why is the camera fitting support so bad and expensive. I looked at the D-box for the Sony PC-5 and got a fibreglassing friend to make and fitting for me instead. For a start, they could have squared a little patch on the side of the helmet at least to facilitate bolting and camera box on to. There's just so much fiddling to be done. And with the supplied D-boxes, you'd have to fibreglass around it yourself afterwards to avoid lines snagging in the sharp clefts between D-box and helmet. Also, the audible pocket, while a nice idea, is in the wrong place for most people (unless you have ears towards the back and base of your head). I had to do a lot of re-positioning and cutting of the inner foam around the ear so I could actually hear my dytter in freefall. It's all a bit of a shame for the price. It would definately be the best helmet if they would only follow through with the great design of the helmet and put a bit more thought and support into the add ons and options.
