mountainman 0 #1 May 10, 2001 Hey all!I am wondering what kind of helmet set-up most freeflyers use. I really like the ones with the side mounted camera instead of the top-mounted. What kind of helmet/camera/casing set-up is most reliable and common? I won't be jumping one anytime soon, but would like to start looking just to get ideas. I was thinking as far as the camera is concerned, since I don't need anything real fancy, a Sony PC-3 would suffice. I just need something digital that I can plug into my 1394 plug (firewire). And as far as helmet/casing goes, what is your ideas?My idea is something like this.Thanks a lot!MORE SKYDIVING PHOTOS ADDED!!!http://www.onu.edu/user/student/stu5784/thisone.jpg" target="_new">this.Thanks a lot!MORE SKYDIVING PHOTOS ADDED!!!

freefalljunky 0 #3 May 28, 2001 I just started flying a camera. I have a JVC DVM70U. I mounted it in a X-Jacket on a Bonehead. My main consern was openning shock, due to the extra weight, but I hardly even notice it is there. I was going to just get a L-bracket, but 90 percent of my jumps are out of a C182. And not being used to jumping with a camera I was afraid I'd beat the heck out of it. So far so good!Good luck & Blue skiesTracy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikyflia 0 #4 May 30, 2001 Ciao, I use a Gath helmet with a PC5 on the side with a L aluminum plate so that I can turn it upside-down. I think the gath elmet, even if it's made of plastic, it's the best one: very thick (less possibility to deal with the opening), and not too expensive!blue skiesViky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
