Deuce 1 #1 June 11, 2002 Anybody cut their Cameye II to mount it up? I see from the website there's 3 wires in the cable, any horror stories or advice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airdrew20012001 0 #2 June 11, 2002 Why cut it? The reason I ask is that there may be another solution..Drewfus McDoofus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #3 June 11, 2002 I'd cut it because the LED's are bigger than the cord, and I want the cord to come out right alongside the ringsight bracket, so I'd drill the helmet right alongside the mount. I'd cut the cord and splice it so that the re-connect is inside, under the lining pads. I looked at just bringing the cord out of the helmet alongside my face, but the hole with rubber grommet solution looks so much cleaner. I've got a Hawkeye LT.

mffi422 0 #4 June 11, 2002 I have a Hawkeye LT also. I flush mounted my Cameye from the inside under the pads and all you see is the top of the button. It's awesome looking. I can take pics and send them to you if you want.Work hard...Play harder!Dino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klingeme 1 #7 June 12, 2002 Could you post the pictures or E-mail them to me also. I'm looking to clean up my LT and would like to see what you have done.Mark Klingelhoeferfleefry@cfl.rr.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #8 June 12, 2002 Thanks Dino. Very helpful. I actually cut off the top of the little black housing and only the red button sticks up. Mine is placed on the front left flat spot right in front and to the left of the stills quick release. RUN YOUR VACUUM CLEANER IN THE HELMET WHEN YOU GRIND IN THERE PEOPLE.That freakin carbon fiber pops like popcorn when it delaminates. This was my first experience with the stuff and WOW does it want to spread out when it's drilled, ground, or cut. I ended up with a 2.5mm jack for my stills and the cameye wired pretty much like Dino's. Minimal exposed wires. It looks so cool people will be stunned by my complete squidliness in actually using all that stuff.Thanks again all,JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diverds 0 #13 June 13, 2002 Don't know if this is the same thing you guys are talking about, but here is a pic of how I mounted my cameye2 on my Optik. I drilled a hole and stuck the cameye2 through it from the inside. On the outside it only sticks out about 1/16 of an inch. Works great.-Dave"Gas...Undercarriage...Mixture...Prop...Beer" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #16 June 13, 2002 What a cool place for the button! Right in the middle of the lens graphic! I cut the housing off of the top of the button. I can't tell from your photo if it's just the red button, or if the housing and the button are there. It's still a hideously cool placement.JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 #17 June 13, 2002 I removed my cam-eye from the plastic housing. The guts of the cam-eye are hot-glued inside of the clam shell on my helmet, with only the button pushing through. I extened both the LED and plug wires as well.-Tommy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rdutch 0 #18 July 24, 2002 I had my plug go bad on my cameye2 I sent an email to info@skytools.com and they sent me 2 new plugs free. The new plugs were smaller and better made so I dont think they will break soon. But they were real easy to install. Just make sure you do them a wire at a time so you dont loose track of which is which or take a note on where each color goes. So Im just saying if you want to cut your wire you can just unsolder the line and resolder it. It will be a lot cleaner then cutting and taping the wire. You will need a hot glue gun when your done the housing is held together that way. Good Luck Ray Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
