danjbishop 0 #1 July 22, 2002 I will be adding a 35mm (actually a Canon D60) to my hawkeye lt. I've seen the stroboframe quick release, but I'm wondering if there are other mounting options (i.e. thumb screw directly from inside the helmet, lower profile quick release, etc). I'm looking for as low a profile as possible. I don't want to permantly mount the camera, but I don't need to be able to take it off in 3 seconds either. Any other considerations (mount forward or back, etc)? Mostly, I will be freeflying. Also - what to people do with their bite switches when they aren't shooting stills? I'm assuming I will leave the bite switch wire in place, but look for a way to tape it down. Any feedback on the canopus bite switch? Thanks! - Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #2 July 22, 2002 If you're not in a hurry, I think a thumbscrew would work. You'd want to glue in a washer or something to spread the load when you torqued it down. My conceptus tongue switch fits behind the ear pad on the flat side of the helmet, I leave it attached. The audibles go behind the other ear pad. You're not going to get lower profile quick release than the stroboframe. I've got mine mounted longwise on the top and it works fine. It also aligns the camera each time, you'd have to come up with something to align the thumbswitch version, and I bet you'd spend less time and money just hooking up a stroboframe. Some folks like the Velbon, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
