ltdiver 3 #2 March 10, 2003 Josh, I bow to your experience and 8,000 jumps. However, if you do a search here on this newsgroup you'll see that this subject has been discussed at length before. See THIS THREAD for example. First off...not recommended due to the safety issue of having something anchored from your head (lens) to the chest mount (recorder). Makes cutting away a camera helmet a bit dicey. On the camera quality issue, I'll let quade answer that one for you. blues, ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #3 March 10, 2003 I've experimented with a few configurations on planes. At the Eloy Boogie, I mounted a camera inside and outside a few different airplanes, with a very sturdy clamping system. I've found it easier than trying to run wires from a mounted camera to a deck. I think it was Jason Bell built a pretty sweet gizmo he calls the "Rhino Cam" that has a lipstick camera mounted on a short pole attached to a helmet, pointed at the wearer. Might be what you're looking for as far as putting one on a body. His website: http://www.vertical-visions.com/ I've used a few types of belly mounts that give good perspectives, and a foot-mounted camera that was very well thought out (Bonehead Shu-Vue). The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
