Problem sighting in video

[lister55 0]

I just recently swapped from my my "home made" camera helmet to the 2k composites FF2. I am using a cross ring sight and on the ground the video, still and sight all match perfectly. However when I get in the air, I am still looking through the center of the sight, but the images are always offset to the top right. I never had this problem untill I switched helmets. I have also heard some rumors that others have been having the same issue. Does any one know of this or have any advice?

Take a look at this page and see if it makes any sense to you.

I have done exactly as your document recomends. But no matter if I set up at a short or long distance it just seems to be incorrect in the air. I know the sight should account for shifting of the helmet, so I can not figure this one out. i have had several other video guys try to help me sight this in properly, but it makes no difference. Starting to get frustrated as I cant figure this one out.

are you sure you're not bumping the sight every time you take it off and put it on?

Have you correctly identified your dominant eye?

You might have the site mounted on the wrong side.

Have you tried just not using a sight at all? It seems as though you're not looking through the site properly. I use a dot on my glasses and have great luck, and it's easier for me to line up the dot.
Many freefliers don't use sights unless it's competetion or important jumps.


Just a suggestion

To answer all of the questions quickly... Yes I am sure I am not bumping it. Yes I have the sight on my dominate eye. And no I havent trried without the sight. Going without is not my problem. I used the same sight on my previous helmet with no problem for ~200 jumps. This is why I dont understand what is going on. Any insight on this problem is welcome.
