BlueSBDeath 2 #1 July 19, 2004 Is anyone mounting their still on the top without the use of a strobo-frame or gold-member? I want to know how to keep it tight enough to not turn very easily, or am I just a puss and need to put some ass into it???

Yeah, put some ass into it ha ha Use some cork or something, glue that to the top of your helmet and you're done... I like the stroboframe (I haven't seen the goldmember so I can't comment on it) because it allows you to quickly add or remove the camera from your helmet without having to deal with screws..

tonyhays 86 #4 July 19, 2004 Before I broke down and got a stroboframe, I was using a piece of grip-tape ( I think that is what it's called, maybe super-velcro?) and a tripod screw. It kept it from turning. but was a hassle to take off.“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoym 0 #8 July 20, 2004 I made a simple 'L' bracket. In addition to the thumb screw, I attach a strap to the top of the camera and the 'L' bracket where the neck strap would attach to the camera. It might be more than is needed to attach it but it is secure. The 'L' bracket is a bit taller than the camera. The hope is that it might take the hit from the ceiling of the airplane instead of the camera. Also, there is a little support for the remote cable attachment point. Not much but a little bit none the less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
