DShiznit 0 #1 August 11, 2004 How many use this as a dual mount side video/top camera helmet? What are your opinions? I plan on starting a little bit of camera work at the beginning of the year (yes, I will be at 200 by then...) and found a helmet VERY cheap as the guy had quit jumping. Thoughts/opinions?

masher 1 #2 August 11, 2004 Does it have a chin cup? From my very limited experience, I have needed a chin cup to make my helmet feel secure on my head. Tha said, there are people who have mounted cameras on Gaths, so, who am I to nay say...?-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koz2000 1 #4 August 12, 2004 I think it'd be ok if you're only going to side-mount a camera or only top mount a camera. The chin-cup is a must for dual cameras. I'm not the biggest fan of the NvertigoX. What I'd do is when you hit 200, start doing video only first, get some camera jumps under your belt then look at a new helmet for dual mounts. Or keep two helmets, one for video only and one for multiple mounts. If you're serious about camera flying , especially with two cameras, look at the new Bonehead Illusion or the ArrowDynamics Hawkeye (what I'm currently using now with a side mount video and a 10D still on top) I'm switching out to the Illusion since the hinged chin-cup makes it a little more solid platform for what I sometimes put on the helmet (lights, flashes...)

Chapsta 0 #6 August 12, 2004 I'm not a big fan of bashing any product... but I can honestly say that after jumping the nvertigo-x for over two hundred jumps and then flying an actual camera helmet that you'd probably be better off going with one of the previously mentioned helmets. I didn't use this helmet to video (just freefly), but I can tell you that it does not have nearly the same rigidity as the helmet I fly now (sky pimp) or boneheads I've flown before. Just another opinion! Have fun! ChapsCarpe diem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
