NSEMN8R 0 #77 April 11, 2005 Well, I jumped that nose heavy helmet all weekend after taking ltdivers advice on the ringsight . It worked but my neck hurts. Velocityphoto if your offer is still open I'd really like to take you up on it. If you pm me your address I'll send the $20 tomorrow or if pay pal works for you that's cool too. If that isn't any better I'm going to skip my house payment this month and buy an FTP. Thanks again you guys for all the help. I really do appreciate it. Check it out. Here's my very first freefall still picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ269J 0 #79 April 11, 2005 Slowly pieced this together, so far I love it. I have a dozen jumps or so on it. I especially like the cut away system on it. Holds my PC100 and Canon G2 for stills w/ a tongue switch.Also I use a cross hair ring sight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pcalandra 0 #83 April 11, 2005 I think you misunderstood, I'm talking about the circular thing on the back of your helmet, with the yellow label above it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalle 0 #84 April 11, 2005 the circular thing is a allen head screw, its used to hold the inner portion of the helmet in place, Im not sure what the yellow sticker is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazydiver 0 #86 April 13, 2005 Here are my video helmets. The "old" helmet I used for about 500 jumps and worked great, It was custom made for me by a friend and has customizable liner adjustments for each jump. (its for sale too if you're interested) I just needed more space to mount so I just set up this flat top narrow. I haven't even got to jump it yet! But, hopefully it'll be beer this weekend!

crazydiver 0 #87 April 13, 2005 What brand/model of quick release do you have on your still mount? I'm looking for a more stable system to replace my stroboframe. Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vdschoor 0 #88 April 13, 2005 QuoteWhat brand/model of quick release do you have on your still mount? I'm looking for a more stable system to replace my stroboframe. I think the most stable would be the thumbscrew only... since that attaches straight to the platform in the front.. Are you having problems with your stroboframes? Mine seem to be rock solid, no stability or shake issues at all. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaGimp 0 #89 April 14, 2005 boneheads goldmember is actually easier to mount and more stable then the stroboframe"Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazydiver 0 #90 April 14, 2005 My stroboframe rocks a little forward and backward. Its mounted flush and securely, its within the mechanism. Nothing major, but kind of a bad trait in a mounting system. I thought the gold member looked good, but I hate shelling out money to bonehead. THey sell their name, thier dboxes are ridiculous. The only product that I would ever buy from them again is a flat top since they are the best and the only ones who make them. Other than that, so much better products in other places. I bought the stroboframe for 45 bucks. 80 bucks for a gold member is ridiculous when there rae cheaper ways of doing things. Bone head is the starbucks of the helmet world.

eUrNiCc 0 #91 April 14, 2005 ^I cured the rocking in my stroboframe by putting down two little strips of metallic tape on the bottom surface of the plate that mounts to the camera. A fraction of a mm is all that you need to cut out the wobble.Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazydiver 0 #92 April 14, 2005 THe play is actually IN the mechanism itself. THe plate doesn't rock back and forth in the bracket, the motion is in the closing mechanism. Cheers, Travis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
