Keeping your image still!!!

I had a revelation today!!!!!

I was trying on some of our gear and checking it for comfort and fit etc. and I noticed that there is generally a lot of scalp movement whilst wearing a helmet. Maybe just on my head

With out a helmet on you can put your hand on your head close to your forehead and move your scalp quite considerably ie. up to 1 inch of movement from front to back.

So after putting my helmet on and mucking around for a bit in front of the mirror, I noticed that if I raised my eyebrows this scalp movement was considerably reduced. I tried this again without the helmet, using my hand and my raised eye browes did reduce this scalp movement.

So put it to the test as I'm keen to hear your comments on this.

It may be the case that most jumpers tend to have WIDE EYES whilst in freefall and that those guys freefall footage might be the most steady.

Thoughts Anyone???

funny thing is im sitting here with my hand on my head raising and lowering my eye brows.....never thought about it, but worth a try. I dont have much movement in my videos anyway, but every little bit helps.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

I guess it depends on the helmet. I know my FTP will not move at all when wracheted down tightly. I guess it's due to how the "bone" grips tightly onto the base of your skull.

Agree my FTP is ROCK STEADY.....a little tight above 10 grand but it stays still.

Ditto on my FF2......when the chincup is ratched down.....the only movement is through actual head movements...

My FTN does NOT move. I wait until almost door before I latch the buckle as it is plenty tight with simply the racthet.

I don't think my helmet moves that much.

But what I do know, is that I have way to much work to do today - and right now I'm sitting with the hands on my head and doing stupid things with mye eye brows....grmf

Anyway, yeah I was doing the hand on my head raising my eyebrows thing as well, when reading the thread.

Did you know there is a very few percentage of people who can actually lick there elbows? I think only 2 %

Yeh cooookie, think your right. maybe its that movement that makes most skydivers bald at the front top of their head before our whuffo mates.

Also check out the movement in helmet position when you stick a shutter release in your mouth (noticeable on helmets with with a ratcheting chin cup).
