Unutsch 0 #1 October 4, 2006 Hi there. Is anyone using this particular Quick Release system? If so, which camera are you using it with and are you having any problems with it? Thank you very much! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=5563&is=REG&addedTroughType=search Check out the site of the Fallen Angels FreeflY Organisation: http://www.padliangeli.org Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #4 October 4, 2006 no, wouldn't be my fault.. You should have your bubbles checked by your rigger or by the manufacturer back to the subject.. do you wand to mount a stills camera or a video ? In any case, try to protect the quick release to avoid it being a potential snagpoint.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #5 October 4, 2006 Yes. I use one to connect my Nikon D70S to a bonehead Bat Rak... ( i run a trv27 next to it ) It is a Solid and well designed quick connect... BUT it is pretty heavy !!!! the two pieces weigh quite a bit, but that's the trade off for a really substantial chunk of hardware. There is good adjustability side to side , i.e. the mount does not have to be centered on the helmet or the camera body. This leaves some flexibility as to where and how you mount the camera... the "release arm" is strong and positive....When opened, you simply have to align and push the camera into place, whereby the base, grabs it, and automatically trips the release arm,,,,, to lock the two pieces together Just be sure to mount it in a way that limits the likelihood of that release arm, coming in contact with risers or suspension lines ( snag points).. all in all I like the beefiness of the set up... It seems like it would only be compatible with top mount cameras though,,, jmy ....

When I didn't have a camera condom on the HC3, and I could unplug and plug in my Cam-Eye quickly it was really nice to be able to unhook the camera after I got down and use it as a regular hand cam to shoot landings.
