jtval 0 #26 January 17, 2007 you can always put your own cutaway on it. just like like any other helmet.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGOLOW 0 #27 February 8, 2007 I just received my helmet yesterday. I didn't have much time to play around with it but the helmet fits great and the chin cup is very comfortable. The build quality also appears to be excellent. The box for the HC3 is definitely not built as well as a cookie box but it also was less than 1/3 of the price. My initial impressions lead me to believe that at $426.00 (320 euros) including delivery for the custom color helmet with cutaway and custom color HC3 box this was a great value. They even provided a helmet bag for free. I should be mounting cameras in the next few weeks. I will provide an update with pictures when it's done.

IGOLOW 0 #29 February 9, 2007 I'm not sure on the size of the optik. They have updated their site and it shows the dimensions. http://tonfly.editarea.com/DIABLO_500965.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ollo 0 #30 February 20, 2007 I just received my Fuego Pro from Tonfly a few days ago. I can fully confirm the statement IGOLOW gave above. Looks very well and seems to be made of good quality. The only thing is that it just doesn’t fit my head (which is certainly a matter of the shape of my head, not of the helmet). People from Tonfly tried to help me about that and that honors them. But there’s is no way to get this thing working for me. The Problem is that Tonfly don’t take it back and gives no refund. So maybe better try before you buy.

za_skydiver 0 #31 February 20, 2007 I know you can/should bake a bonehead helmet (not the actual helmet, just the inner). Can you do the same for the TonFly helmet? Edit to add: for a better fit...Some dream of flying, i live the dream... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymoo 0 #32 February 21, 2007 Yup, you most certainly can - from earlier in this forum: QuoteDear Joseph You can put the helmet in the oven, it's enough at the temperature of 50 degrees centigrade for shaping it to your head.

Giordy 0 #34 February 22, 2007 I'm a tonfly's buyer from 2001 and I never had any problem. I always consider Tonfly as the best company for skydiving things. So when I read your post I've called Tonfly about your problem, and he answer me that they sent to you an e-mail for refund of your money. If you haven't received that e-mail write to tonfly@tonfly.com and ask a new send. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MotherGoose 0 #37 October 24, 2008 **double bump** Whats the word on topmounting vid and front mounting stills on the Diablo ?You think you understand the situation, but what you don't understand, is that the situation just changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #38 October 24, 2008 you easily have the clearance to mount stills (assuming an XT-size cam) on the forehead. Heck, with the Diablo..you could mount video on side, video on top, stills on front, and flash (or other device) on the right side (I wouldn't, but you could). It doesn't have a lot of top surface area, but it has a lot of flat area. Best of all, IMO, it weighs almost nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotherGoose 0 #39 October 24, 2008 I was thinking HC5 on top and XTI on the forehead. Do you think this will work?You think you understand the situation, but what you don't understand, is that the situation just changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMK 3 #40 October 25, 2008 I’ve got the TonFly CC1 and am very pleased. I think they’re the best made helmets on the market (cost aside). I’ve used it with both side and top mount cameras.

DSE 5 #42 October 25, 2008 Quote Looks very similar to my 2K Composites helmet. No disrespect meant to 2K Composites, but hold the two helmets side by side (I have). The Tonfly is lighter, yet feels more....'substantial' might not quite be the right word. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPetrie 0 #43 October 27, 2008 Who here has experience (wearing them) with these helmets compared to Rawas. Which is more comftorable. Best BK Note to the Moderator: If Lepka responds, please kick him off this site forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReyNier 0 #45 October 28, 2008 This is HC5 on top of CC1 and a D5 on front. HC5 with Royal .5 no problem. Royal .3 possible with stills set up lower down but takes some vision. With Diabolo this set up should be no problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotherGoose 0 #46 October 28, 2008 Nice setup, is that a one piece mount ? Is it custom ?You think you understand the situation, but what you don't understand, is that the situation just changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReyNier 0 #47 October 28, 2008 2 pieces, top mount plate + front mount bracket. A ZkullsTM attaches the top mount plate to the helmet. The L bracket of the stills attaches with Zkulls to the top mount plate. Complete system removes by removing top plate. From the shelve ( http://www.rcb-lab.com/zkulls46.htm ) an older version but similar to the actual one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
