moreton 0 #1 March 1, 2008 I would like to get some ideas on what people think is the best camera helmet configuration for video and photos. At the moment I have a FF2 with a PC120 in and a rebex xt (350D) top mounted. As I sense the PC120 is near the end of its life I am looking to get a sony HDR-CX6. This will mean I need to change my helmet and I was wondering whether people prefer a video camera on the side and photos camera on the top (eg: FF3) or video camera on the top and the photos camera on the front just above the jumpers eyes (eg: Kryten freefly helmet form 2k composites). I have mostly been filming tandems with a 0.6 wide angle lens, but if I decide to go into freeflying with a wider lens how wide can I go without getting the photo camera in the shot? I like my FF2 for the snag free video box, but mounting the video on the top and the camera on the front will allow me to change the video camera at a later date without having to change the helmet again. Any suggestion would be gratefully appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #2 March 1, 2008 The cx6/7 is too wide to sidemount as are most if not all current cameras. Most professional cameraflyers have a flattop-pro or flattop-narrow type camera helmet, there's a reason for that I love my flapttop-narrow type helmet, one photo camera upside down on front, one videocamera up top. A flattop pro will give you room for 2 videocameras or flash and stuff which can come in handy but I don't like flying such a big helmet for wingsuiting so i love mine. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
