pilotdave 0 #26 June 3, 2008 I get your point that RRS clamps are nice and strong, but I'm with those guys that I don't see how it does anything other than prevent the plate from coming off the clamp. As far as the plate coming off the camera, that all depends on the screw that mounts the plate to the camera. If you had a 15 cent camera screw coming through your helmet and screwing into the bottom of the camera, it would hold just as well as that screw mounted to a fancy plate that clamps to a fancy mount. I've never seen a camera that was cantilevered off of a helmet by a long screw so all the bending loads would have to be transmitted straight through the screw.

LouDiamond 1 #27 June 3, 2008 QuoteThen your contention is still that one bracket can make a 1/4" screw stronger than another bracket? No, it is not and never has been.

LouDiamond 1 #28 June 3, 2008 QuoteI think I understand what you are saying... on idea that is simlar to what you are suggesting would to put a screw through the helmet and attach it directly to the camera with a plate of aircraft aluminum between the camera helmet and the camera Not exactly but close. The RAWA helmet I bought in 2003 with their camera package has a mount along the lines of what you just described . A write up on it can be seen here and pictures of the mount can be seen here"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
