lintern 1 #1 June 12, 2008 I have a Cookie MXV camera helmet with a side mount box (for a Sony PC105) and cut away chin strap. I have a cam eye 2 which I want to fit to the helmet, but there are no holes in the helmet to fit the cam eye switch. This means drilling a hole in a very, very expensive helmet So I want to make sure I get it right ! I have already had it mounted in two positions on the side mount camera box - first at the back of the box and then on the side. The thinking behind mounting it on the the camera box was that its cheaper to replace the box if I made a mistake when drilling or positioning the hole ! The problem was the switch often got knocked, either by riser strike (when it was mounted at the back of the box) or simply knocked (when mounted on the side of the camera box) because it protruded more. So I am now thinking of mounting it directly to the helmet itself, on the right hand side of the helmet (the side opposite to where the the box fitted). The audible alti pouch is also on this side so I'm concerned the switch might get in the way of my pro track. Where is the best place to mount the cam eye switch on these helmets ? Does anyone know where Cookie normally mount the cam eye switch ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #3 June 13, 2008 Just use Gaffers on the outside of the helmet. It's what I did with both my switches and never had any problem. Mounted to the helmet, not the camera dbox. Of course it isn't as pretty, but doesn't cause you to cut your new shiny helmet either. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
