novacaine 0 #1 March 17, 2010 I operate a security consulting business, that I started a year ago. A former client of mine, from a previous employer, called me up on Tuesday and threw me a challenge. My client asked if I would be interested in a bid to add a few CCTV Cameras (Supply Only) to a couple of aircraft for a commercial they are working on. The two problems are, the deadline is on Friday. The second problem is the mount is much larger than cameras the client wants to use. A large specification was the mounts could not be altered in any form or fashion, because they are approved by the FAA. Since the 'U' bracket is wider, wide almost 6", I am thinking of creating a custom carbon fiber housing, similar to the camcorder boxes. Due to my many jumps, I am unfamiliar with most of the helmet companies. I don't know which companies offer custom work, let alone whip up a quote in a matter of days. However, I'm sure some of you here might be able to point me in right direction Thanks ever one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PharmerPhil 0 #4 March 17, 2010 If it is just for one commercial, why build a box at all? Just bolt the cameras to the mount. They should do fine. A year ago or so we bolted a big Panasonic HD camera (HX-200?) to the strut of an Otter for "just one load." Got real busy all of a sudden and the plane ended up turning for about 6-8 loads before we could take the camera off. It did fine. I routinely put 500 or more jumps on any given camera on my helmet without a box, and never had a camera problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
