Hello All. Helmets are great from Tonfly. But the camera boxes SUCK Bought a box for PC330 and a box HC5 neither of the boxes fit. the PC 330 box works if you add a wooden base plate and than the camera sits tight but not perfect. HC5 box is totally useless its made for HC3. I talked to Giovani and he did not have much to say. Did not offer to refund the money basically he did not care.

Thanks for your feedback. PS I was/am Favoring the Canon.

Thanks for the comments. The easiest would be the Canon. But now to the Cameras ? Would Canon still be the best of the 3 ??

Hello Marty I know for a fact that Tonfly just got a major order for CC1 Helmets for a French Skydiving School that has them majorly back logged. I Ordered 3 camera boxes 4 weeks ago. I hope to get them next week. All their colors are on the webpage that they have. I am attaching a picture of my Fuego Pro in Royal Blue with x-shut camera attachment. Charley

Hi A friend of mine put his bite switch in a pacifier and has no problems with it. Its lasted him a while now.
-
Hi I also had that problem also mine resulted from floating not enough formation speed as the team got faster my legs settled down.
-
Here are some pictures of my camera mounted with the x-shut system. its pretty flush to the helmet.

X-shut is a good mounting system, zkulls is a copy modification of the x-shut system. Take a look. http://www.x-shut.com

I had the same feeling when I went through my AFF training that I did not get enough canopy control teaching. I was sticking my landing pretty good and things were working out fine but I had an obsticle that got in my way and i ended up bouncing. Spent 3 weeks in the Hospital and 2.5 months in rehab. But during this time I came up with an idea for our Dropzone / Country (SWITZERLAND). I organize a Student Jump Contest that is actually a Canopy Course. Its in its second year and it has been well received by all. Here is the link to the contest: www.nur-gezielt.ch

Hello I broke my Tibia and Hip on my 86 jump. Up to that point I had consistent stand up landing. But at this landing i flared uneven and turned myself into the ground. 6 weeks in a wheelchair because of my injuries i was not allowed to put any weight on leg or hip. 4 months rehab. I was able to walk again but favored my leg. Worked really hard not to favor it. did not even think about trying to jump again until i was able to run. Able to to do other sports like play Basketball etc. I started working again after 5 months that was also a rough time at the beginning I work as a Paramedic a lot of heavy lifting walking over uneven ground etc. When I was able to all that I started jumping jumping again. My Accident was 19 July 2006 and my first Jump was 3 March 2007. Talk to instructors or people that saw the landing. Take a beginner canopy course.
