medusa 0 #1 November 1, 2004 One of the best decisions I have ever made It was to buy a RAWA helmet, is simply the best helmet in the market and is cheap. my RAWA helmet came with the double camera mount , flat top for the still camera, two metal pieces to place the still camera on it (vertically and horizontally), internal plugs for bite switch, bite switch and camera cable, chincup and is incredible comfortable. For $353.23 dollars including S&H. I really believe that it is very good price if you take a bonehead let’s see: A bone head helmet: BONEHEAD OPTIK $298 A bone head camera single mount: BONE HEAD D-BOX SHELL FOR SONY DIGITAL CAMERA $170 A still camera bracket: GOLDMEMBER QUICK RELEASE $85 A bone head chincup: BONEHAD CHINCUP $65 A bite switch: BITE SWITCH $35 ______________________________________________________________________ TOTAL: $653 So bone head helmet + camera single mount + still camera bracket + chincup + bite switch + S&H for only $653 dollars. Points to consider: 1) You will only have a single video camera mount. 2) You have to do all the set up. Place the camera bracket, place the camera side mount, and drill holes for the bite switch. 3) the RAWA helmet is costume made with the size of your head * To check on the prices place on this quote feel free to go to: http://www.paragear.com/...late.asp%3fgroup%3d4 or http://www.paragear.com/...late.asp%3fgroup%3d4 * for more information about RAWA go to: http://www.rawa.com.br/portugues/ I chose to buy the RAWA and I have no complains. this is mucho caliente!Medusa Get Killed or Die Trying!

diablopilot 2 #6 November 1, 2004 Not really. But then I find the build quality of the Rawa to be less than I'm satisfied with, and the Rawa is limited to the camera you order it for. I have 3 video cameras and 2 still cameras as well as flashes, battery packs, ect. The Bonehead series oc camera helmets are flexible to suit my needs. Besides, I live in the US and want to suport a US company, as they have suported me in the past.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

bob.dino 1 #8 November 2, 2004 I prefer Fibre Zone helmets. Never heard a bad word said about them. But then, given the owner jumps at my DZ and his wife flies camera for my 4-way team, I'm more than a little biased . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And 2 ways, to place my 3 video cameras on my 3 helmets. all for $ 1.059.69 I think is a better deal.Medusa Get Killed or Die Trying!

I just support the products I like, and help my fellow’s skydivers to save some money. I know this is an expensive sport and every dollar you can save you will gladly spend it in a jumping thicket.Medusa Get Killed or Die Trying!

Jib 0 #19 November 2, 2004 Quote1 BONEHEAD OPTIK $298 Or you could look into the Illusion $335 with a hinged jaw (no chin cup), cutaway system and two fasteners. I've heard of two Rawa's coming off: Kim's landed by itself, Steve caught his.

They might be others helmets out there that might be better that RAWAS but: COOKIE COMPOSITES Mxv BlackBox Complete System $529.18 FIBREZONE COMPOSITES Hookr 'Hard Deck'(AUD with box included) $600.00 And still no: double camera mount bite switch still camera bracket (horizontal,vertical) Some people are saying that RAWA have some quality issues. So the difference between the other helmets and RAWA. worth to pay almost the double $600?Medusa Get Killed or Die Trying!

mr2mk1g 10 #21 November 3, 2004 Quote the difference between the other helmets and RAWA. worth to pay almost the double A lot of people say "yes"... Remember there are also many other major factors to be taken into account such as comfort, aesthetics, safety and proximity to the customer. Many people may perceive such advantages in other helmets over the RAWA and come up with an overall decision that is different to yours. Don't be downhearted by the fact that not everyone agrees that the RAWA is the best helmet on the market for them. It does not necessarily mean they're not stoked for you that you feel it is the best for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hottamaly 1 #22 November 3, 2004 Not that it makes much difference, but the "chin cup" comes with the Optik. Skydiving gave me a reason to live I'm not afraid of what I'll miss when I die...I'm afraid of what I'll miss as I live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medusa 0 #23 November 3, 2004 QuoteNot that it makes much difference, but the "chin cup" comes with the Optik. Still $588 that’s lot money! I have made 100 jumps with my helmet and it has never come off, maybe is because I haven’t made many jumps with it! But number of jumps with the helmet shouldn’t count as a fact, because the more jumps you made the better you are suppose to become. My guess is a helmet coming off is because of a bad body position or bad head position (is not fault of any helmet manufacture). I find my helmet to be comfortable, cool looking, with all the gadgets and the best of all cheap. It suit my necessities and I happy for all the gadgets that I was able to get with only $353 dollars.Medusa Get Killed or Die Trying!

dgskydive 0 #25 November 4, 2004 Since Rawa Helmets seemto be copies of most other manufatures helmets. I would say BoneHead and all the others they have stolen designs from are better.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
