Stills on a Sidewinder

[lilchief 1]

Has anyone mounted a still cam on a sidewinder 1? Does it work, or is the helmet to unstable for a topmount?

Tried to search, but posts reagarding sidewinder1's were form 2001 and not wit stills.. =(

thanks.

Ive used a sidewinder with video and (topmounted)stills, and it wasnt an issue.

But it does depend on a good snug fit. Otherwise you may end up with an unstable/wobbly helmet.

Just a thought about that.
A sidewinder has next to no snag points as it stands and does not have a cutaway system, by adding a still camera you are adding snag points for lines and there will still be no cutaway system on it (this could end in a very bad situation).
I started out with a Sidewinder 2, then after a while I wanted stills. I thought about modifing my sidewinder but choose to buy a different helmet with a cutaway system before adding a still camera.
