The kind of cold I'm talking about is is like -20 @ 13.5, but now I'm smarter then to jump in the real cold of winter, that is a young mans game. The worst thing about the cold I have seen is the batt. life is very low and it takes the camera a while to start to work. (slow) I can see what you mean about going from very hot and (vagas) Altitude cold, in the desert I did notice how hot my cameras would get if left in the sun for even a small amout of time. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

So kneel and duck at the same time. I'm not saying I haven't bashed a camera into the top of the door or roof before, but it only takes once or twice and you won't do that anymore. I didn't say it couldn't happen, just it is far less likely to happen if your not tumble'n. Most of the time any snags that hit your camera, can, one snap your neck, two remove your camera from helmet, or three remove your helmet for you, box or no box. So what are you using an underwater camera box? Those crappy little boxes are not going to stop the moisture or condensation from getting on or in your camera @ 120 unless you going to wrap it in plastic. And yes over the years I have gone thru some rain clouds (very wet), but the video kept rolling and only messed up later, once dried out it was fine, still working today. Yes and many of them are the best in the world. Where did I say that?, If you want to waste money on a box and carry the added weight around and fool yourelf into thinking it will stop the 3 problems you said were the main factors as to why you got a box, that is on you. In the mean time I'll keep using my, 15 year old 8MM or 10 year old 525 or my 4 year old pc 100, cameras that have been in lot's of heat, cold air, ice, moisture, condensation, in all types of climates accross the country, without any cover at all and they all have hundreds of skydives each and they all still work fine and have for years. I stand by my statement that d-boxes are way over rated and the guys making them are laughing all the way to the bank. The only reason I see to have one is the built in ones on some side mounts, (FF2 etc) you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

In over 10 years of jumping cameras, I have NEVER had a video camera fail, do to any of the 3 things you posted and all of my cameras have been exposed, no box, no condom, nothing but a "granny strap" for helping to hold it tight and a quick release. 1. Physical damage protection- don't drop your helmet & duck your head on climbout! If you can't do that you shouldn't be flying camera in the first place. 2. snag protection- Fly stable and pull stable! Again if can't do that you shouldn't be flying camera. If it's going get ripped off your head let it go, no box is going to stop that anyway. 3.insulation from the elements- cold don't hurt shit and why are you jumping your cameras in the rain & snow? If your jumping in those conditons you deserve to get your camera fried. Boxes are so over rated and a waste of money as well as unneeded extra weight. But don't spread that info around the people who build them love taking your guys money and are laughing all the way to the bank, IMHO. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo
