| | | This has had me thinking for a while now about a modular mounting system for attatchment to a helmet. Say you've designed 2 sets of rails. One set bolts on lightly around one side/edge of the helmet, and allows for your pieces to proprietarily connect in to safe and securely.l Even a mounting strip that starts in the front at the bottom and runs up and over the apex of the helmet and down to the back, perhaps with a rail system around the top of the lower rim. VERY SIMPLE... not complex. Very lightweight, but EASY TO USE. Something that allows you to use whatever existing pieces of lighting equipment you have, to simply attatch & detatch to and from your existing adventure helment. Say you want so much light in front, but the option of so much throw down in front of that, ass well as prefering to have flood that's pointed in certain spots while you're always moving. This would allow for all of that to be set up and clamped/and-or-secured in such a manner that you don't have to worry about it.
Then, say a week later you're mission is slightly different and it'd be better to have a big more throw light, mounted from both sides, and just a little bit of flood up front. After switching the pieces around and making sure they're all connected tightly....BAM!~ all set.
Whatcha think? Sort of a helmet mounting platform and adapters to allow the multiplicity of what all is available with a helmet mounted system which can quickly and easily change position as your needs change for what you need it to do.
Its a rough "plan" I'm working on... I'd like to hear input about it. Any takers? Any Ideas? Comments (both good and bad)?? (flames?) (advice?) Anyone else in being able to use something like this as well?
Let me know. And I'll see what I can come up with.

| | | Posted by metawaffle An illustration of the demise of my radio trigger: http://lh4.ggpht.c...dhj1Q/s800/bob.jpg I was actually lighting up that very shot from above when I dropped the trigger (and a light, actually, but that thankfully stayed out of the water), and it bobbed around for a moment before disappearing into the drain. Sadly, the water in front is very deep, so short of a swim, I wasn't getting anywhere near it. Actually, I've lost another once since then - probably time to order a new one.
| Meta, that's basically what happened to my 3 flashlights. Except, I was rappelling down the side at the time, because I'm extreme and stuff ;) Sorry to hear about your gear though.
