| ACCESSORIES
FOR YOUR FLAT TOP PRO |
- Ringsight Swivel - This is the
component that attaches the
ringsight
post to the post on the helmet.
Extra Top Plate - If
you think you’ll want multiple set-ups that
can be quickly changed out, this is the option for you.
Extra Liner - For multiple users or
when the original wears out (500+
jumps)
Camera Strap - Neoprene lined strap
to hold down a camera when a
box is NOT used.
Shark Fin - A tall piece of carbon
fiber used for vertically mounting
a still camera or used with certain PC D-Boxes to make top mounting
easy.
Camera Boxes - Camera
models change so often, please call to
see if a D-Box is available for your particular model.
Palmcorder (TRV) Style cameras are best for top
mounting, though there is no problem with the PC
(upright) style cameras. These boxes protect the camera from lens
strikes and some of
the elements.
Quick Release - Stroboframe 300 QRC
- Not available from Square
One or Bonehead - get it at any discount camera store
Brent Finley Ringsight - for fine
tuning your work.
Video Light Indicator – Lets you
know when your recording. The CamEye
II actually controls your Sony camera through the LANC port.

| FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS |
| Do you
have different size shells or are they all the same size? |
| The shells are all the
same size. The liner system determines the
helmets size. |
I hear
you have to do some baking to custom fit the helmets.
Do I bake the whole helmet or just the liner? |
| You only bake the liner. |
| The
helmet doesn’t fit what should I do? |
| First add or
take out liner pieces until the fit is too tight.
Then proceed with the baking instructions. If you have
baked it and it still does not fit then call us
so we can assist you. |
| My
Helmet fits great and I haven’t baked it yet, do I need to? |
| You should. Even if the
helmet seems to fit great after baking it will fit
that much better. It will conform to your head. |
| The
right side of the helmet seems wider than the left, is it lopsided? |
| The right side of the
helmet was built out a small amount in order to
accommodate the hinge. You find that an extra piece of shim in the
right side makes for a better fit. |
| How
heavy is the Flat-Top Pro? |
| About 40 ounces with liner and
top plate. |
| How
large is the Top Plate? |
| The Standard Top Plate
(with ‘L’ bracket) Measures 9.5 inches long x 7
inches wide. The Extended Top Plate Measures 11.5 inches long x 7 inches
wide. Custom size plates are
available. |
| Is the
helmet easy to work on, what tools would I need? |
| Yes, the helmet is very
easy to work on. A Dremel motor tool with a tungsten
carbide bit works the best, however a regular drill works too, masking
tape and an allen wrench set. |
| What is
the angle of the top plate? |
| Approximately 0 Degrees |
