FAQ

As experienced skydivers, we started with a simple observation: camera mounts available on the market over the years all have their issues. We listed every single one of them—and found a solution for each, based on the following key criteria:

– Material quality: One part made of carbon fiber for optimized aeronautical characteristics (tensile & compressive strength + superior rigidity), the other part made of unbreakable flexible elastomer.
– Mount strength: The mount was fully designed by two aeronautical engineers, each specializing in materials and structural optimization, to meet standards used in the aeronautics industry.
– Weight and dimensions: Ultra-light mount thanks to 3D printing technology.
– Drill-free mount installation: The mount adheres using ultra-strong 3M mechanical assembly technologies (world leader in the field) to keep the helmet compliant and avoid the risk of screws penetrating the skull in case of impact.
– Removable mount: The magnetic system allows you to detach and reattach the camera in a second, enabling filming in the airplane (tandem video / friend sleeping) or safely transporting the helmet after a day of jumps without damaging the equipment.
– Easy access to the camera SD card: No need to fully disassemble; the camera can remain on the helmet to change the SD card or battery thanks to the innovative design.
– Quick-release camera system: Enables mounting the support on helmets without a release system and prevents losing the helmet in case of video system snagging.
– Compliance with skydiving standards: According to Technical Directive No. 52.
– Adaptable to different cameras: One mount to rule them all!
– Tool-free camera angle adjustment: You can tighten the camera screw without risking breakage thanks to the flexible part’s compressive strength, allowing manual angle adjustments while maintaining a secure hold.
– Country of manufacture: 100% French production chain supporting the local industry.

It is essential to use a dedicated camera mount for skydiving helmets to ensure a secure and stable attachment of the camera during jumps. These mounts are specifically designed to withstand the extreme conditions encountered in skydiving, minimizing vibrations and ensuring high-quality footage. Moreover, they help protect your equipment by preventing the risk of losing the camera during aerial activity. By investing in a purpose-built mount, you ensure an optimal skydiving experience while capturing exceptional visual memories.

Proper installation of a camera mount on a skydiving helmet is essential for safe footage. Follow these steps for optimal attachment: start by consulting the installation instructions for specific guidance for your mount and camera model. Ensure the mount is securely attached to the helmet using the 3M adhesive. Perform regular checks to guarantee the stability of the setup and avoid any risk of losing the camera during the jump. By following these steps, you ensure your equipment is correctly installed to capture outstanding footage safely during your aerial adventures.

To ensure the optimal durability of a skydiving camera mount, follow these best practices. First, avoid excessive shocks by handling your equipment with care. Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage—especially after exposure to extreme weather conditions. Clean the mount after each use to remove any dirt or moisture buildup. By following these steps, you’ll prolong the life of your camera mount and ensure reliable performance on every skydive.

Optimizing footage with a camera mounted on a skydiving helmet requires a thoughtful approach. First, position the camera to capture the best possible field of view, avoiding any obstructions. Before your jump, test different angle settings to find the ideal position. Use accessories like an optical viewfinder to improve framing quality. Make sure the camera is properly powered on and configured before each jump to avoid last-minute adjustments. By following these tips, you’ll maximize your footage quality and capture memorable moments during your skydives.

When choosing between a fixed or adjustable mount for skydiving, several factors should be considered to meet your specific needs. Fixed mounts offer increased stability, reducing the risk of the camera angle shifting during the jump if the mount isn’t properly tightened. On the other hand, adjustable mounts provide flexibility to set the camera angle before the jump, allowing for a variety of perspectives. All our mounts are adjustable to better suit all types of jumps.

The suitability of camera mounts for skydiving helmets in specific disciplines like wingsuit or freefly depends on the particular mount model. Some mounts are designed to be versatile and withstand the forces generated by the speeds and flight angles of different aerial disciplines—this is the case with TurboSkyMount camera mounts. Before purchasing, it’s crucial to check the product specifications and manufacturer recommendations to ensure the mount can handle the specific demands of your discipline. Make sure the mount is rated to withstand the forces and speeds involved. By choosing a compatible mount, you ensure safe and optimal use to capture exceptional footage during these specialized aerial activities.

Minimizing vibrations in skydiving videos with a camera mount is crucial for smooth, high-quality recordings. To achieve this, follow these practical tips: make sure the mount is securely tightened and firmly attached to the helmet to prevent any unwanted movement. Experiment with different angle settings to find the position that best reduces vibrations. By taking these steps, you can optimize your camera’s stability, ensuring clear and professional-looking skydiving footage.

Water resistance and durability in harsh weather conditions are crucial features for camera mounts on skydiving helmets. Our mounts are designed to be water-resistant; however, the level of resistance may vary depending on the model and manufacturer. Before purchasing, be sure to check the product specifications to confirm it meets the water resistance standards required for extreme weather conditions. By choosing a sturdy, waterproof TurboSkyMount camera mount, you ensure your equipment’s durability in all situations, allowing you to capture memorable moments even in challenging weather.

Ensure an optimal fit by choosing a lightweight camera mount with an ergonomic design. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper installation to guarantee that the mount does not compromise the comfort or safety of your helmet during your skydiving jumps.

Maintain the durability of your camera mount by following practical care tips. Gently clean it after each use, especially after exposure to extreme conditions, to ensure long-lasting performance during your aerial adventures. Avoid using solvents, as they may damage the various mounting components.

Explore the potential regulations related to the use of camera mounts in skydiving. Make sure to stay informed about the specific safety standards within the skydiving industry (such as Technical Directive 52) to ensure your video capture equipment is used safely and in compliance with regulations.
