Camera
The Vortex is the state-of-the-art, full-face, rear-entry platform style camera helmet. Designed for the professional freefall cinematographer requiring wide camera platforms set at a flat angle, to mount large video or movie cameras on the top and a 35mm still camera on the front, for "what you see, is what you get" hands free photography. The still camera mount rotates the 35mm camera from vertical to horizontal format, even while in freefall! Glasses and contact wearers love the the removable Lexan visor that provides additional protection and eliminates lost goggles. The visor also allows the placement of a dot on the visor as an alternative to a conventional ringsight, eliminating potentially hazardous ringsight entanglements.
