My new cavern helmet..

[tbone1004]

I would, but where the vent holes are on the helmet they go a bit crosseyed, so by using bungee to clip the ends together it spreads them out to where they point straight. The helmet has a retainer slot for headlamps, which prevents the bungee from sliding up or coming out. I'll try to remember to put them both on and strap them together for a picture tonight to show that. Ultimately I'll probably end up drilling holes to put them exactly where I want them or put a clip on there so they pop in and out, but didn't want to permanently modify if I didn't have to, especially since I wasn't 100% sure how I wanted it set up

I have not even gotten to the lights yet, but I am sure that I will take the one I currently have on one of those little neoprene glove thingies and mount it on the helmet.

I had bungeed my lights in at the beginning, but soon found that to be limiting. I went with Dive Rites QRM system, mounting four of the spring loaded cradles on the helmet and I also have their soft mount on each hand.

Now, I can pop one off and put on the hand mount, or pop my primary off and attach it to the helmet when I need to use both hands.

 

[Doby45]

I really like that Dive Rite QRM system and I think I will be making that an addition to my helmet.

 

[The Chairman]

I have the movable link forward. That way, if you graze a rock with the light, it won't simply pop out. I have all my cradles oriented that way, so it's consistent.

 

[Doby45]

That makes perfect sense.. Thanks!

 

[tbone1004]

if I could justify the cost, it would be nice. $60/light is a bit painful

 

[The Chairman]

It ain't cheap, but I collect them one at a time.

 

[Doby45]

I agree it is a bit steep and I am sure @NetDoc got a bit of a "discount". But to me this would literally be one of those buy once cry once type things. They look pretty much indestructible to me and could be unbolted and placed on something else if the helmet bites the dust..

 

[The Chairman]

I didn't get any discount on them that I'm aware of.
