Nayoki universal camera mount for skydiving helmets

The support is available in four curvatures. These correspondences are based on radius gauge measurements taken on Cookie G3, Cookie G4, and Tonfly TFX helmets. They relate to the geometry of the base, not the presence of a release system.

• 4 bases: flat, S, M and L
• 2 mounting methods: adhesive or screwed
• Adhesive: 3M VHB 4991 tape, 2.3 mm, pre-applied
• Screw fixing: 2 M4 × 12 mm pan head screws in A2 stainless steel (designed for a 3 mm cap), integrated metal threaded inserts and 3M VHB interface
• Modular architecture: base according to the headset, interface according to the camera
• Compact geometry designed to limit snagging areas
• Professional 3D printing, in PETG or PETG-Carbon
• Made to order and quality controlled before shipment
• Supplied with the fixing elements required for the ordered variant.

✔ Compatible with many helmets thanks to the four basic geometries

✔ Simplified choice with a correspondence table and a free PDF template

✔ Adhesive fixing for installation without drilling on a compatible surface

✔ Screw fixing with metal inserts and stainless steel screws for helmets that allow this mounting

✔ Modular architecture to change the camera without replacing the base

✔ Made in France with verification before shipment

✔ Finished product No STL file to print

• PETG: a good compromise between mechanical strength, slight flexibility and resistance to temperature variations
• PETG-Carbon: Increased rigidity and a matte black finish, for a premium technical finish

Choose only a configuration that is compatible with your headset and authorized by its manufacturer.

Adhesive fixing:

1. Check the curvature using the table or template.
2. Choose a location that does not obstruct either the opening or the helmet release system.
3. Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol and allow it to dry completely.
4. Position the support, then apply firm and even pressure, ideally with a roller, from the center outwards.
5. Glue between 15 and 35 °C and wait. 72 hours before the first jump.

Screw fixing:

1. Check that your helmet allows this type of mechanical mounting.
2. Measure the thickness of your skullcap. The screws provided (M4 × 12 mm) are designed for a cap of 3 mm, according to the rule: shell thickness + 9 mm. If your helmet shell has a different thickness, adjust the screw length accordingly. 10mm screws are available upon request: specify this in the order notes.
3. Position the support with its 3M VHB interface.
4. Tighten gradually, without exceeding 0.3 N·m, without deforming the cap.
5. Check that the screws are properly engaged and that there is no protrusion on the inside.

After installation: Mount the camera interface, check each fixing and test the operation of the helmet release device with the assembly installed.

Always perform a complete check of the setup in a controlled environment before any use in jumping.

The development is based on internal mechanical resistance tests.

A base PETG-Carbon glued to the helmet maintained a tensile load of 350 N for more than 60 seconds without detachment, then gave way beyond 480 N.

The force was applied at the height of an Insta360 X6, the tallest of the compatible cameras, and therefore the one offering the greatest lever arm: this is the most unfavorable configuration. With a more compact camera, the permissible force is greater.

These results describe the assemblies actually tested. Resistance varies depending on the helmet, its surface condition, the material, the direction of the force, and the installation conditions.

Internal testing does not constitute approval or a guarantee of identical performance across all configurations.

This version does not have an integrated release system. It is intended for helmets equipped with a suitable and operational release system.

In France, the technical directive DT 52 of the FFP For this type of mounting, a helmet equipped with a release system is required. Check the applicable rules in your country and the instructions of your center.

The presence of a helmet in the compatibility table does not guarantee that it has the required release system. Each configuration must be checked individually.

The geometry of the support was studied to reduce areas likely to retain a suspension cable, without eliminating all the risks of snagging related to an on-board camera.

Before each use:

• Check the overall condition of the mount and the camera.
• Check the fixings and screws.
• Examine areas that may present a risk of snagging.
• Make sure the release mechanism works with the installed assembly.

The assembly and use of the stand remain your responsibility.
