Used for all the shots in my "Evolve Bambo Electric Longboard" album.
Made from 21.5mm PVC pipe (2 m long).
Fulcrum is nuts and bolts attached through a hole in the top o the helmet.
The counterweight is heavy duty nuts and bolts which can be easily adjusted for balance.
The camera attaches via a long 1/4" bolt with a plastic block to allow landscape or portrait mounting.
There is a 3m long USB to mini USB cable passing through the pipe.
The trigger is an emergency USB battery charger (on-off to trigger)
The mini USB input on the Canon Powershot S100 can be configured in CHDK (firmware hack on SD card) to allow remote firing via USB.
Probably Syria or Egypt, Mamluk period, ~1500.
This is a rare example of a conical helmet that still has the peak, nasal, cheek pieces, and neck guard.
My impersonation of a Russian Army helmet using a normal motorcycle helmet and some old Russian camo material!
This make-over gives me a helmet that would pass for the Russian army 'SKAT' ballistic helmet. Though I still would like to remove the studs - which you can plainly see under the cover - and find a more modern camo cover.
A SET OF CROMWELL FIRE BRIGADE HELMETS WITH ALL THE RANK MARKINGS PRODUCED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED FIREFIGHTERS(BARNSLEY) FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS CHARITY.
The myrmillo was a type of gladiator during the Roman Imperial age. The myrmillo-class gladiator was adopted in the early Imperial period to replace the earlier Gallus, named after the warriors of Gaul. As the Gauls inhabiting Italy had become well-integrated with the Romans by the time of the reign of Augustus, it became politically incorrect to portray them as enemy outsiders; the Gallus-class gladiator thus had to be retired.
The distinguishing feature of the myrmillo was the high crest of his helmet which, together with its broad rim, was shaped somewhat like a fish. The myrmillo took his name from this fish-shaped helmet; the word comes from the Greek word for a type of saltwater fish.
Otherwise, he wore a loincloth (subligaculum), belt (cintus), very thick wrappings on the lower part of his left leg (designed to protect the top of his feet from attack and from his own shield), a gaiter on his right leg, a linen arm guard (manica) to protect his right arm, and the curved rectangular shield (scutum) of the Roman legionary. He also carried the legionary's short, straight-blade sword, or gladius, from which gladiators derived their name.
Todi, Peschiera Necropolis, Tomb VI. Late 4th-Early 3rd cent. BC.
Bronze Montefortino-type helmet from Todi, Umbria. This is the back.
On the left is a bare crest mounted with epoxy putty, on the right I'm using bondo to make it flush with the rest of the helmet.
The Swan and Helmet, Clare Street/Grove Road, Northampton. 9th March 2014. Far from an ideal shot, but best I could muster due to parked cars, and the sun at this time of day. Might try another afternoon and pop in for a quick one afterwards!
Unidentified Prussian guard soldier
easily identifiable M15 helmet
from MVD
... Guardsman #ps3155 can only be from one of three regiments based upon the "Old Prussian" pointed Litzen on his collar and cuffs. Four Guard Infantry regiments displayed this pattern Litzen with a red stripe down the middle. The 80th also used Old Prussian Litzen, but without a central stripe. That eliminates them. This guy has stripes in his apparently white Litzen, which are too bright to be yellow, eliminating the 5th Foot Guards. The 5th Guard Grenadiers and the wartime 6th and 7th Guard Infantry Regiments displayed white old Prussian Litzen with the 5th GGR's shoulder strap piping in white, the 6th Guard Infantry in red and 7th in yellow. Since this soldier is wearing shortened collar Litzen, his tunic is a simplified Model 1907/10. "Since this soldier is wearing shortened collar Litzen, his tunic is a simplified Model 1907/10, although just barely. By definition, a uniform bearing one or more "simplified" feature such as shortened collar Litzen, lack of piping on the shoulder straps or plain cuffs technically makes the tunic a simplified Model 1907/10 uniform." The shoulder straps appear to be sewn-in simplified unpiped versions, making it difficult to distinguish between the three regiments. The 1915 helmet makes the two Guard regiments raised in 1915 a distinct possibility. Had the photo been from 1914 with a bright metal trimmed helmet, only the 5th Guard Grenadier regiment could be the answer. If the straps were true M1907/10 removable patterns, the piping could help settle this issue. The white and yellow piping would probably show up more clearly against the field-grey straps. That is not the case here. IF - and this is a big IF - the straps are true Model 1907/10 straps, then red (scarlet) is most likely the piping color, making this guy from the wartime 6th Guard Infantry Regiment. But the straps look to me to be sewn-in and without piping. Correct? If so, the simplified straps make positive identification between these three regiments impossible, especially since the photo was taken in Berlin. It could be any of these regiments!

Eldest son is a field hockey keeper, whose gear for hockey obviously includes lots of protective elements. and this is his helmet. It reminded me of the helmet of Japanese samourai and I decided to capture it in that spirit. Edited with PS Elements and Snapseed
3/4 view. Anyone know what kind of helmet this is? I know it's a shoei and it's a Troy Lee design, but what kind of helmet is this?
So, I am making my first helmet. It seemed to be a short step from crowns which I already make to a helmet. This one will be a "Relic of the Great Cicada Wars"
I noticed this on my helmet on the plane coming back from the last days of snowboarding this season...
wear your helmet, kids, especially if you're young and stupid! :)
Prototype helmet for the Eurofighter Typhoon. Cathode Ray Tubes inside this helmet project information onto the visor. This allows the pilot to view flight and weapons data without having to look at the instrument panel. Scottish, BAe Systems about 2005.
A helmet is a form of protective gear worn on the head to protect it from injuries, a variation of the hat. The oldest use of helmets was by Ancient Greek soldiers, who wore thick leather or bronze helmets to protect the head from sword blows and arrows. In the 2000s, soldiers still wear helmets, now often made from Kevlar rather than metal, to protect the head from bullets and shell fragments.
In civilian life, helmets are used for recreational activities and sports (e.g., car racing jockeys in horse racing, American football, ice hockey, cricket, and rock climbing); dangerous work activities (e.g., construction, mining, riot police); and transportation (e.g., Motorcycle helmets and bicycle helmets). Since the 1990s, most helmets are made from resin or plastic, which may be reinforced with fibers such as aramids.

I bought this nifty little helmet a while ago. It's a Arai Condor, a race helmet and is a replica from Mike Dohan's helmet.
Responsible for everything fire-related on the Gryphon Aeroship Interplanetary Expedition, the Firemaster stands ready for action.
Prussian Kommunalpolizei
This is considered a helmet for Prussian Kommunalpolizei model 1896.
The real key is not the very specialized spike but rather the spike base. This one has a cruciform base. The exact same helmet with a round spike base is for Prussian Beamte. While this one is police often the police helmets are confused with customs.
