How to Build a Paramotor Comm Helmet - Tutorial 

And if you thought you might get these parts at Home Depot, let me tell you that that's a bust too. So head to the red hardware store if you don't want to waste time.

009to090 glad to hear it! Good luck!

Hey Water Trail. Which size stainless bolt and locknuts did u use. I’m building now. Finding the screw posts is a hell 😞. Really appreciate your help.

Thank you! You can certainly mention this video in yours. Looking forward to seeing your carbon fiber project! I cheated by wrapped mine in carbon fiber vinyl ;-) Not sure if you're going for function or just style, if you just want the look of carbon fiber, I highly recommend a vinyl wrap. I used this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9J4JRG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

TerraBiker, yes I have, but the tufftalk is $400 by itself and only offers 25DB sound attenuation and cannot be transferred between helmets like my SENA SMH10 can. I found this to be a more cost conscious and effective solution than the tufftalk, but if you're looking for a pre-built solution, it's about the only one on the market.

Harmless Toast, for most people, it is necessary, but it is entirely possible that some people may be able to use muffs without needing to modify the ear pockets. Definitely do a test fit first to see if there is enough room before making any cuts. Good luck!

That’s correct. You will not get COVID if you wear this helmet.

Brad Brown check the parts list in the comments. I used a large screw driver through the middle and under one side to pry them loose. They are in there pretty tight, but all of the 3M muffs I have seen come apart the same.

Not natively, but look into this product made for that application: www.sena.com/product/sr10/

If you buy the Send SR10 unit, you can pair anything to it.

Brendan Crawley, everyone can appreciate your concern for safety, and if it makes you uncomfortable, I would recommend you buy a factory made solution. I encourage you to research what tests a helmet must pass to receive an EN966 rating. Truthfully, the Giro helmet would probably exceed the EN966 requirements if it were tested in Europe where that standard applies and the company desired to market the helmet for such use. End of the day you are the one who has to wear it, so get something that you are comfortable with and has been tested to meet the requirements you require. Best of luck on your search for the right helmet. Blue skies!

Alejandro Ayora because the helmet itself only costs $30, not $200, and I don’t need a warranty because that only helps if there is a manufacturer defect in the first place. I looked into the PT-A Bravo option you are referring to and chose this instead because that helmet does not have a safety rating of any kind, whereas this one does. If you prefer that option then that’s what you should buy. Ultimately, if your primary concern is head protection, you should not be using anything other than a DOT rated helmet. Most people only wear a helmet when they fly, as a means to hold their ear protection and comms in place while having SOME protection against minor bumps and impacts. I recommend everyone decide what they want from their helmet and buy one that suits that need. This solution is not for everyone, but may be in alignment with what many are looking for.

These aren't built for protection. They're built to hold comms and earmuffs.

Yeah...Ok...i understand...that makes sense...You die, cause of not wearing a protection helmet...Com's (and noise reduction) is more important...heros are flying and cannot get hurth.

uhhh...no. If you fall out of the sky, a helmet isn't going to help you much. Try thinking logically and with some common sense.

@iamtheheav8r I am thinking logically, cause i am a licensed pilot (how about you?)...and i do not want to contend with you. But some people what this modification and do not think (like you) about the consequences. I agree, that if you fall out of the sky, it will not help you/anybody...but all depends on the hight and impact (in joule) on your head. And i know what i am talking abaout, cause i had a 70% collapse of my glider and was only 100M high (approx 300feet) and survived...and glad, that i had a helmet on, cause i was going down in a forest with little trees! I survived, cause i know what to do, when things like that happens (i am flying a C-category glider) Most accidents happens while take off and landing or at low levels 10-20m (approx 30-60ft) ...and thats the point, where helmet CAN help you a lot...at least minimize the risk of hard head injuries. and i saw lot of PPG Videos which pilots are doing low level flights..where your helmet is relevant in case of something unexpected happens! No really good and approved PPG/Paragliding school will tell you, that you can modify your helmet (in that case, you loose the certificate for it) ...or fly without helmet...cause it makes no sense. With your argumentation, we could all take out our Airbags from the car, cause in high speed, accidents the Airbag will not help you at all ;-) (right?) Thats why Skateboard, Snowboard/Ski, Bike-helmets have different test and certifcates...they gets testet, what they are intended for! What does your insurance say, when you used a modified helmet in case of a big accident...do they not check /proof your equipment? Not loosing insurance? Where i live, you will loose insurance...if they find out! (Sorry for wrong spelling/writing...i am not native english) So please, don't say, that this is harmless, if you drill holes in a helmet or use any stuff that tackle the hard shell

Then do you wear a neck brace while flying as well? I do not know of a single helmet wearer wearing one for protection. And a $30 helmet isn’t providing anything adequate for flight anyways. Taking a collapse and getting scratched up by trees is not the same as taking one and slamming the ground.

Wayne Everett, sorry the content wasn’t enjoyable. Hope you got something useful out of the video anyway.

@@justinboyce1067 The music is just fine. I didn't even notice it in the background...until you mentioned it. This is my third time through the video and all I 'hear' are the instructions on how to install the product.
