If you have a S/M helmet then you will have to deal with some looseness or have it modified. Some of the covers you have to watch out for if your doing it on a bump helmet as some covers have no cutout for the mount and is designed to bolt the shroud over the cover. Ops core, first spear, Agilite, and few others I believe make covers for the maritime. TYR also makes some nice looking covers for a pretty good price at $70 I think but its a little bit of a wait since they are made to order. The Crye airframe cover also fits the fast helmets but might need some modding and you have to deal with the opening on the back for the airframe helmet vent. You can also get a normal fast cover that is not maritime and mod it or do like some people do and just loosen the ARC tails and shove the cover edge under the rail and tighten them back down. |

UR Tactical. Overseas (chinese) company that makes helmet covers for M/L and L/XL size opscore helmets. I've got a handful of them in different colors for different environments. They're about 24 dollars a pop. They do take a while to come in since they are coming in from out of the country but it's less than a month wait for them.

UR Tactical is great but they only make them for the high cut ballistic helmets so if you have a non ballistic helmet in s/m you are hosed. If you chop on your helmet to make it super high cut your also hosed... without modding them anyways.
Helmet project finished for now, love the higher cut and makes getting a good cheek contact with a rifle with little interference to Comms

It’s right at 3.4lbs as pictured and with my on and off neck problems it’s the way to go with it being the weight of a ballistic helmet alone. I don’t get shot at really so no need for ballistic even though id like to add one someday. |

I got a new helmet this week so I had to add some personal touches to make it feel like it's mine. I love everything about it so far, especially the 4D deluxe pads. Couldn't be happier. Also, threw in a potato pic using my phone through my tubes. it doesn't do it justice in the slightest bit. |

Working on getting my helmet set up and stole an idea from one of the members (sorry, can't remember who). Made this little plate out of steel to house a Scout M300V when it comes in. For now it has my streetlight ProTac 1. Normally I would have used calipers and designed this on a computer first buuuuuut...I broke my calipers last week and my printer is out of ink so I winged it. Just need to add the finishing touches which will be a little black paint and Multicam fabric to the front face. It's solid as a rock. Scout Light screws are 8-32 and the plate screws are 1/4x20 with square nuts.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fivefivesixphoto: I don't think there is a way to change it to the QD adapters. You would need a new set. But I think a similar plate could be made to fit right were the T nuts are on the T nut adapters. That was my original plan until I realized I accidentally ordered the QD adapters. I think it would sell, maybe more so if TW hadn't shot themselves in their own foot. Easy/cheap to produce with plenty of room for a markup and still be "affordable" in NV hobby terms. Easy to store, easy to ship. Startup wouldn't be much. Hope nobody rips off your idea. I'll accept 1 free adapter from your first production run as fee for my brilliance/genius/foresight/extremely good looks .

Ok, @Rlltd42, Firefighter503 and 4DoorEkk, I sat down this morning and came up with a solid design and have already sent it out for quotes. I made it so the angle of the light will be pretty damn adjustable. I'm thinking I will have them cerakoted black and FDE.
