Ultimate Switch™ - FAQ's
If I change my camera model ?

If you change your skydive photo camera, you can preserve your previous investment.

Only you have to do is change your Ultimate Switch™ Plug & wire model.

For example: in the future, if you change your Digital Camera (Canon 450D to a Sony Alpha 850), all you have to do is buy a new Ultimate Switch™ plug and wire for your new camera and you are all set. See our plug models...

How to install the Ultimate Switch™

The Ultimate Switch™ skydive blow switch consists of 3 units (parts):

1 Camera plug with wire and terminals 
1 Ultra Light Pressure Switch
1 Black silicone tube/hose 60cm

With these individual parts, you have a very easy installation and a nice and discreet look on your skydive helmet setup.
The Ultimate Switch™ placement: you can use a double-coated foam tape that adheres and shapes to a wide variety of surfaces. (example: 3M Scotch® Mounting Tape).


The Ultimate Switch™ may remain installed inside the helmet at all times.

The plug & wire part can be installed anywhere. You don’t need to drill a big hole on your helmet like other
installation kits require. Hole size: a 6/7mm hole is enough to route the cable/terminals into the helmet.


The hose/tube is the easiest part to install :)
