Re: Kylo Ren Helmet V2 close to screen accurate Limit of 10 **Run full**
I have been waiting to hear back from the Rocketeer about the problems with my helmet before posting here but have received no response, so here goes. The main reason I purchased this helmet over the Anovos was because of the servo controlled snout piece. When I finally received the helmet, the first thing I did was to see how it worked. After putting in the batteries, I was hearing a hum coming from the servo, which usually means the servo is binding. I pushed the button and the snout did not open the way it should, pushed the button again to close it and did that two more times and on the fourth try the snout opened correctly. I tried it again and I heard a pop, the servo arm snapped where it connects to the servo gear. All I did was push the button, nothing else, the material is so thin where it connects to the servo gear, no wonder it broke.
After inspecting the rest of the helmet, I noticed hot glue visible by the visor and on the side.
Looking at the inside of the helmet, the servo controller is visible if the helmet is displayed above eye level and one of the power supply wires has already come loose. the small amount of padding is already coming loose as well. Also, there was no thought in how the battery pack was going to be attached, the way it is now, it just hangs down.
I can't believe I spent $690, plus $65 shipping for this poorly designed and sloppily constructed helmet. I had a bad feeling about this helmet with the delays and the lack of communication from the Rocketeer and I was right.
