We get to talk to many of these guys during Star Wars Weekend in Orlando. Those suits are designed specifically with movement in mind. They have to be able to move around freely and do some things we would never do (like dance.) I will also say this, be careful with the "critiques." The mouse has ears, big ears.

I split mine into two 9V batteries, one for each fan. While they blow nice and strong for a little while, they quickly drain the battery (only get a few hours out of a battery). This means I'm sucking through 9Vs like they are going out of style. I wouldn't recommend. I'm actually looking at going to some form of rechargeable battery, such as from a remote car or plane.

They have many types of throat mics on that website, is there one that is more recommended then another? I'm thinking of getting one with a neck strap just to make it stays on the neck better. Obviously the gaming ones wont work for us, as they look to have USB connectors. I had purchased a cell phone one previously (from a different company) that didn't work, so I'm steering clear from that group. That then leaves the "vibration microphones" which to me looks like they are just mics and dont have the ear pieces, and the "two way radio mics."

Great, thanks for the info. I've been thinking of trying to use one since haven't found a head-held mic that seems to work out well and I can easily fit in my helmet.

Do you have any issues from wearing the neck seal over it?

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using a throat mic (like what they use in the military) with the iCOMM system? If you have, how did it work?

I actually really like that. Kinda makes me think of what stormtrooper armor may have looked like in the future.

Thank you for the ruling.

This is indeed a disturbing thing. If anyone manages to get a copy of the video, I think it should be passed around as a learning tool. Be careful at troops and use handlers.

Is there anyone in a position that can make a ruling one way or another?

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Was there ever a final official word on this? From what I understand by reading the CRL, 7 tracks are ok but 6 is prefered. That is the way I interrpret the CRL. The only thing keeping me from EIB is my blaster, and frankly if I have to hassel around with cutting my blaster up to get it down to 6 tracks, I'm not going to bother with EIB.

Awesome pics Ken. Wish I could have been there.

Please update me to stormtrooper status, thanks. http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=13255&costumeID=124

I am a bit late, but congrats.
