Default first helmet cam vid

I have wanted a helmet camera for a while now and last week I eventually buckled and paid quite a lot for this one. V.I.O. -- The Leader in Wearable Video Technology, Digital Helmet Cameras and Cam Accessories

Great features, quality footage, robust (shock, dust and water-proof) and not a hindrance to the job or my performance!

Any way, I?m not sure about it now. The end result is all quite bewildering and difficult to watch IMO!

But perhaps with practice, a wider lens, taller tree etc, I?m not sure.

Re: the actual job. Nothing special, just a 25 year old euc in a back garden.

Any credibility that this video might have had is ruined by this particular crew?s refusal to wear their helmets. Also, the grounds-man underestimates/under-wrap?s the very last branch/top which then proceeds to spiral out of control and smash up the clients cherished Japanese maple, which he?d done so well to protect up until that point.

Worth a look but there?s just something frustrating about it.
