Helmet Cam

Apocalypsse · 13th August 2011, 11:01 PM

Been thinking about buying a helmet camera for a while now, theres been a few jobs where I would have loved to have one. Theres a lot of decent looking cameras out there but how do you mount it to the helmet? Also, what are the better brands out atm?

Was looking at that one last night, also this other one which had a cable running off the camera to a small box. How would you go about mounting that to a Petzl Vent helmet?

If there's a will there's a way, John Dee uses one and so does Eric. This unit (Contour)has no cables to get caught up while your climbing and what I have seen of the footage does a great job and it comes with mounting hardware.

I have heard pretty good things about the GoPro as well...
Havent used one but friends have mounted them to 4x4's inside and outside the car and the footae looks good.
Just another option. They have a bike handle bar mount, would be funny to mount it to the top handle of the saw to see all the action from the saw.
