innovative helmet cam setups?
- Thread starter coma13
- Start date
I saw one that was infront of the rider facing back. it was cool seing the head stay totally still and everything moving around. I dont remember where the link went.
that was in earthed 3. i think that was one of the neatest shots ever. makes ridding look soo much more graceful
nor do i....
Drift 3 .....
Dave, Joe and I were working on some stuff with backwards mounted helmet cam following the rider behind. We mounted to the side of the helmet, which was a mistake, you capture way too much backpack! Mount on top of the helmet 
Collective or Roam does the camera backwards, Matt Hunter is the rider.
Oh you want everything.
Sorry I have no youtube ability, some one else will have to help there.
A buddy of mine got some really cool shots by doing the 1st run with the camera looking forwards (following the riders) and then the next run with it looking backwards (riders folowing).
There were some great edits where he would drop off something and as he landed (and the camera shook a little) he switched to the back looking shot of the rider behind him taking off and landing.
It was pretty cool.

Yup backwards camera is awesome!
Super 8 has Sam Hill, Bryn Atkinson and Nathan Rennie riding with a suspended camera in front of them. They're wearing harnesses/backpacks with what appears to be an 8 foot long pole sticking up/forward. The camera is mounted facing the rider, so in the shot the rider is pretty much still, you can see directly into their eyes the whole time, and the scenery around the rider is flying by super fast. Sam eats it super hard at Ft. Bill with it on, gets up, and continues pinning it. Super cool footage. There are some pics of them with the set up around here somewhere.
We've had great luck with cheapo DV-Cams duct taped onto moto helmets.

Tis Drift 3 with the cool helmet cam set up. Photo of it in Rennie's interview.

www.selfreliantfilm.com I don't think there is anything helmet cam wise, but lots of DIY camera tools.
It's from a fixie page, but you'll get the idea.

yeah, we tried some stuff up in sb and mounting the camera directly on top of the helmet would be the best . with the back rider staying right on the camermans tail, you get a cool shot. otherwise you loose the rider when you go around quick corners and turns.
..and you get a smoother shot.
^^^^ haha i ripped that, put the music to it and then loaded it up. prety cool shot i must say.
heres a pic of that set up...

That's such a cool angle. What was the music on Brynn's vid?
the music is by the go! team. at least i think it is. im not sure what the name of the song is
^^^^ yup. I will put it on youtube
Awesome, thanks! I wanted to show a friend of mine but I don't have the video.
BITD:
Is it a wireless camera? With flash card? I'm looking into getting one, anything you can recomend? I was thinking about getting the ATC2000 from Oregon Scientific.
How about mounting it on a crankarm? Either facing inwards or outwards, I have no idea. Could be cool or could be a mess
Here's my current helmet cam. And a few videos http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173574

I love my Viosport AdCam3 with a 60GB HD camera and from the looks of it, Viosport is coming out with a new setup in a few months bringing the camera together with a digital recorder all in one package. The diagram in BIKE mag made it look like a helmet cam attached to a 2GB iPod-sized device. Could be cool if they can keep the price down and quality up. vio-pov.com but there's no info yet.
