I don't know if this subject has been kicked around before, but what products has anyone seen in the headcam area?

Any good ones or bad ones?

I use one of these:

http://
www.rfconcepts.co.uk/helmet_cameras.htm


The quality is superb.

This is a hard wire system. So you need the camera in a Otter Box or
smilar water proof box, with a water proof gland for the wires to go
through.

There are othere wireless systems. I think one is made by Samsung and
recordes to mpeg4 on a small hard drive. There is alos a similar one for
skate boarders by tony hawks and one made by Oregon Scientific...

go here for loads of choice:

Hey Action, where are those videos you were going to put up.

Enjoyed the photos. Next time we get a NE like that one at Botany that day maybe we can get you to wear the headcam and we can track where your day come unstuck. I've got my money on the 'Bluey' factor. (For you poms, thats an Aussie colloquial term for a red headed chap, in this case, a big red headed chap who is good with the ladies and an absolute lunatic on the drink. Can clear a dance floor like noone I've ever seen.)

.......and also plays pool using an unusual part of his anatomy as a pool cue.

I've found a company in the US who seems to have it sorted, waterproof box and all. We'll give it a go and post the results.....in September. For you Northern Hemisphere types it's c c cold here at the moment.

We'll get Flano to wear it and he'll spend less time in the protest room!!!!
