I tried somthing new this time!



Jetmotos :: Helmet Cam video by thxesx - Photobucket

And

Jetmotos :: Helmet Cam 2 video by thxesx - Photobucket

Next time I will aim up a bit and tilt it, other then that it worked great and did not come loose at all!

 

pretty cool.... looks like a fun ride, nice views of the hills too. [ being a flat-lander, i'm easily impressed] haha

i have made a couple vids with a regular sony cybershot camera mounted on my helmet. just a regular 75$ still picture digital camera but abviously used in video mode. i have a few vids but there all done with the same 75$ camera [ even the winter vids] . abviously not professional quality but it's fun to see yourself. YouTube - cr500

if you click others by me.. you'll see some vids from the winter. the battery seemed to hold up fine and for how much i have into it... it's hard to beat. imo

 

I'll check those out from my home computer...the one at my shop isnt all that quick and videos become a sort of moving still picture..

 

Very nice outofline!! We like it when your following another quad (or 2).. Grandson got bored when it was just you racing along alone...

 

Now that I know who my target audience is I will start shooting my videos with him in mind! I'm just glad to have a fan!

 

Oh ya what’s his name, Next time I will personalize it for him!

 

His name is Aden (2yrs old) if he walks past the computer and Im there...he points at the screen and says vroooom vrooooom ba pah...(little dude melts my heart)

and you got more than 1 fan outofline...just look at the "views" count...

 

Nice to see you on the trail this season. Looks similar to the place I saw in past videos. Now I feel charged up to get video of our outings. Will try before season ends.

I'm thinking about making a bracket to mount on the quad rather than on the helmet. Anyone else try different mounting positions or advice?

 

I think my atv's would vibrate too much to directly mount the camcorder to it. And my camcorder has a good anti shake processing also. I am yet to see a camera/camcorder attached to the atv in a video so I'm guessing others have discovered the same! Other then looking a bit funny I could not even tell the camcorder was there while riding!

 

Guess I'll just have to give it a try and see how it goes. I know my camcorder does not have a very wide angle lens so the video might have a bit of tunnel vision look. Personally, I like having a wide angle since it covers more area and gives the feel of more speed and the ground close in is more visible adding to the "I'm there" factor.
