Helmet Cam? | afterbang snowboard blog

I d quite like to try out a helmet cam next year in Fernie. I ve seen some footage around the web that looks pretty good, and then there s some of the examples from snowboarding films.

doesn t have video-in , however, which eliminates nearly all of the options on the market. As far as I can see, it certainly eliminates the chance of getting half-decent video quality.

At first I decided to just drop the idea, due to the camera s incompatibility. But since then I ve seen a couple of self-contained helmet cams that might be worth considering.

I ve found two options. has a decent summary, with the only suitable models being Oregon s ATC-2K and the Tony Hawk Wireless Helmet Camera.

Of course the quality on these devices isn t great, but you d expect that given the size and the price. The self-containment does have several advantages, the main one in my eyes being that I don t need to carry the larger, more delicate camera all of the time

I hate riding with my camera in my backpack. I don t mine riding with it while I m using it, and of course, if I m riding while one of my friends is using it then all the better A small helmet cam could be carried in a pocket, giving the option to get some video at any time, without having the backpack with you.

I ve pretty much ruled out the Tony Hawk camera as the resolution is too low at 320 240. It s only 640 480 when attached to a pc, what s the point in that!?

That leaves the ATC-2K. There s a of the camera on Helmet Cam Central , which includes some links to sample footage: one being the raw footage and the other a YouTube sample.
