What is the story on Helmet cams ??

What works ??? I would like an HD cam to mount to my paintball mask

Don't really want to spend a shit ton of money but I do want quality.

Most popular ones are
GoPro
Contour

Check out WebDogPaintball's YouTube channel. He has a great vid on what to expect and what worked for him.

Helmet Cam 101

Thread here discussing him

I want the Contour, but the water proof Go Pro might be a better choice since it might get hit. I could sell you my sunglass cam or the flashlight style gun mount if you're looking for entry level. $20. They are 720p which is the same as the low end Go Pro

naaa I was just thinking go high end right away. you know me I hate cheap stuff

Soo I bought one lol So next time we play paintball i'll have it on my helm

The Contour Roam

Wow, that seems like a pretty nice camera. You making a plexi shell for it or just attaching it straight on your helmet?

it's already on the helmet.... very sturdy and durable.... i'll take my chances with paint hits

So I was testing out my helmet cam while testing out the guns I got. Going to edit them and put them up maybe.

Quick video of the guns I got and the Contour Roam

The only thing I would change is to get the helmet out of the shot. Other than that, great looking video.

ya I still have to play with location on the mask

Can't seem to get the helmet beak out of the shot but I did change it to a smaller field of view that might help seeing farther away

Also volume now fixed

I will post another video maybe playing with my own gun so see how the hopper effects the video.

Looks pretty good. Maybe try jogging around the yard to see how it reacts to motion?

If the visor really bothers you, maybe try removing it and getting a smoke mirror? Would help solve the sun and field of view problem.

What program are you using to edit your clips?

just windows live movie maker

NIce!
