I think I have Gone over the deep end

Rock out, backwards cap bra! Or be even more awesome, golf visor backwards and upside down.

Hard hat, with a rubber lined conduit strap. Of course, you may have to fight a construction worker for the hat. ....or a bike helmet. That would look spiffy.

An indiana jones type stetson, with the camera in the eave of the top of the hat.


Surgically implant a canvas top snap into you skull...sorry it is winter you know.

I love all the ideas.

Maybe one of those beer holder hats. I can have the camera mount on one side and a cold beverage on the other. I would be awesome then.

[mmanolis2001]

Now the question is... Is the camera angle so wide that the bill of the hat will become a permanent fixture in your shots?

That's the test. If it does then the Hat goes backwards and i stay cool.

That it, the beer holder hat gets my vote. The one with the flexible tubing for drinking. Oh, yeah! Now we've all lost it.

Hell it looks like a ram mount base. He could put a rod holder back there to troll.

Thanks kegs, there it is head cam. The ultimate kayaking video camera.





Things can get out of hand, from jockstrap to surgical implants. Just leave it to fisherman in the winter.

you can use a blue tooth ear phone and some super glue then you can be hands free with the phone and if the POV is remote controlled well there you go. keep the jock strap where its supposed to be.

what kind of POV camera is that? you like it?

Forget the implant, just zap screw the mount to your head.
Actually the hard hat idea might be OK but just the head liner from one. You can adjust the size to fit and it has a sweat band around your forehead.

Its a contour HD 1080P cam. Its got a nice wide angle lens and the image quality looks fine when i tested it indoors at 720P. It does not handle low lighting (basement test videos) well though but that should not be a problem out on the water. It has a rotating lens with two laser's for leveling and can be mounted at any angle. It is only water resistant and needs the watertight housing which is of course sold separately.

Even with the housing it is still a small lite package.


The sound is non existent while in the housing but it should being water tight. That's fine with me because i usually just cuss and talk to my self while fishing. Not very exciting stuff to hear.

They are coming out with a new version that has a built in GPS, separate LCD screen and a remote that you can wear on your wrist. I think my brother in law is picking one up to use on his motorcycle.

I think the video on my play sport looks better but its not a pov cam and i think i will use that for wider shots to mix in with the POV cam. I just need to find fish to take video of this year to justify the expense of two cameras.

You have to turn it on before you put it in the waterproof housing or is there a remote or something?

[mmanolis2001]

The housing has a sealed button to turn on the cam and a sealed slide switch to rec. Once the cam is in the housing there is no need to remove other than changing the mem chip or battery.

That's a pretty awesome little camera package. I'm looking forward to your videos!

I think if I had one I would have to change the way I fish... I mostly curse, hum random verses of songs I can't remember, or talk to myself. Might be the wrong kind of entertaining. Something about several hours of paddling in the heat with no fish can make one sound crazy...
