Can anyone recommend a good head or body video camera the one I used last year would tilt slightly either up or down and you couldn`t be sure if you were getting all the footage, I need one with a good wide angle lens.
Has anyone tried out the Black Eye Camera that fits in the center of your helmet or forehead and follows your eyeline? I think the problem with this camera is you need a seperate recorder in you back pack.

I have the pov.1 and have just returned from a week in sainte fly. The people with me gave up using their standard dv camera as the pov.1 was far better as you could ski with it on and didn't have to hold it. I used velcro to attatch it to the top of my helmet and the footage was amazing. I will try to upload some on YouTube later so you can see for yourself.

Hi Boardbiker the camera we used last year was the Oregon ATC-3000 it runs on its own chargeable battery and holds a memory card great idea but you dont know where the damn thing is pointing most of the time.

Is this the infamous Dale Pipe Roberts? I hear you drink more beer than Tony H and that you ski faster than Grizzly Rick Langford,......backwards. With regards to the helmet cam i cant see you needing one in the bar ;-)
