A Conversation for Helmet Mount Video Cameras for Extreme Sports
GoPro Hero
Hoovooloo Started conversation Nov 1, 2011
When I wrote this, there was a wide diversity of available cameras and no clear market leader.
Since then, a clear leader has emerged - the GoPro Hero. It's not cheap, but it's not ridiculously expensive, the battery life is OK, it's simple to operate, it has a very wide angle lens and now shoots HD, and it comes with a massive range of mounting options so you can easily stick it to your helmet/handlebars/surfboard/mast/leg/forks/wheelarch/etc., and it arrives in a waterproof case.
If I were to update this entry now, the Hero would be the first one I'd recommend checking out - in 2011 it is by far the one you see most often on the hill/beach/track.
