  • Cheers for the memories, what camera setup did you use?

  • Cheers!

    Bullet cam embedded into foam of crash helmet. Helmet cam and MIC need 12V. All cables have to be home made. 6 core cable goes from 4 pole/3.5mm jack (camcorder) to Video BNC (helmet cam) & Audio Phono (MIC). One conductor in AV cable for 12V to camera/MIC (via Phono plugs). XLR to 12v battery. It's not exactly lightweight, but tough. Wasn't trivial to solder together either. Angle of helmet cam critical!

    See my Coed y Brenin video for my other setup - wireless stem camera!

  • Some new ideas there, cheers. Been looking at mini DVR packages from RF Concepts but not completely decided at the moment.

  • If I was starting from scratch now, I'd probably go with RF Concepts - their stuff is nice, and you can get mini solid state storage camcorders now. I built my stuff over 6 years ago before you could buy anything. The only thing I bought 'off the shelf' is a LANC 'rec on/off' switch. Must get all my old footage on YouTube! - Good Luck!
