Cheap D.I.Y. Baseball Cap Headcam

A quick guide showing how to make a cheap D.I.Y. headcam from things you may have laying around.

after trying to film small things close up and use both hands I thought it would be best to make a headcam, Iused a baseballcap not only as its cheap and comfrotable.

I tested it on the bike but it's not safe for the user or the camera, This is ONLY for use when you not

cycling,
skateboarding,
snowboarding,
rollerblade/skating,
or anything where you need to look all around you or might hit or get hit by something or someone!

fitting and photos taken with with Nokia N79
test footage from Nokia N95.

Inormally do all my editing on the N95 but a kept getting the useless
"General, memory full close some applications and try again"
message so I tried the windows movie maker, and got the "not responding"
that sucked.

Thanks, sometime the simple ideas are the best.

Sure it ain't pretty but then the viewers see

the footage not the camera!

Here's a tip for extra stabability. Put some sort of soft/spongy material on the metal parts of your holder. This will not only protect the phone or camera from being scratched or damaged, but it will also provide a more stable view. It also wouldn't hurt to lift it up out of your face a bit. lol
