Headcam
I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Is their a decent wearable head camera to video your own flights when no one else is around?
Thanks

RE: Headcam
Bob,
I haven't seen one on the market, but this is what I use. I took one of my camera mounts and frankenstined it to one of my wife's chip clips. It works good for what I'm doing,and the camera only cost 20.00.

Hi Bob,
It's one of these:
http://chucklohr.com/808/#Instructions3
You can get them all over the place. The cheapest I've found is EBay.
Yes, it's a fixed focal length. It takes 640x480 30fpsvideo w/ sound. Mine has a 4GB memory stick, so it'll take about ah hour of video.
Here's a sample.

RE: Headcam
Now that's an interesting and informative link, Thanks.
I found one that should be here in a couple of days.
After I check it out, I'll let you know how it works.
I'm more interested in using it as a headcam and filming some close in 3D type stuff.
There aren't usually many people that are willing to stand around and hold a camera while we fly.
Have a good weekend.
