Cam Helmet

Gone are the days of holding the camcorder father of the family in one hand, two ski poles on the other and trying not to fall during the capture of the aspiring magic moments. Helmet cameras are here and provide the ability to film a family vacation resort hands free while you only focus on having a great time!

When looking for a helmet camera for skiing and snowboarding some features increased priority over others. First you need something that will give decent video quality and not over-exposure in bright conditions – you do not want to spend hours shooting and then not be able to identify people or places to play with your footage.

Of course, small is beautiful here and the smaller the better. Nobody wants lug kit too and that the slopes and what may seem rather light in hand can actually be quite heavy when mounted on the head. That said, placing the camera helmet to helmet or goggles are the obvious choices, but some large images can also be achieved by mounting it on ski poles or the front of a track ski or snowboard.

Remote control of the camera is really useful: only a simple record and stop button saves a lot of fiddling camera main hull all day. Moreover, some remote controls have a feature label "special that allows a great brand digital footage. Because the very nature of skiing, are likely to have a lot of footage on the lifts so this tag feature actually reduces editing time again at the cottage or house. A quick advice – Make sure the remote control buttons are large enough to press with ski gloves or mittens if possible. Some remote work in the radio frequency (instead of IR) as do not require line of sight to operate, which can also be an advantage.

A wide-angle lens also offers major advantages to the previous narrow-angle camera that is difficult to gain perspective on the speed because the lens only saw the slope in front of you. With a wide field of vision not only see what is before you, but also the landscape around you. This really puts speed in perspective and with a beautiful panorama of the material will be much more watchable.

Finally, if you are not likely to stand all day, make sure it is waterproof!

Whether the hull of the camera you choose, it is better to buy lithium batteries – they last longer than conventional batteries weigh less and are built to perform in extreme temperatures. Regular batteries can freeze at the top of a mountain.
