Helmet Cams For Extreme Sports

Published on April 18, 2008 by admin

If you are the adventurous type and you enjoy participating in extreme sports, you may want to think about taking the next step in your adventure-seeking and start recording your very own extreme sports videos.

Using a helmet camera or bullet cam, you can record every last exciting second of your daring adventures, and you can keep the videos to enjoy for years to come! Watching every moment of your adrenaline-pumping extreme sports can be almost as fun as doing them.

And, now you also have a way to share the fun with your friends and family.

What is a Helmet Cam?

helmet camA helmet camera, or “helmet cam,” is a small, lightweight camera that attaches securely to your helmet.

A bullet cam or lipstick cam is a lipstick sized camera which can be attached to your harness or other equipment.

These tiny cameras typically come with mini digital video recorders (DVRs) that act like a camcorder and record digital video footage.

So, a kit usually includes a DVR and either a helmet cam or bullet (lipstick) cam. These small cameras are perfect for recording your extreme sports videos because they don’t require you to hold on to them while filming your activities, keeping you safer.

Why Use a Helmet Cam?

If you’ve decided to try and make your very own extreme sports videos so that you can be the star of the action, then a helmet cam is definitely the best way to go. Because it attaches right to your helmet and then the mini digital video recorder can be slipped away into your pocket to continuously record the event - the operation of this setup is completely hands-free.

This is very important to promote safety and limit your distractions, especially if any part of your extreme sport is dangerous or risky. You don’t have to worry about holding on to anything extra.

The built-in microphone captures all of the sound. Everything that you hear or say will be recorded on to the video footage. This allows you to comment or narrate throughout your video, which can be a fun addition to watching the stunts.

Caring For Your Helmet Cam

Taking care of your helmet cam and mini digital video recorder is very easy. The solid-state design and construction make the equipment durable. During the stunts you’re trying, this is probably an important feature for you!

You may want to occasionally clean the lens of the camera with a very soft cloth. Many extreme sports involve getting very dirty, and having dirt on the camera lens can interfere with the recording and result in a lower-quality recording.

Make Your Own DVDs or Share On YouTube.com

Once you have set up the helmet cam and mini digital video recorder and you have completed your stunt and have recorded every amazing, exciting second, now you can use the video files to make your very own DVDs or upload to YouTube.com.

New Lightweight Personal Video Recorder for Mountain Biking

Published on April 16, 2008 by admin

Freeriding on a hardtail freeride bikeImage via WikipediaMountain biking is an exciting extreme sports adventure, and is a very popular sport these days.

Today’s mountain bikes are constructed of high-tech materials that allow the bikes to cover the most extreme and exciting terrain, areas previously considered far too dangerous for biking. This can make for some very extreme adventures, ones that are not for the faint-of-heart.

Any extreme sports enthusiast loves to brag about their conquests and exploits. And, of course, don’t forget about their wipeouts and accidents (sometimes these are even more fun to relive, after the bruises heal).

Wouldn’t it be great to capture these exciting adventures on film? Especially when your particular favorite extreme sport is more of a “solo sport” and most of your friends and family will miss the entire event? Nobody has to be left out any more.

New Helmet Cams and Personal Digital Video Recorders

The perfect gadget for any mountain bike enthusiast is the new helmet cam, or bullet cam, that comes with a lightweight personal digital video recorder. These gadgets are ideal for hands-free, safe and worry-free operation during mountain biking, or any other extreme sport, for that matter.

The helmet cam mounts safely and securely to your helmet, and the small, lightweight personal digital video recorder tucks away into a pocket. You can just hit the ‘start’ button when you are ready to begin, put the mini DVR into your pocket, and continuously record the entire event.

Using the hands-free device keeps your hands right where they belong, on the handlebars, and avoids any unnecessary or dangerous distractions. This is really the only way to accurately and safely record mountain biking adventures.

The high-tech solid-state design and construction means that the equipment is durable and can withstand the intensity involved in mountain biking adventures. No need to worry about damaging expensive and fragile devices.

Easy to Download to Your PC

Once you record your amazing, exciting video footage onto your mini personal DVR using your new helmet cam, or bullet cam, you will want to download the extreme sports videos. You can download them and be able to watch them on your PC—the video files are easily transferred from the SD card in the mini DVR to your computer’s hard drive.

Once you download them, you can store them to watch over and over, you can make DVDs to watch on your television, you can email the videos to friends and family, or you can even upload the videos to the best extreme sports websites to share them with the world! The equipment is simple to use, with clear instructions. Downloading takes only a few minutes, then you can do whatever you want with those videos.

Don’t waste another adventure by not being able to re-watch it yourself or share it with your family and friends. Get yourself a helmet camera with a personal digital video recorder today and start capturing every exciting minute of your extreme sports adventures on video!

Record Your Extreme Sport Moment

Published on April 2, 2008 by admin

Any extreme sports enthusiast knows what I mean when I say, “The Moment.”

We’re talking about that one stunt, that one event, that you relive in your mind over and over and over.

You try to tell your friends and family just how spectacular it really was, but nobody understands. Regular people just don’t “get” extreme sports and the rush that comes from doing them. Now, everything has changed with new technology that allows you to record every second of your extreme sports events, start to finish, safely!

Extreme Sports Are By Nature Dangerous

The whole point of extreme sports is the thrill, the excitement, the danger. But, most extreme sports enthusiasts are also pretty careful—nobody wants to really get hurt!

Endless practice, breaking down the stunts into tiny steps, and many, many trials make the preparation pretty extensive for the big show. You already have to worry about maintaining equipment and ensuring for the right conditions, isn’t that enough to worry about? These activities are already dangerous, and any attempts at trying to record them for posterity can make them much more so.

DVR and bullet camHelmet cameras and bullet cams have come a long way, and they are now small enough to attach right to your helmet and not interfere with your vision, secure enough to attach to your helmet safely, and accurate enough to record every second. The tiny recorder fits perfectly into a small pocket, needing no attention until you’re all done.

Record Your Activity With the New Hands-Free Digital Recorder

Record your dreams, and share your wild adventures with your friends and family (and don’t forget that you’ll have something really cool to show to your grandkids someday, as well!).

The newest micro-recorder fits right into your pocket—start it up right before you begin, and let the camera roll right up until you’ve had “The Moment.”

This tiny device allows for worry-free, hands-free recording, and you can easily download the digital recordings to watch them on your PC or television, upload them to the perfect extreme sports websites, or email them to all of your friends just to show off.

After all that practice, now you’re ready to launch yourself for the perfect maneuver while biking, snowboarding, skateboarding, hang-gliding, or any other extreme sport. Let the newest hands-free digital recorder and helmet cam take care of capturing the event so you can relive it again.

The Perfect Extreme Sports Recorder

The new helmet cam, or bullet cam, is perfect for any extreme sports adventurist.

Recording the event is very important, and your recording equipment should be no less carefully selected than the actual equipment you choose for your extreme sports event. A hands-free digital video recorder (DVR) can make a huge difference in the ease and safety of recording your event, as well as the quality of what you record.

Why not make sure that everything is perfect? You’ll be really glad that you did!
