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?

A 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.
