First does anyone have a helmet cam here? just wondering if they are as good as they claim to be.

second where can i get a new liner for my helmet? ive worn out the current one and would rather not buy a new helmet if i can avoid it.

thanks

My uncle has a head cam setup but its southern engineered basically what we fixed up was a cheap camcorder mounted onto a old helmet. To know what the camera saw we first made reference points on a face shield and created a box so whatever you saw in the box is what the camera caught. The next go around we had a eyepiece that used a prism to shoot the image into your eye and it came with fastners to a eyeglasses you could wear under the helmet.

As ghetto as it might sound the video wasnt bad since it was mounted on your body it took out alot of vibration and since it was mounted high on top it had nice over view of everything.

The bad was weight it wasnt the most comfortable thing to wear and you had to have the helmet strapped tight or it might move around on you.

We have I think like four video's of my family riding four wheelers at the Little Sahara dunes in OK. pretty cool stuff lots of fun doing it.


I do know that you can get RCA cable equipped pen cameras so you could keep the camcorder in a backpack and just velcro the pen cam on. I'm sure there not dirt cheap I remember seeing a nice setup forsale a long time ago for like $300 bucks in a fourwheeler magazine maybe if you look around you could find a better deal.

yeah i found a few setups that were around $250-300 but they all still require a camera. so i was just tryin to find out if the footage was decent before i spent that kinda money

Well I do remember from the magazine that the video was great the coolest part was that the pen cam was wide angle so it caught everything not just what was right infront of you.

The cam's that your finding are they just online or at local stores I'd see if someone local carried something close so you could check out the video first hand.

Oh and be sure that your camcorder can record from the RCA outlets some only have the RCA's so you can watch what you already recorded on a tv so that can be a problem.
