Poster: A snowHead
|
This is one for all you "Scrapheap Challenge" types ....
I'm trying to figure out a way of attaching my little SD Camcorder to myself so that I can film some ski action this winter, without having to hold it in my hand.
I've got a little Sanyo CA65 which is waterproof - so no problem with getting it wet/snowy. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any AV sockets, so a "bullet" cam attachments are out.
I had an idea of attaching it to my ski boot with a heavy duty velcro strap - but finding the materials to make something sturdy enough is proving tricky.
Then I thought of some sort of sucker attachments to stick it one of my skis ... but again, got stuck (forgive the pun).
I've managed to build a little bracket to attach my camcorder to my mountatin-bike - but coming-up with a something for skiing seems to be an altogether trickier proposition.
Anyone have any thoughts on the above - or any alternative ideas?

Does it have a tripod thread on it? Rig up something which uses that, then velcroed to the side of a helmet? I played around with a camcorder last season, and was quite impressed with the results. There's been a couple of threads on helmetcams, so a quick search will pull up some info.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

rob@rar, yes, it has tripod thread - in fact I made use of it when I came up with my little moutain bike handlebar mount. Although, without being able to use a bullet cam, getting it attached to a helmet is going to be tricky.
BernardC, I considered duck-tape - but I'm really looking for something a little ... erm .... neater

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

jonflat2, Have a look for helmet mounts designed for skydiving.

Gaffer tape it to your leg?
I do tend to find that most things can be fixed with Gaffer tape and cable ties although Gregory (my son) is now a little sceptical about some of my First Aid procedures
