The POV Camera - Details You Should be Aware of
The hunger of the human spirit to continually try out new experiences can never be fully quenched. Extreme sports are a testament to this. No matter the risk, the brave and the daring (and those who seek to conquer a lingering fear) try out wakeboarding, white water rafting, rock climbing, skiing, surfing and motorcycling. Some do it for the sheer adrenalin rush it gives, others just for the heck of it. Whatever the motivation, the whole experience is worth capturing, reliving and sharing.
While handheld cameras and other video footages taken by friends are the more traditional ways of taking hold of the action, they can be extremely limited. For one, holding a traditional videocam while trying to bungee jump or do a motorcycle stunt up in the air does not only make it a hassle, it can be extremely dangerous. And most of the time, you can't convince your brother, sister, mom, dad or best friend to skydive with you and be your official videographer up in the air. Even if they did agree, the video wouldn't come from your own experience.
This is where point of view cameras come in handy. These are cameras you attach on your helmet or torso to capture the action as you see it. For the adventure enthusiasts and those in who find extreme sports extremely within their range of normal activities, these cameras give the best perspective and the ultimate high as they review their experience in full high-definition on their personal computers.
With point of view cameras, there's no need to drag anyone along to your escapades. Most of these cameras, like any other Digital Camera, come equipped with a memory card that allow you to record videos and capture still photos. While they started out as bulky and unstable gadgets with connections that go easily loose, point of view cameras are now quite sturdy pieces of equipment that are also unobtrusive. This means that they do not hinder the wearer from performing his usual actions. Most of them are also waterproof and can capture action while you scuba dive or do water sports.
Point of view cameras also capture speed, distance, altitude as well as location for those concerned with statistics and details. The wide-angle format that some models give is also indispensable to giving a wider perspective. For those who use point of view cameras for training athletes and preparing for competitions, these features actually improve one's game. It provides valuable insight into the techniques used in actual practice and later review these for tips to better an athlete's movements and entry or exit points. Because these cameras also have built-in speakers, it records the comments heard and given during the entire practice session. For coaches, this is indispensable inasmuch as certain instructions given during workout games make players more or less motivated to go for the goal. With these helpful hints recorded and taken into consideration, coaches and trainers will be more equipped to handle players from the sidelines during actual competitions.
Our memories are fallible. We don't remember things as vividly or as concretely as we would like to. With point of view cameras, the tireless pursuits of the human spirit are captured in the eyes of the daredevil or the determined athlete for all the world to see.
Last but not least, you should definitely check out the GoPro HERO, highly recommended. Also, check out this GoPro helmet review.

Gopro Helmet hero question(s)?
Displayed in this image:- http://www.stuntcams.com/shop/gopro/gopro-hd-helmet-front-mount-1.jpg
It is mounted on the helmet upside down- Does the camera correct this when it's recording and flip it to normal footage? Or do you have to rotate the clip in editing?
also- how do you know when it's recording? xD you can tell I've just got it!
It's a digital point and shoot camera, which means you have to hold the shutter button down to record a video. Unless one of the things that hold the camera are pressing on that button, you will have to reach up and hold it to be sure. If I did this, I would use my Canon ZR, mounted on a bolt at its tripod hole, fastened to a helmet. When I press record on my canon ZR series, they record until I press that button again to shut them off

Review For The GoPro HD Hero Naked Camera
First-person or third-person point of views with video and camera shooting for a realistic look on extreme action sports is pretty hard and dangerous to do since going to where the athlete is and sticking to them like glue is prohibited. Here's where GoPro HD Hero Naked Camera comes prepared.
For extreme sports video and image capturing, the GoPro HD Hero Naked Camera is the base unit in a package of mounts. It's a very versatile camera since you can get a lot of mounts for it for different extreme sports. Touted as "the world's highest performance wearable 1080p HD video and still photo camera" by their company, you will want to show friends and family your action packed performance on screen since you cannot go wrong with this rugged camera.
Here's a quick spec rundown:
- Video Recording with WVGA and HD Modes (720p to 1080p)
- 5 mega pixel Camera with 3 photo burst and self-timer
- 170 degree field of vision
- Built-in Microphone, mono with AGC (automatic gain control)
- SD card slot can support up to 32GB.
- 1100 mAh Li-Ion battery can last up to 2.5 hours
- Dimensions 42mm x 60mm x 30mm
- Weight: 167g
- USB 2.0
- HDTV Out
- Combo 2.5mm jack with Stereo Audio and composite video out
The Waterproof Camera Housing made out of Polycarbonate and stainless steel that can also go underwater down to 180 feet makes up for the constructions of this sports camera. Being Shockproof, it is also Bombproof. Wow, there could be a sport or there will be a sport that is so dangerous that GoPro actually made a bombproof video and Still Camera for that "just in case" moment. The bad thing about this camera is that it doesn't have a native LCD for viewing replays of what you captured.
The GoPro HD Hero Naked Camera is affordable so it doesn't break your bank, impossibly rugged so it doesn't break, with a lot of mounts for cars, bikes, helmets, chests, surf and snowboards. It is the ideal video and still camera for the action sport enthusiast that want their actions to be captured digitally for their friends and family to see.
