Here is my latest helmet camera setup. Most of you guys have full face helmets so trying to copy...

A sudden gust of wind blew a six-bladed, remote-controlled helicopter over a white bus half buried in bricks and busted slabs of concrete. Jimmy Tran, a Ryerson University doctoral candidate, scrambled at the multi-levered controls as the device shot toward the horizon. “I had to land it as fast as possible,” he says. “ I didn’t want to hit power lines or cars.”
Despite his efforts, the hexarotor, now a mess of shattered blades and smashed chip boards, sits among the piles of electronics at Ryerson’s Network-Centric Applied Research Team’s (N-CART) lab. “That’s 5,000 bucks, another 1,000 for the parts to repair, plus man hours,” says Alex Ferworn, who oversees N-CART. But it could have been much worse—if not for one piece of hardware cradled under the helicopter. Ferworn’s group uses robots and computers to help search and rescue, bomb disposal and crime scene investigation teams. The day the chopper crashed they were testing a new technique to map rubble using a 3-D scanner that generates images to help rescuers.
Fantastic, Excellent and exciting footage from the high definition (HD) GoPro helmet cam . We look to start reviewing helmet cams in the next few weeks. It seems nearly impossible to choose the best helmet cams due to such strong competition in the market. Our passion in extreme sports like motocross, snowboarding and base jumping has lead us onto an exciting piece of work which is to start review helmet cams. The big leaders in helmet cams at the moment are: GoPro HD Hero, Contour HD, Drift and a few others. The lower end of the market — we find cameras like Eagle Eye’s HD119 (which looks very similar to the HD170 by drift innovation). We will find the best helmet cam in the world. The top contenders are GoPro, Dift, Sony and Contour. The website will be carrying out individual reviews on each product and will then create a matrix that will compare all cameras on the categories that really matter. Website: www.midorbit.
