The advancement in the quality of mini-digital video cameras has caused sports fanatics to seek new methods to mount these cameras to various kinds of helmets and sports gear to catch the action and movement of their sporting events.
Part of the fun is determining how to get the camera near the action. Many use helmet mounted cameras because it gives the impression of watching the video from the perspective of the participant. The head stays still while the action takes place around the person, and the perspective is from first person, or the one who is actually doing the event.
On bikes, there are two most desired mounting possibilities. The first is forward-looking from the handle bars. Usually the video camera is placed on one side, or below the handle bars which gives a view underneath the normal field view which a rider would normally experience. The other mounting position is backward-facing, in the direction of the rider.
This shows the viewer the viewpoint of being straight in front of the bicycler and the quick motion of objects as they quickly vanish behind the rider. Many have tried to come up with method to have a video camera attached to a kayak. Usually you can find a mounting surface on the rear of the kayak that makes it possible for the affixing of fasteners without damaging the surface.
Following that, one can come up with a number of different mounting poles and gadgets. The recommended view is approximately two feet over the top of the kayak. This will allow the viewer to observe beyond the person in the kayak, and look to the river beyond.
The trick of the camera mount is to secure the camera in such a way that it does not vibrate with the motion of the boat. Some have tried to cushion the mount with rubber couplings, but the rigid mounts actually tend to vibrate less than the ones with the rubber connectors.
Skiers have tried out helmet mounts for their digital cameras, as well as goggle-mounts and chest straps. The least effective are the goggle-mounts, as the goggle band, itself, is commonly loose and can be the source of the vibrations.
The helmet mount provides a strong solution to fasten the digital camera to the skier, but sometimes the short head movements make the video jerky. The torso mounted camera is the best method to shoot skiing action. The chest tends to remain motionless as the skier's body moves down the hill, and the view of the arms in front of the skier gives just enough framing to help make the audience really sense that they are going down the hill.
Digital camera owners continue to experiment with ways of getting their mini-digital, high definition video cameras close to the sporting action. Part of the sporting fun is capturing the experience and sharing it after the event has taken place.
