People listen to me: that’s what time it is! Time to shred some fresh pow pow pow!
Here is a short footage from last sunday as 70 cm of freshy fell in my garden. We took the opportunity to try out the GoPro HERO Helmet cam that we got from PH from Action Cameras (thanks BrO!)
This helmet cam is really a cool deal: it’s easy to use, it’s light, it’s not too expensive and it has a wide angle that makes incredible images! The wide angle really makes a big difference compared to other helmet cams that you fix on your goggle strap for example, and are never really sure what you are filming.
The HERO works with a standard 2GB SD card that you insert in the device. The camera is trapped in a small box that keeps it protected from humidity, so there is no risk to damage it even if you fall in a meter of pow.
There are many ways to wear the camera but the simple headband – as pictured above – works great, at least for powder runs, you’ll probably need to tighten it hard for park shredding but I’ m positive it will go as well (update: here is a video from Mathieu Crepel riding booters with it. no problemo.). All in all I think this helmet cam is a great deal for filming all your action sports adventures. Because if it works for snowboarding, it will also work for downhill bike, wakeboarding, freebording and so on.
