Helmet Cam - What do you use?

[James[501st]]

Have a troop coming up in March and I'd love to have a helmet camera for my TK (DeadCon horror / sci-fi con).

 

What are you using?

 

I think I want;

 

- Audio

- Remote to start / stop video

- Remote to tag frames or take stills

- up to 4 hours recording

- water resitant (so I don't fry it if sweating)

- Lightweight / compact

- Ablity to add mic cable to get a mic on the outside of my suit

 

Not sure about placement. Was thinking it coulf be placed in the corner of one eye of the TK for the real "trooper view" or possibly in the teeth. Other?

i know there was a post on the legion boards about this.

I like the mounting from Trooper Tim's cam, not the cam itself though only due to the cord and the DVR unit it attaches to. I think it's the VIO or something like that.

This one seemes to be a good candidate, a little bulky though and I can't tell how much video it can record.

That looks and sounds really good, any idea what type of camera it is?
