vid666 0 #4 November 18, 2005 Quoteye looked up bullet cam .... ya have to mount it into ya helmet coz of the size .. thought the goggle idea looked quite neat anyone actually used one ??? I have used one for about 50 BASE jumps. I have also mounted it on 2 skydives on my left glove. It works well, but sometimes the bulk of the fannypack is annoying. I recommend searching previous posts - there's alot of info out there already. Also, I wouldn't recommend it for mounting on the goggles - since A) it's fairly heavy as compared to the weight the goggle strap is meant to carry. B) it will move ALOT if you head is exposted to airflow.(unless you want to have a uncomfortably tight strap) C) you would have to have it WAaay out, unless you want half your head in the pic or you will have to use a fairly narrow lens. ...

FrenchyDiver 0 #5 November 18, 2005 If I am not mistaken, the original poster is asking about the goggle cam and not the bullet lipstick cam. There is an ad for it on Skydiving Magazine. It is a tiny camera lens that is attached to the inside of the goggles, on the frame. I found a pic of it on the web, but this one has the cam mounted on the ouside instead of the inside. Anyway, it gives you an idea. edited: cuz I forgot to attach the pic Hispas Brothers President HISPA #2, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vid666 0 #6 November 18, 2005 MY BAD. I belive there's some footage of a tool like that on Jimmy Hallidays RADIX DVD. It shows Shane McConkey using one while skiing of a cliff. On the DVD the footage looked good. I would imagine a tiny CCD on a cam like that=great during good light, but not so good in low light. but this is all a speculation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrenchyDiver 0 #7 November 18, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised if you are right about the resolution/quality. I too believe that it is a very interesting setup for personnal/fun footage. Probably not for commercial, as in selling it to tandems/students. I guess that in the future, as same with the bullet cams, we will see a great improvement of resolution/quality and thus it will be an excellent alternative for shooting tandems ect...

More light = better resolution, higher signal to noise ratio. Bigger lenses and biger CCD's = more lightillegible usually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeakMindedFool 0 #9 November 19, 2005 I don't know...the PC109 has a 1/5 inch CCD and gets good results. The problem with the remote lens cam thingies I've seen is that you still need to have a camera and the goggle cam seems...costy!Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves. -Eric Hoffer - Check out these Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
