Hiya folks.

Just wondering if anybody has experience with the video cameras that
I've seen used to make films like THIS IS THE SEA and PACIFIC
HORIZONS. They are mounted so they don't fall off the boat, they are
the small bullet type cameras, but I have no clue how to get them
hooked up. Eventually I'd like to get this going.

Anybody have any links or ideas how this is done? Makes for great
films.

Cheers



THey are call head or helmet cameras

Thank you

I have a GoPro camera that's mounted on a flat plate that is part of the
camera's accessories. I just duck-tape it to the bow or stern deck plate
on my OC and directly to the deck on my C1. The only thing that I don't
like is the audio: Because the camera is inside a waterproof shell, the
audio has some extraneous noises and is distorted.
