It's probable that many people reading this article are helmet cam enthusiasts already. Indeed, it is thought that there may well be over 100 million outdoor sports lovers and extreme challenge enthusiasts in the world today. Notwithstanding, the GPS Helmet Camera is a recent development so a little enlightenment could well be useful.
The Contour Helmet Camera founder, Marc Barros, recently described a GPS helmet camera as "combining a flip video camera, a YouTube user-generated video site and Google Maps together into a single, easy-to-use product". He went on to say "we call this new form of storytelling 'Video Mapping'. The inclusion of GPs brings a whole new level of context to any video, making location, speed, time and conditions as important as what you recorded".
I have reviewed 2 GPS helmet cameras thus far and these are the Oregon Scientific ATC9K 1080P HD GPS Ready video camera and the Contour GPS HD Ready video camera, and they are both studied in more detail on my review site. Prices of these 2 GPS cameras are in the 0 to 0 range. In Oregon's case, that does include the GPS plug-in, due to the fact that the ATC9K is only 'GPS-ready' and the necessary GPS module is an extra.
The question that all of you action men and women are asking now is "what are the benefits to me of a GPS helmet cam"? Well...here goes:
Very useful for enthusiasts and adventure planners alike for drawing up trails and challenges plus the evaluation of them as well.
If you go up in the mountains Skiing, Snowboarding, Mountain-Biking etc., you could log every spill, jump, fall and wipe-out and home in on the exact place where it happened.
With a GPS camera you male and female sports enthusiasts can now issue challenges such as "who can record the most altitude in a given time" or "who can make the best run" or "who is fastest between 2 agreed points".
Suppose that you are a coach or professional in a given sports activity;you can easily see the benefit of a GPS facility when it comes to recording distance and acceleration.
The GPS facility on these helmet cams does not make them too heavy...they still weigh just a few ounces. Most of their respective features are the same or similar but there are a few differences in capability and design in the following areas:
Waterproofing
Build materials
Number of recording modes
Remote control facility
Mounting aids, both provided and optional
You will, of course, weigh up the respective features and benefits and ultimately decide for yourself which camera is best for you. However, further details on both GPS cameras can be seen at 'HiDefHelmetCams' to help clear your mind as to which is best for you.
On both of these GPS helmet cameras the sports action and GPS information is "in sync", using 'Google Maps' and when you play the video back the GPS information appears alongside in both cases.
