    I am considering one for karting, what are your recommendations for some good value for money?

    Thanks!

    I'm sorry I thought this was about a different kind of helmet. I am possibly thinking about buying a helmet cam for my fire fighting helmet. The full kit though is right about $170.

    I don't have a helmet cam, but I do have various cameras that I use on my RC planes.

    Have you though about making one yourself using a small digital camera? I bought a cheap Nikon L10 that is small enough to go on my planes - so something like that could easily be stuck onto a helmet.

    Wow, some cool ideas in this thread!

    Kerosene, I think that I saw some of your vids a while ago, very cool!

    FFTEX, I am looking forward to seeing some of yours too!

    alan, do something! :D

    Anyway, do you guys know about any vids/tutorials to look into making my own? It could be interesting, assuming that there are no safety restrictions...

    Actually, that's exactly the type of cam I was looking for, after some research.

    To be more precise, I was looking for a decently priced mbxcc pocket cam 3, but I can't find it, at least for now.

    Thanks!

    Anybody knows where to get these inexpensively? :)

    Yeah, can't find it. The only place is the spy stuff website, but it's out of stock and $120.

    Let me know if someone comes across one, thanks!

    Yeah, it's good and might work for me, but I want to see if I can find this other one first.

    Thank you so much for your time! Greenies on their way!
