helmet cam mounting

[testcricket01]

hi guys

 

im really getting into makeing tree videos really enjoy makeing them just wondered how people mount there camaras on there helmet? Also where they store there recorder while climbing?

 

me my self i have a Vio POV 1.5 and i can never get the mounting right at all. I find my pockets on my stihl trousers are to far down to put the recorder and i havent got enough cord left for good movement.

 

just bought a POV water tight see through bag aswell so im hopeing i can just hang it off my harness is this the way to go? im always loseing out on good footage cause battarys run out, im thinking if i have it hanging off my harness i can easily just check its still running.

 

cheers in advance guys

I don't have that type of camera but I would suggest using a tiny back pack, maybe the smallest camelback and taking the bladder out and usign the pack?

that would be alright but the only problem with that would be checking its still running im paranoid of that after loseing all good footage today.

 

this is what i have ordered im hoping this is the answer. Where the red dot is is a hole in the bag to hang it etc. Any of you guys use this?

I geuss in that case then you should ask Reg and see what he uses.

 

Can you extend the cable? Side pockets on chainsaw trousers would seem the ideal place.

you can buy extension cable for it. i have wondered what reg uses he seems to have it sussed it out pretty nicely.
