So ever since I wanted a bike I have been a fan of 13mordeth‘s video’s on youtube. He basically vlogs while riding his motorcycle from anything as simple as the day or as complex as rider training. This inspired me to start this myself when I get my bike up and running. The way he does it is that he jams a digital camera into his noseguard and just presses record. Well I tried this, and there is no way my huge face is going to let anything in the helmet but me. The fact that I had to buy a 2x in order to even get my head in one at the store is just a little insight.
Well I went to bestbuy and noticed that they had alot of camera’s on sale and some are even in HD for cheap. The flip mino’s and the others all seemed good, but I wanted something tiny and something shotgun shaped because you see, I had other plans for this badboy.
I was almost about to leave without a camera and was going to be forced to buy a crappy “helmet cam” off of ebay that you basically had to plug into a video in of some old camera when I came across the Insignia HD sitting on a shelf in really cheap plastic. My first thoughts were; “shitty packaging means I can break it without feeling to bad!” Well it was still around 100 bucks.. but if I could get it all to work it would be great!.
I got it home and tried to jam it inside my helmet and it worked, but barely. What I needed was a DIY solution. I needed to mount this camera outside my helmet!
