The idea is simple: A taut cable between trees and a camcorder moving along and recording incredible footage. This is not 'Helmetcam' anymore, but it's 'experience', isn't?
The H.EXP 7.0 was designed thinking to put every kind of cameras in, but obviously cameras with light weight and small size makes to wear the helmet more comfortable. Recently I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC FT1 (TS1 in USA) and I was looking for the best way to carry it on the helmet.
In my first experiences with wobbling of footage after stabilization process,I thought it was caused by cheap lenses distorting the images, but the main factor is the CMOS sensor inside many photo cameras, video cámeras and most of 'one-piece helmetcams' that you can buy.
It is the result of operation by 'rolling shutter', opposite to 'global shutter' usual in CCD sensors.
I'm ready for learning and sharing experiences about on-board video and mountaibiking. You are WELCOME to participate in the blog... and to help me about language, because I'm trying to practice english too.
To the LEFT you can watch some of my best helmetcam videos. You will not see jumps or incredible speed... I'm just a sundays rider, some aged.
Upcoming the blog will grow with old entries from spanish version "Jelmetcam Experience". While, you can found there more videos and some information.
