Helmet Cameras

With a cycle helmet camera you can record your sessions on your bike, collecting footage which can easily be posted online and shared with friends and family. Whether you use a mountain bike helmet camera to film some sweet jumps or to improve your technique, there are a number of options to help you capture everything that your eyes might miss.

One of the leading brands in this market is Contour, which produces a range of sporting cameras designed for mounting on helmets and other pieces of equipment for everything from cycling to skydiving.

When picking your helmet camera there are several things to consider. The first is the quality of the image which will be recorded, as you can now find helmet cams that can shoot footage in full HD 1080p resolutions. This will require quite a decent amount of storage space, which is why many cameras are compatible with SD memory cards. You will sometimes need to buy a memory card separately or invest in additional storage to make room for all of your footage.

Another important factor when choosing a helmet cam is the durability of the device itself. When you are out and about in all weathers these gadgets are bound to take some punishment, so you will want to make sure that you are getting a camera which is waterproof, resistant to dust and dirt as well as built to withstand a bit of rough treatment. Thankfully most specialist helmet cameras are more than ready to meet these requirements.
