The Helmet Camera Story…1987 to 2010
23 years ago an individual called Mark Schulze decided to put together the world’s first “Helmet Camera” to make an action video. His subject was Mountain Biking.
As the chip camera had just come out, he obtained one and proceeded to attach it to a motorcycle helmet. What he did then was to run a cable to both the camera and the VCR which he placed in the biker’s backpack. The biker, of course, found this whole apparatus both unwieldy and heavy! However, modern sophisticated helmet cameras might not exist were it not for this pioneering experiment. I don’t know how much everything weighed but compare this with the Contour HD 1080P which weighs just 4.3 ounces!
Lots more mountain bike videos followed plus BMX videos as well and hot on the heels of these followed action films by Skiers, Skydivers and Surfers. Coaches in Professional Football also tried to fix Helmet Cameras on their players’ headgear for training purposes. As the digital age gathered pace, so helmet cameras got ever smaller. So much so that they are very often referred to as ‘bullet’ or ‘lipstick’ cameras. Additionally, they can be mounted on to just about any body part, even feet, enabling the enthusiast to obtain those coveted and out-of-the-ordinary shots that you see on TV. An example of how diminutive these cameras are can be seen by looking at the Contour HD Helmet Camera.
The Armed Forces of a lot of countries have taken to using Helmet Cams in situations from combat to surveillance. Air Forces in many countries put them on to Fighter Pilots’ helmets. These recordings have proved to be of great value in various ways, from improving techniques to performance.
Fire Fighting Services the world over fix these Cameras on to Fire Fighters’ helmets to record action inside buildings. The best Helmet Cameras are water resistant, dirt and dust resistant and shockproof. It is worth noting that just 1 gulp of thick smoke can disorientate a person with the result that he or she simply won’t get to the outside. The videos that are made by the Fire Services are used not just to train their own men but also to educate the wider public.
Construction Staff now use Helmet Cameras to video work as it progresses, helping problems to be diagnosed and shots of both good work and poor work can be used for later training.
All over the world, Police Forces now use Helmet Cameras. Helmet Cams have been crucial in helping the police to successfully prosecute violent criminals, record anti-social behaviour, control crowds and violence in the streets. Only the other day there was a program on TV showing police wearing Helmet Cameras during a raid on a suspected drug pusher’s house. Before police started to use Helmet Cameras they were very often in danger of the occupants in these sort of places filming them on cell-phones and the footage later selectively used to compromise them. With the Helmet Cameras, the police can negate any such use and also use their recordings for training.
Everything that I have written above should, I hope, be useful to you if you are thinking about investing in your first Helmet Camera with which to re-live your action experiences. Quite simply, if the Military, the Police and the Fire Service have invested millions of dollars in this technology, then there’s a considerable probability that you, too, will benefit, in a more pleasurable way, when investing your hard-gained dollars in one.

About the Author
My name is Bruce Barker and I am still teaching Fitness at the age of 69. My interest in Helmet Cameras was stirred by a couple of my clients who use them when mountain biking and climbing.
Having seen what great fun they had with these cameras, I did some research and decided to try one myself! This, too, was on a mountain bike, believe it or not!
