Budget cant quite stretch? Not a problem, all of the head cams available for sale are also available for hire, from 1 day to 2 weeks (can be extended). So if it’s just for the day out mountain biking or a week away in the Alps skiing or snowboarding we can offer a package to suit you that wont hurt your pocket!

What are helmet cameras?

A helmet camera, otherwise known as a micro video camera, bullet camera, or lipstick camera, is a camera attached to a helmet allowing someone to make a visual record from their point of view (POV), while keeping their hands and vision free.

Brief history

San Diego Director of Photography, Mark Schulze, is believed to have invented the video helmet cam during the 1987 production of "The Great Mountain Biking Video," This video was "the world's first mountain biking video" and the first in a series of how-to mountain biking videos produced by Mark Schulze. He mounted the first available chip camera made by RCA, to a motorcycle helmet. The camera fed signal via cable to a VCR stuffed into a padded backpack. Upon removing the rig after a particular ride, the wearer would inevitably exclaim, "This thing's HEAVY!" This pioneering hardware eventually gave way to button and lipstick cameras.

Schulze also created additional POV mounts for the bike including under the seat post looking forward and under the bottom bracket to see the wheel and trail. The helmet cam soon became a standard piece of equipment, worn by BMX riders, surfers, skiers, skydivers and other sports aficionados, to record and share their experiences.

With the advent of digital cameras, and smaller camera production, came advancement in the helmet camera field. Helmet cameras shrank in size to that of a marker and began recording to digital recorders with video displays.

The newest generation of helmet cameras offer features like on-screen menus, high-definition format, wireless transmitting to an offsite recording device, waterproof enclosures and 3D capabilities.

 

Testimonials

 

Just want to let you know my new full HD camcorder is working great. Ideal for capturing all my angling action,  with a brilliant picture

Mr Hasson - 24/4/13


"Very good news, my HEDCAM just arrived.  Thank you for the speedy efficient service that you have supplied.  I will be up and running and making videos hopefully in the near future.  Once again thank you for the excellent delivery time and back up service, by that I mean your curt, and polite e-mails."

Keith Muir - 20/2/13


Received the Bullet HD 2 this morning thanks for the help and advice, I would have no hesitation in recommending hedcamz.com and will be doing should any of the lads ask about it when its mounted on the helmet and to anyone who was looking to purchase a helmet camera, customer service and knowledge was excellent and were a pleasure to deal with.
Wayne Boardman - 29/1/13


"Really appreciate the help, quick delivery and service. Totally above & beyond!"

"I've had a quick chance to test and have a look at the ISAW A2. Wow. The difference in quality of this camera is simply astounding. It knocks the socks off any of the other cameras that I've seen in terms of picture quality, simplicity and features. The bar mounts look like they'll do the job for my bike too."

"This piece of kit (HEDCAM) is very nifty, unless it's standing next to a six-foot tall lighter! "
Robert Marriott @ Weatherby's - 18/6/12


"I must comment it takes really good video footage for a small camera and much better value than the GoPro that some of my friends have got. And looks less stupid on your head!!!!!"
Stuart Noble - 7/3/12


"Would just like to say a big thanks to the service that has been given. I decided to order after seeing a camera in action. I ordered yesterday and it arrived on my desk this morning by first class registered post. The video quality is superb."
Andy Marshall - 3/1/12


“I’m a cynic and a sceptic, but the HEDCAM is brilliant! It is so light, it doesn’t bounce, you don’t notice it. It gives a brilliant picture, clear sound and is so simple to use!"
Toni Potts - 30/12/11


“Last time I wore one of these was in 1997 and I fell at the first in the Aintree Foxhunters. And they used the footage! I can’t even tell that I am wearing the HEDCAM Wide, unlike with other models, it is so light and discreet, the quality of the footage is amazing! "
Richard Burton 4 x National Men's Point to Point Champion - 21/12/11


"I just want to thank you for your service in answering all my questions to help me decide which camera to buy. I bought the Bullet HD 2 for use on my motorbike. Easy to use with the single button, vibration confirmation of button action, switch off after 2 minutes of non activity, two batteries, great range of mounting options. Highly recommended."
Graeme Craig - 9/5/11
