anyone have any comments on helmet cams, brands etc. Especially which ones are crap and which are good?

Had a look at the Go pro's and they are pretty smchicko, but a bit exxy and maybe a awkward shape for amateur filming? Anyone used the Oregon Scientifics ATC3's?

Just shared the purchase of the GoPro HD - good pics on the first run. Will try on board too.

For helmet cam video: You need either a wide angle lens or high frame rate so you can get good slower motion shots. The ATC3 won't fit the bill for a helmet cam, it'll look too jerky.

Won't be as critical if you're just shooting stills.

On the other hand, a wide angle lens will make things look further away and smaller - that 10ft monster wave may only look like 4ft!!!
