Choosing a Ski Helmet Camera For Your Skiing Adventures
When you’re ready to go on your next skiing trip, perhaps to The Alps, Snow Bird, or Jackson Hole, Wyoming; you will want to have the best video setup for your ultimate video performance. First you need to figure out if you want a compact video cam system or a system with many wires and battery packs to deal with. Realistically, you want a helmet camera video system that has one camera cable and a DVR for play back reviewing. Typically, these helmet cam units range from $400 to $ 800. For a more practical or limited budget, the bullet cam DVR systems are great for the price but a little more to deal with. These bullet camera video camera systems typically range about $400 for the DVR unit and bullet cam. You will have more wires with a bullet cam complete system and a battery pack too, but the quality of video is remarkably good for the price.
When choosing a bullet camera video system some features to look for will be to choose a camera with an ease to use, High Capacity SD Card recording capability with a large amount of recording GB, such as the Elmo Suv Cam. These bullet cameras are used when snowboarding, atving, and skiing. A system like the ELMO II has one camera cable so you don’t have to mess with wires and battery packs. These helmet camera recording systems have a DVR attached so you can view your recordings instantly. Before you actually start recording your ski runs, it is always a good idea to test you shot and view of the angle you are recording with on the DVR. With such a high capacity SD card, you can get up to 6 hours of recording at the highest resolution.
For a more affordable bullet cam system, a system with a DVR separate from the helmet cam is a good option. Systems with a separate bullet camera should be at least 480 to 580 CCD Line high resolution. These types of setups are a little more to deal with, but provide the very good quality because of the CCD image sensor. These systems have about 4 wires to connect the complete system together which is the bullet cam, battery pack and DVR.
