The MiniCam Helmet, extreme sports helmet cam system of the future, is here today! The helmet is specially designed for hands free video, without the weight and bulk of the video recorder on the head! The Digital Video Recorder Pak (recorder sold separately) or Hi8 Video Recorder Pak is carried on the chest, in a backpack or even in a vehicle! The helmet has a built in high quality MiniCam video lens with microphone and a single video/audio/aux/power output cable to connect to any NTSC video recorder. Once the power cable is plugged into the 12 volt battery, the MiniCam Helmet will output its own NTSC video and line level audio signals. This means that you can plug the output cable into any home VCR, TV, A/V Transmitter, Digital or HI8 Mini Video Recorder Pak or even use the video camcorder you already own, to record on!
The Voodoo (shown in custom splats) is the classic original and much copied platform style, rear-entry camera helmet design. The Head Hunter Helmets Voodoo is preferred by professional videographers, skydiving schools, military teams, training centers, etc. The rear-entry design allows ease of entry and exit. The integral chin cup and moldable liner provides a comfortable, secure attachment to the head to control the weight of the cameras, greatly reducing "camera shake." The integral camera mount (4.5"W x 8.0"L) set at a 15 degree up-angle, eases the strain on the neck while shooting up at students in freefall from below. The rotatable (even in freefall!) still mount is standard. The sleek styling and recessed buckles reduce the possibility of snagging hazards, greatly increasing safety in a potentially dangerous environment.
The Vortex is the state-of-the-art, full-face, rear-entry platform style camera helmet. Designed for the professional freefall cinematographer requiring wide camera platforms set at a flat angle, to mount large video or movie cameras on the top and a 35mm still camera on the front, for "what you see, is what you get" hands free photography. The still camera mount rotates the 35mm camera from vertical to horizontal format, even while in freefall! Glasses and contact wearers love the the removable Lexan visor that provides additional protection and eliminates lost goggles. The visor also allows the placement of a dot on the visor as an alternative to a conventional ringsight, eliminating potentially hazardous ringsight entanglements.
