Anyone familiar with these cameras that you can mount on your head so you can film what you are looking at while getting ready to shoot a deer - I think some ATV riders have something like that on their helmets - I was thinking that it would be neat to record your hunting adventures - would be especially nice when your bow hunting - to record where you hit the deer - thanks
I have a GoPro that I strap on my head. Its good for short distances but anything over 50 yds doesn't show well. Here's a link to a video I took last year with this camera.

Probably would get more guys in trouble as opposed to helping,getting to close to the Mark of the Beast 666 for my liking.Quote:

I get lipstick cams from china (14.00) 720p, jelly lens, great image, 4gb sdcard. I sue it for driving, biking, etc.
If you want a scope cam so that you record the shot you can buy scope cam mounts and use a digital camera or there's probably cameras made specially for that. A youtuber I like uses scope cams for his air rifle stuff so I don't know how it would hold up with a shotgun, for example. The channel is "Teds HoldOver" if you want to see what I'm talking about
Its sits above your forehead, i wear over top of my ball cap and then just angle it down a bit, so it wouldn't get in the way of your scope.Quote:

The biggest con is there is no zoom, close range only.
If you want something pretty much hands free and for close range, then yes i would say its worth buying.
I did this setup a couple of years ago. It does work and can work really well as you can see from the video but after taking it out in the field a few times and forgetting to turn it on during an actual coyote kill.... I didn't bother taking it any more but this thread is getting me excited about trying it again..

PS... Again great shot on that deer...
I'm glad you liked it, there are a couple haters if you read some of the comments lolQuote:

nice shot. Nice deer.
Take a look at the Mobius (best price is on Ebay). Really popular little camera and there are all kinds of mounting options out there too.
this is what I use, I bring two for different angles Attachment 27612
I have a go pro and I really like it. The biggest pain is making sure it is pointing where you want it and the battery doesn't die. I have some good videos out of a layout blind on geese and I recently edited a 45 minute video of myself catching an 850lb blue fin tuna this Sept in PEI. I tried to post it but it says its too big.
Nicely done, sir! Definitely a big boy there!Quote:
