Head/Helmet Mounted Video Camera
 

Does anyone have a suggestion for a video camera you can wear on your head. You may use them for recording battle, but my purpose would be to record video while kayaking, specifically fishing from my kayak.

Requirements:
Waterproof
Store 1 hour of video
Not looking to break the bank

Found this one from Oregon Scientific, for $129 it sounds very good.

I'm not sure how these things work for Kayaking and whatnot...but we had a guy here in our Aid Station that wore one for a couple of trauma resuscitations (think "Trauma - Life in the ER")...we TRIED to watch it afterwards, but the rapid head movements and constant changes in perspective did little more than make us nauseous. :eek:
It was almost PAINFUL to try and watch.
I wish you the best on your endeavor, but realize that it's not going to be National Geographic.
Good Luck!

One of these might be a good option for you.

Dub,

A skydiving video helmet may be a start. SkySystems makes the sidewinder helmet that will fit several different cameras. It would allow you the potential to use something you already have. Of course there are associated costs...but the payback would be in the quality of the video. If that is not your primary concern than there are less expensive options.

You may want to discuss the field of vision/focus and stability issues that Eagle mentioned with some of videographers who shoot freefall or skydive footage as well.
