If you are new to the idea of filming from your point of view then you may be looking for some advice on what would be the most suitable camera for you, this buyers guide is here to help point you in the right direction.
You’re first basic decision is whether you should go for a wired camera or a self contained helmet camera. While the self-contained cameras are generally more reasonably priced than the wired camera systems, we believe that the decision actually lays in what quality you aiming to capture.
The size and durability of the smaller self-contained cameras has meant that the designers have had to compromise on the inner workings of the cameras. The quality to still very good however if you are carrying a recorder with you i.e. a wired camera then the recorder will be capturing superior quality footage.
The wired cameras e.g. the POV.1 Action Camera, will be giving you brilliant quality footage, but the compromise on your behalf is that you will be carrying the recorder around with you. This isn’t always a big worry to all of our customers as they understand that the quality of the camera is worth it, but if you are worried about this then you can minimise the hassle by using one of the cameras that come with a remote control; this way you won’t need to mess around with the recorder, all you would need to do is turn it on and then use the remote control when you would like to start and stop the filming.

We also understand that at the end of the day the price tag also is something that cannot be ignored. So if you are looking to get the best value for your and are working on a limited budget or are buying the kit as a gift for someone else then perhaps your focus should move towards the self contained action cameras. There is a fairly wide range of these self contained cameras for you to choose between and your choice would most likely reflect what you are looking to use the camera for.
