Lf Discrete, Pov Camera

[ozhoon]

No, I'm not a peeping tom.

I'm experimenting with some new camera angles as I move into a different style/genre of vlogging, and I'd love to get the POV camera happening as an additional view I can cut to in videos.

I've experimented with a gopro-on-a-hat and it's worked great for some things (like a walk around of my car), but it's horrible for other things like POV driving and recording things as I do them from my POV (working on the car, walking around at meets, etc).

I need something that isn't so offset from my face, because you can tell that it's offset in the video.

I looked around at spy glasses, but they either have horrible video quality or they look like they were stolen from a 1990's teen.

Google Glass would have been a perfect resolution for this if it wasn't a $1700aud entry point.

Interested to get some recommendations on solutions. I'm looking for something that isn't so bulky and in-your-face as a gopro on a hat, but with decent video quality.

Audio quality doesn't matter as I run external audio recorders.

For my other channel I run a Mobius 2 ActionCam attached to a baseball cap which gets me 1080p 60fps. I mount it currently on the top of the peak but you could mount it below it if you wanted something more discrete.

Maybe something small like this,

@HippoDrone That möbius 2 might record nicely! I'm adding that to my consideration list

@scooterwuf cant think how I'd mount that :/


@dandoolittle i know you have experience running camera glasses. Any feedback on those?

This was a vid I recorded recently with it as a headcam....

It has a magnetic clamp, but on further reading there seems to be more minuses than pluses.
