Matty and people who jump out of things

So, I'm going to be doing some form of paragliding/sailing in Cabo in a few weeks. I want to record it. So what do you guys do-put one of those cameras on your head-a "go pro?" is that what they are called? How much do those run? I likely won't use it too often. Are there cheaper alternatives?

There are tons of cheaper alternatives to the GoPro. This one is supposed to be good: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop

Then yer gonna need a chest mount or something similar to secure it to yourself. http://www.amazon.com/Oumers-Access..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=1PKV9FDGF1XRVM3EPVP6

I have an older Contour ROAM 2 camera that I mount to my motorcycle helmet. Paid around a hunnerd bucks for it used. I don't recommend it, the one linked above is superior and cheaper.

How would that one you linked work? It looks like people bough a bunch of extra stuff with it. I just want something to strap around my head or whatever. I could use my iPhone but that is probably not recommended. ?

I could read more about that right now, but my senses have been Ativan dulled at the moment and nothing is very clear. Dumb it down for me Matty. Can I just wrap this thing around my head? Because I can't wrap my head around it at the moment.

The second link in my post is a kit that includes a headband type of mount.

I might buy that camera and stick it on the back my motorcycle. Reviews are good.

Ok. I'll go with it. Thank you for your help. P.S. NRF in the green again. Weeeee

 

[Matty]

Nice.

BTW I think the camera doesn't come with a battery. You'll need this on top of the camera and the accessory kit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_3&smid=A1X9ZYH75S4ATO

Total damage is still only $130.

You might be able to just rent one there. The company you use for paragliding might have them for you to rent. Not uncommon anyway.

Last time it was just a solo guy on the beach outside the resort. It was a motorized parasailing deal. He did not offer any equipment, but I am sure I could find a scheduled deal with a company who may. That would be the better option if available probably. Who knows though, I might find something else to use it for.
