This is awesome! We like the way design incorporates the in situ facemask, and the diagonal bars look like a smart call for stability. Thanks for posting, Bob. Go Fins!

This rig is heavier than what your neck and back would tolerate biking over rough terrain. I would use a go-pro on a head band for mountain biking.
Thanks for your question, Samantha!

Derek, thank you for your comment.
Our helmet cam was not built to be a low-cost steadi-cam. Its unique purpose is to be a hands-free, POV rig that can also capture the movements of the operator throughout the scene. Our project required our DP to actually be the first-person character. None of the available steadicam configurations would have worked for us.

We included excerpts from those famous films merely to give readers who may not be familiar with film terms and technique a few familiar examples of POV.

The reputations of Mssrs. Hitchcock and Scorsese should remain unharmed by our enthusiasm for our pet creation.

We needed a hands-free camera rig like this because the DP was more than a camera operator; he was the main character. His hands and/or feet are visible in all of the scenes as he interacts with other characters. We could not use any of the conventional POV shooting approaches made famous in "Rear Window."

What’s the best way to use it while mountain biking?

Do you think Quentin Tarantino would have been able to make a better Pulp Fiction if this camera was produced when he recorded the movie?

If you remove the camera, can this helmet double as orthodontic braces in extreme cases?

To put the names Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese in the same breath as these “ground-breaking, cutting-edge” weight-balanced, camera-mounted helmet people… is like saying space monkeys were also pioneers of the universe just like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

Alfred Hitchcock shot most of his POV’s with the huge Bolex 16mm. How much weight do you think his DP needed on his HelmetCam to keep him from falling face-first out the “Rear Window?”

Re: EXP Innovation

Derek — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:06:22 -0000

The reason “no one’s ever seen” your “first-person camera rig” before… is because the steadicam was invited in 1975.

Did they use a camera like this to record parts of Matrix?

I actually think Orson Welles invented this contraption first, but could never achieve the shots he wanted, because helmets were leather back in his day.

Re: EXP Innovation

It would also be cool if you build a contraption that attaches a bracket that mounts wheels to the bottom of the videographer's feet so that you could get those trucking or dolly shots or when you want to zoom in.

Hi Daniel,

With that kind of height discrepancy, you would need a taller operator. That same problem would arise even if your DP was operating hand-held with the camera on his or her shoulder.

Thanks for your question!

Thanks for posting, Julie!
This is a one-of-a-kind rig. The EXP team custom-built it for our "A Day in the Life--The Accident" series.
How much do you think a camera rig like this would fetch?

Re: EXP Innovation

David Rumsey — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:17:49 -0000

Thanks for reading, Dan!
The fixture on top of the helmet is a camera screw. Anything that can attach to a camera screw can be mounted there. If that doesn't work with your gear, you could insert different hardware in that top vent hole to accommodate a shotgun mic or similar. An actual boom might get unwieldy for the operator.

Explain how the helmet camera works when you are using an actor who is taller than the videographer. Like if the actor is 6'2" and the videographer is 5'4", does the videographer have to put on 10" heels to get the camera to the height for the proper POV angle?
