Nate1647545505 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 So I've been looking for ways to get some decent vid when we are out of the wire, turns out the BestBuy near us had an open box Kodac Play Sport 1080 cam open box for half off. Decided to pick it up but had to come up with a way to mount it (somewhere) on myself. Nothing a boot blouse, extra mag pouch, and some tinkering can't resolve... http://i55.tinypic.com/2qdsn6u.jpg :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 A serious flaw in my design was encouter during testing. The button to start/stop recording is on the rear of the unit, and is sensitive to pressure. Any movement would stop recording and start it again. So... We have lots of water bottles (and caps), lots of people who smoke (and whom have lighters), and my trusty knife... http://i51.tinypic.com/rsxzfc.jpg I was able to score the ring with my knife, and get a good melt to the camera. Worked out better then expected, even caught fire for a few seconds, shit still works. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patent that design, if no one else has thought of it, I'm sure there are some "extreme" athletes who have had the same problem as you.

Scotty2Hotty Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 You need a good luck mascot mounted on the truck someplace. Example: Woody has served in OIF/OEF http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/34072_1524458994771_1333510790_31420087_941245_n.jpg This day he wanted to be my AG.

Nate1647545505 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 no helmet mounted cams? Brigade has some thoughts on that and I'll just say we don't agree, had to find a non conspicuous way of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
