Step 8Mount the external camera; play with your setup
you should now have all of the pieces in place for a hands-free helmet cam.
Where to put the box and how to mount the external camera is another science altogether. It seems everyone has their own style and needs when it comes to the head (or other body part) mount. both hoyttech and b&h video have some good mounts.
microphone placement depends on application. If you're going to be in a windy environment, concealing the microphone tips from wind is important. If you're taking footage in the shop, you just want the microphones not in the way. The REI backpack has really conveniently placed loops on the shoulder strap for putting your microphones in. (see picture)
The other picture in this step is Erich jumping on the trampoline, reading a text message, and taking video footage of the whole ordeal. One might be able to do this with a regular camcorder, but probably not as awesomely!
