Mini camera

Hey guys,

I’ve seen several “point of view” videos with Fatboy Slim, Skrillex, and more recently Uppermost :

I was wondering if you knew any good “camera” to do this ?

I’m not looking for a full 1080p high definition under water etc, i just want to use it to record video mixes :slight_smile:

Also, it would be awesome if what’s recorded could be sent live to a computer, for streaming :slight_smile: ( i guess i’m asking for too much here)

http://contour.com/ check it out, great quality, but there far cheaper ones without a doubt

The GoPro is horrible in low-light conditions, but amazing in every other way. Especially the new one, that has a mic input

Dude, i need something small i can attach to shades or something, not a big grey box on my head :smiley:

Contour has some nice products, the “Roam” looks awesome, but maybe a bit too good, i don’t need 1080p that much. Thanks anyway.

Do you know if a model that can be hooked up to a computer via USB for streaming even exists ?

Based on your criteria, just strap a webcam to your face. Seriously. It’s going to be the smallest and cheapest way to do it.

AHahahahahahahah. I just can’t stop laughing :smiley:

Legit idea. But i would need a small one.
But then i’m screwed when it comes to recording and not broadcasting. I’d like to do both :slight_smile:

I’ll do some more research, but the Contour Roam + Webcam strapped on my face could be the good combo :smiley:

If you wanted to get fancy, get two of the same webcam and then you can record/broadcast or broadcast in 3-D … ok that’s a little too zany. But totally possible. Science.

+1 on the webcam, im pretty sure with the right programs you can do some fancy recording, I picked up a camera from china thats like the size of a 1 pound coin… no drivers though but would of been ideal…

You can use one webcam for multiple applications at once. Look up Many Cam. I use it with a bootleg RCA to USB to convert the video signal into one recognized by other projects because for some reason nothing recognizes the cheap chinese card’s video EXCEPT Many Cam. So I know it works. I’ve done a few things with routing the video to multiple programs again.

Just grab a webcam
Strip the casing off
???
Profit?

What’s with recording without a PC then ?

My dream camera would be something that do both : recording on an SD card OR transmitting through USB cable to a PC/Mac.
