    PERFECT Basher Camera!

    hey guys,
    Needed to share this, cuz ive been looking for an answer to this problem for a while. Unlike Jang, I cannot film while I bash, at least its not a good idea, or I dont do my best anyways lol, and so its been hard to get things on film, and ive missed some serious cool stuff that could have gone on camera. Usually when a product like this is released, first thing I dont pay attention to it. But with companies like Apple, Microsoft (new tablets gonna be sick btw) or Google come out with things, I do, and I am definatly a techie and Love my electronics, almost as much as my RCs. . Key word, Almost.

    So... What do to, short of mounting a Go Pro on your head, which btw I have thought of doing! lol. This is an awesome answer...

    Called Google Glasses, and I am picking one up ASAP when it hits the market. Can start filming, bash and it will be in persepective. Super sick!

    Btw.. This was the BEST pic I could find. Really... lol



    Sad part, Not available till 2014. Which makes me frustrated they announced it so early, cuz I NEED these! Plus... Who doesnt want to look like a member of STar Treks cast? I know I DO!

    This is why the transmitter camera is a great technique. This is a shot of mine from a while back:



    Unfortunately, it's not as practical with the DSLR I use now.

    I have a GoPro helmet strap it works great, but looks kinda funny strapped with the camera on your head. I think everyone is looking at me like i'm a dork or something.

    i do the same thing, but my camera mount is on top. good idea for crawlers. it is hard for speed runs. for me it is.

    Before I recieved my gopro I used a tripod and regular camera and planned my shots. I did that for almost 2 years making videos. Seemed to work out great. You can also pick up the 808 cameras off ebay. For 13$ they hold up great to abuse taking decent video well.

    HAHAHA. I was just thinking about doing this, and thinking of how much of a dork I would look like! I drive left handed, so i use my left hand to steer and right hand for throttle so the transmitter is always sideways.
