Building a Sanyo Xacti helmet cam holder – case

Jos Vorkmans | 01/29/2010

(post in english because of the frequent Xacti visitors)
So after my underwater experiments I decided to build a helmetcam case for the Sanyo Xacti VPC CA9 HD.
This is what I need for a helmetcam:
- need to be able to de)attach quickly you don’t use it all day
- review movies: you don’t want to come home with footage of sky/snow for a whole day. Possible with the Xacti
- Wide angle: otherwise you miss to much. I bought a wide angle converter that magnetically attaches to a stick-on metal ring
- rotating: I have a habit of tucking my head in when I go faster: so if the camera would stay horizontal that would be perfect

So this is what I came up with: navigate to the gallery below to see the building process

I actually did a test run with it..in dreadful conditions: mines 4 celsius on top of the mountain, snow changing in rain. Conclusion: works fine, but needed to minimize the shaking in the hinge (a small plate of alu in there) .
Problem: after that the camera stopped working. It was under guarantee and the Sanyo people repaired it in 10 days time. The flex cable between screen and camera was kaput. Camera works fine now, but because I needed another cam to go on my board trip, I gat a GoPro Hero HD version tot test out. Results of that one where amazing!

GoPro Hero HD helmetcamera snowboard test (blooper section included)

Jos Vorkmans | 01/26/2010

http://www.vimeo.com/8996290
De jaarlijkse shortski in Warth was ook en testje voor m’n nieuwe helmetcam setup: de GoPro Helmet HD, Wegens mijn vorige helmetcam (Sanyo Xacti met een custom built case, later hier wel wat meer over…) die de geest gaf had ik deze GoPro gekocht bij de mensen van http://www.goprocam.eu/.

Na verschillende testjes (side mount, top mount, skier mounted, boarder mounted,…) komen we tot deze conclusies:
- echt leuk speelgoed
- zeer solide built
- mooie package: een massa aan mounts, statiefjes,… en vaak heb je die ook nodig om en goed beeld te krijgen in de praktijk.
- je mist het gebrek aan LCD scherm niet. De breedhoek zorgt ervoor dat je toch alles erop hebt staan
- goede beeldkwaliteit
- HD is a pain to edit. Gelukkig heb ik alles “slechts” in 720p / 60 frames per second gefilmd
- Je moet via een omwegje gaan als je die 60fps in slow-mo in iMovie wil krijgen (ook later meer hierover)
- …

Soit. Hope you enjoy the movie. Kan normaal op fullscreen.
Wil je meer weten over helmetcams, drop a line in de comments.
Er is ook een Youtube versie, maar die is (nog maar) in 480P , ik verwacht de 720p tegen morgen.

Boarding Pass redesign

Jos Vorkmans | 01/14/2010


Ik ben altijd een vleugje nerveus wanneer ik vlieg. Gewoon kwestie van alles bij te hebben (dat lukt wel) maar vooral van “waar steekt alles” (veel te veel opbergvakjes om dingen in te steken).
Vandaar dat een duidelijke boardingpass een pluspunt is. Een paar goede boarding pass goede redesigns.
