The NFL network had a unique idea of showing the “day in the life” through the players’ eyes as they prepare for the 2011 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.  They approached stillmotion to help create a helmet cam system. Read the full write up on the gear used here.

OMG why didn’t they just GO PRO cameras instead of these monsters?
this isn’t new tech. red camera,nikon, arri and many more do this, go pro hd is way more efficient. and it doesn’t really help that you have a full dslr hanging off your head opposed just a sensor and lens. this is a cheaper and more affordable way of doing it, but nothing new. plus it looked to me they were using crop sized censor canons not the full frame so there was some trouble capturing full view. I respect the try but it doesn’t seem they put much time and effort into creating a real recording machine. just some Jerry rigging design they found online probably. hopefully they are still trying to engineer a better design for the athletes to be comfortable in. POV shooting is coming more and more popular outside of porn! haha but people who have weak designs will be left in the water.
they should have used a pancake lens. voigtlander 20mm.
