For the up and coming worlds in Canada I will have an extra Helmet Cam for a boat, but do not have another camcorder able to play it. My question is, would any body be willing to have a helmet cam put in there boat, that has a camcorder or able to get a camcorder able to accept the signal. I would supply everything you need for the footage except the camcorder which I don't have. At the end of the worlds I will transfer the rough footage on DVD and send you a complete copy, along with the DVD that I will be making. And if you want make a DVD of just your boat. It doesn't matter to me because I will get marked in it at school anyways.

If any body has any questions or comments just PM me or post here.

What kind of signal, or what kind of camcorder does one need???

the type of signal ( that's what i call it) is the same as a VHS player, if you are able to get picture though the camcorder when hook up to the VHS player then the camera that you have will work.

Here is a list of camcorders that are compatible. The camera must have AV in, a Lanc(remote) port for the camcorder is very handy as well.

One of the new camcorders that is nice and small and has av in and lanc is the sony dcr hc 96.
cheers

The DCR-HC96 is the camera that I used last year, and will be using this year in another boat, it worked very well. The Lanc that Vince said is a nice thing to have, but if you camcorder doesn't have one, and you want to put the helmet cam in your boat then don't think twice about asking, I will find a way to keep that camera rolling!!!!!!!!

Like I said, a way to check if your camcorder will work it hook it up to a VCR and see if you get picture from the VCR. Don't forget if you check to go through the modes (TAPE, PLAY/EDIT, ETC).

I just got off the phone with a friend, he says that he will let me borrow his camcorder for the worlds for the helmet cam. So that means you don't need to use your own camcorder!!!

So now would any body want to have a helmet cam in there boat for the worlds. Like I said before you will receive the entire event on DVDs from inside the boat, a DVD of the worlds done up with music and all classes, and if wanted a DVD of just there boat in the 2007 worlds in Canada. JUST REMEMBER you will now have to require nothing. I will do everything from hooking it up to putting tape in or charging the battery and of course taking it off. Unless you want to do this stuff yourself.

So if anybody would like a helmet cam for there boat in the worlds PM me or post here.

Now that I look at my posts I am sorry if they are hard to understand, I was in a rush.

The long and short of it is. Would anybody like a helmet cam in there boat during the worlds?

Yes you will get the footage
Yes you will get a DVD of the event
And a DVD of just your boat

Again sorry if my posts were hard to read.

Let me talk with my captain. But I think we might...

Fired Up Racing (couple of rookies) would be glad to run the cam on board as well. We are running in the C class, don't know if you are looking for footage from them boys. BUT what the hell, just thought I would throw another option at you.

What I mean as first come first serve is whoever I see at the Whtecourt Boat launch, TECH inspection, or show 'n' shine first.

Would people be able to PM and tell me your name and stuff or what your boat looks like so I know what to look for.

The DVDs that I make of people boats will most likely come in 5 or 10 to hand out to friends or relatives.

To Wilson and Firedup. Would it be possible for you guys on the way back form the longer legs such as Peace River down stream, Canfor Bridge to Grande Prairie, to learn how to switch the tapes and put a new battery in. I don't think looking at the schedule I will be able to. It isn't very hard to do and will only have to be done those two times. I will put the stuff needed to do this in the camera bag.

The reason I am wondering is I know that there will be things to do up or down stream to get ready for the way back.

If able to do so would be very much appreciated. If not I will try to figure something out.

I'm a slow learner, but I think I can handle that. Laughing

Please look for a very bright orange "A" class boat at the tech-in... I don't remember the number (It's not my boat), but will advise in some days.

Should be no problem switching tapes and batteries on those legs. Consider it done! Look for boat #c118 Fired-up, (burnt red and black boat) I think we are in the high 20's for pit box numbers. Look forward to seeing you for tech in day.
