Some of the most exciting video footage coming from the 2010 Winter Olympics is being delivered by the helmet mounted action cameras riding on board with the Olympians. This is giving spectators around the world a first hand point-of-view angle on what it is like to be in the Winter Olympics.
As you may have seen in the exciting Ski Cross Events, the helmet cameras on the competitors helmets aren’t like anything that you can currently buy, these systems are complex high-end helmet cams used by production companies with loads of high tech gear. They get the videos ready within seconds to be played back as action replays. This type of set up may be ideal for you if you are willing to part with a few thousand quid.

We’ve been excited to have been working with the guys over at The Gadget Show to bring you a Channel Five prime-time feature on the best action cameras available on the market. The three which they decided to feature are the X170 Action Camera, the GoPro HD Helmet Hero and the ContourHD1080p.
Mike Catt, Rugby World Cup Winner and coach of the London Irish premiership team went on a search to find an innovative way to improve his backlines ability to see what he can see. The answer came to him in the form of the X170 Action Camera. Now he can review each play from
the player’s point of view.
“It’s just brilliant” was Catt’s comment when first watching back Chris Malone’s point of view after a quick run around on the pitch. Catt and game analyst Richy Whiffin are going to use the X170 Action Camera in training sessions throughout the season so we’re hoping this can contribute to their continuing success.
Thanks to the guys over at Piste Magazine who liked the X170 so much that they didn’t only want to write an article on it but also thought it would be an excellent gift for one of their lucky readers. Congratulations to Guy Monk who was announced as the winner of the X170 Action Camera.
