They filmed our case study Sue Archer who did brilliant job of exaplaining how the helmet cameras are used. Of course they neglected to mention us here at action cameras - the ones who gave them the story. But if raises awareness of how important it can be to wear helmet cameras then so much the better.
Maybe they could be polite enough to mention us and not simply speak to our case study direct and claim the story as their own but ho-hum …
When action cameras noticed that more and more cyclists were buying their helmet cams to record their commutes we thought it was a good story for the media. So we told them about it and they agreed. The story has been covered on London TV, the Evening Standard, the Daily Mail and more. Yesterday the story was on BBC Radio York. It’s a shame a good deal of these organisations don’t mention action cameras by name … after all it’s us who gave them the story. None the less - it’s all good news for cyclists as the message gets out that “motorists we’re watching you!”
More head cam action from BBC Radio One. You might remember we loaned them one of our helmet cameras for their celebrity laps.
It’s great fun. Every celebrity they have on the Chris Moyles show now does a lap of the studio and offices. You can see the view from Peter Jones’ (the guy from Dragon’s Den) helmet cam below. Not the greatest of quality once it’s been compressd in YouTube but it’s fun none-the-less:
The very entertaining cyclotherapy blog from the Independent has picked up on our helmet cameras for cyclists story. You can see the blog here
This story is clearly hiting a note with the media and it’s good to see cyclists empowered. We must say some thanks to the fine members over at cyclechat who have been more than happy to share their videos with actioncameras an the media
A super piece about helmet cameras being used by cyclists in London in the Evening Standard.
Quoting Sab they talk about how helmet cameras have moved out of just the extreme sports arena: “We originally started selling these to snowboarders and mountain bikers,” said Sab Jhooti of www.actioncameras.co.uk. “However, we found people have been using them to record their ride into work, and cyclists now account for the bulk of our sales.”
