The Rise of HEDCAMz

Posted: 23rd January 2015 | Back to news feed

Despite the ban on their use (temporarily) whilst TRL are carrying out testing, it has to be said that
Hedcamz are the smallest, lightweight, most unobtrusive camera on the market,
that combine a wide angle POV and HD footage.  In this they are unique to
the market.  Cameras that have caused concern are large, heavy,
rectangular, can impact backwards into the helmet, and therefore they have
sparked concern.  Helmet cameras are great training aids and evidential
tools when hacking out.

 

The Rise of HEDCAMz – Whether you want to film;  your favourite horse sport, whilst out trail riding, schooling, or to improve your riding technique you need to get yourself a HEDCAM!

The ever popular HEDCAM Ten80 and the previous 7twenty are  unobtrusive, extremely lightweight, thumb sized wearable camcorders that are fully self contained with a built in battery that gives approx. 1.5 hours of filming time in FULL 1080P HD mode (720P HD for HEDCAM) .  They take MicroSD cards up to 32GB, the card is simply removed and the footage played back on a laptop. It could not be simpler to use.  Hedcamz also feature a small laser which enables you to align the lens correctly, and a simple ‘click’ on/off button with a power indicator.

Although many  people are using these great little cameras to record their rides out so that they can relive their memories and share with family and friends through social media, there is much more to them than meets the eye!

The HEDCAM is not only  used by horse riders,  but has been tested by snowboarders, skiiers, surfers, mountain climbers, free-runners,  dirt bike riders, rally car drivers and participants in every other extreme sport known to man.  Footage can be viewed at www.HEDCAMz.com. 

TRAINING

As a Training Aid it is also used by Leading International Event Riders, helping them to improve their performances and dissect rounds, demonstrating and identifying where improvements can be made.  Similarly the life of expensive lessons can be extended by recording and storing the footage to be revisited at a later date.  This extends the practical value of your lessons beyond the one hour of tuition, and enables you to create your own HD reference library.  You never have to forget vital tips and techniques again.

Similarly if you are encountering difficulties in your training, you can quickly and simply send footage over to your trainer for a quick and inexpensive appraisal and valuable help.

The list of ways in which HEDCAMz can be utilised is growing every day.  Help us add to it by submitting your ideas to us.
