Hd Helmet Cams For Rent

Oct. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- First tracks in fresh powder. The sun is just about to clear the ridge and flood light into a sick line. Off you go for one of the best runs ever. The only thing that’s missing is an HD helmet cam to shoot it all. For those of us who can’t or don’t want to afford another toy eMotionCam® has the answer: the company is renting HD helmet cams from kiosks in ski resorts all over the country.
eMotionCam® successfully launched its service last season in select cities and has now expanded to some of the finest names when it comes to snow adventure: Jackson Hole, Park City, Winter Park, Heavenly, Vail, Breckenridge – rental kiosks are located in almost twenty resorts around the country and new ones are being added all the time.
The idea is really quite simple: rent an HD helmet cam along with mounts for your helmet or goggles and shoot all day. Then return the camera to the kiosk and it automatically burns a DVD-ROM. You can also dump the footage on a USB stick (bring your own or buy it at the kiosk), or purchase the MicroSD Card that you recorded on. All that starts at around $40 for a 24-hour period so you can pick the camera up in the evening and drop it off after a full day of riding.
eMotionCam® also copies editing software, both free and demo versions, onto the DVD-ROM, as well as special offers and coupons from resorts. The software easily let’s you edit and upload clips to video sharing websites such as Youtube. The entire service is well thought out and the kiosk looks slick with a touch screen interface that makes operations easy.
eMotionCam® rents the ContourHD which is considered one of the best helmet cams on the market. A large record slider on the top allows simple usage even when wearing gloves. The HD footage looks both gorgeous and cool because of the wide-angle lens that lends itself well to shooting action. The camera even records sound, so your famous last words before the spill are preserved for posterity.
With online video sharing growing endlessly this idea seems sure to stay around. eMotionCam® is expanding to other sports, such as kart racing and surfing, and has kept some of the kiosks open over the summer for mountain bikers as well.
