Versatility
We've been in business long enough to know our helmet cams are used in many different ways. Below you will find
out why its versatility goes beyond what's expected from a great helmet cam. But first lets talk about what else it can do for you.
The design of the camera and cable harness is segmented. This allows for several different configurations to easily adapt into other valuable uses such as wireless video monitoring, home security, nanny cam, motion detection, and many
more. Of course, additional equipment may be needed. Most people don't realize how versatile our helmet cams really are!
So feel free to share this information with your significant other...hint hint. Or just feel comfortable knowing a Sportzshot POV Sport Camera doesn't have to collect dust in your closet while you're taking a break from super action hero duties.
Hi-Resolution Video Imaging
This helmet cam comes with the Sony Ex-View 1/3" CCD image device delivering crisp imagery, excellent color reproduction, and quality optics with an outstanding 580 lines of resolution. It has excellent low light capabilities and the electronic iris adjusts quickly to changing light conditions. It accepts many different lenses allowing for multiple fields of view. There is also a replaceable protective glass lens cover so don't worry about flying debris.
Flexible Mounting
The Sportzshot PVS-MOUNT-PRO goggle/helmet mount is designed to mount to smooth surfaces like helmets or attach to webbing and straps such as a goggle strap. Either mounting option provides a very stable platform. The goggle mount is based around a flexible yet semi-rigid platform that makes it the most stable goggle mount on the market. This mount has been used in the most demanding environments and has always performed well and proven to be very versatile. You won't find this mount anywhere else! Again, do your homework... all helmet cam mounts are not created equal.
We also have a large selection of other mounting options such as handlebar mounts, roll bar mounts, suction mounts, motorcycle mounts and more. The Sportzshot Helmet Cam can accommodate any mount that uses the standard 1/4'20 threaded stud. more mounts

The Sportzshot battery pack will power your helmet cam for over 8hrs at normal room temperature. It's lightweight and slim design allow it to stow away nicely in a pack or pocket. It connects directly into the cable and powers both the camera and mic simultaneously. It's important to have a lot of capacity to get you through the day, especially in cold environments. Put your confidence in the Sportzshot battery pack. more info
