Sports are exciting to watch. They are even more exciting when your own family members or friends are playing. However, if you are the techie in charge of the camera, you know it’s frustrating to try to record and also watch the action!

Bullet Cameras Best Solution!

Anyone who has tried to video an entire game knows that you really do not see much of the action from behind a camera lens. Yet, if you set the camera on a tripod, it becomes difficult to be sure that the action is centered and in focus. Either option is less than satisfactory. You either miss the action live or the film you end up with is not the best quality.

One solution to this problem is to purchase a bullet camera. This is a special camera that is highly portable. Bullet cameras are small cylindrical cameras that can be attached to hats, or helmets. Since they are mounted at eye level, they record what you are watching. (You’ll need to practice your awareness of having this camera mount, tip: keep your eye on the game, not your friends nearby!) It is great because you get to watch the action and you know that your camera is picking up what you are actually seeing. When your daughter scores that goal, or your son makes that touchdown, you are not sitting behind the camera. Instead, you are proudly watching and the bullet camera is recording it all for posterity. It is a win- win situation!

Bullet cameras are fairly easy to come by on the internet. Just type in a search for bullet cameras and tons of stores selling them will appear. There are battery powered cameras so having a ready power source when taping that sporting event is not a problem. If you are the athlete in the family, you can even wear your camera as you play. Imagine your own helmut cam footage. Just remember that the cameras are delicate and avoid placing them in harm’s way in helmut crushing situations. One hard hit and you may not just lose yards, you may lose your camera!
