Vitua Windsurfer is a Wavesailing head cam video that i filmed on a goin off weekend here in West Oz a few weeks back.

Previously i sent a link to this on youtube -the quality wasnt that great due to the INTENSE compression they put clips through.

Starboard have hosted a hi quality version on their website

you can grab it here:

Very nice.

What sort of gear is used to make these type of videos? Is it out of reach for us mortals or off the shelf stuff anyone can afford?

Thanks all for your positive comments - i was pretty happy with the results.

The helmet cam set ups can be found on helmetcameras.com.au or helmetcamera.com.au - they are competing companies.

about $800 will get you sorted - although you need to already own a digi video camera to record the images to. And check it for lanc (waterproof remote control) compatibility - sonys and canons are the go.

check the website and you will see all you need.

Get a backpack with lots of straps as you want this locked onto your back - and try not to freak out thinking about what happens if water gets into the pelican case (they are pretty reliable actually)

Then you need the stuff to edit it - now things start getting pricey - I use a mac with Final cut pro, motion for fx and DVD studio pro to author dvds - Premiere is the equivalent on a PC. Warning -Capturing and Editing video can be a very time consuming process - but it is fun.

Spend lots of time in bars watching local musicians - many of which are unbelievably good -ask them if they have some stuff that they wouldnt mind you using - most up and comers will be stoked for the exposure - and hey presto you should be able to source your soundtrack too. Of course you could just use anything but you are then wideopen for the lawyer sharks.
