I'm moving to Idaho and I'm going to be snowboarding a lot and doing a lot of dirt bike riding. I want to get a helmet camera but I don't know what to get. I know there's gopro but are there any other good brands?
Answer
There are multiple brands and models available I've included all of the major brands but there are others out there. Ultimately your personal needs, preferences and of course budget will decide for you. I've listed the brands in order of my own preference based on their top end model)
Brands:
GoPro: www.gopro.com
Contour: www.contour.com
Sony: www.sony.com
Ion: www.ioncamera.com
Drift: www.driftinnovation.com
JVC: www.jvc.com
Polaroid: www.polaroidstore.com
Chili Technology: www.chilli-tech.com
(In my opinion the GoPro is the best currently on the market given the video and picture quality options and frame rates available. Also there is the huge range of mounting accessories which are available and especially the WiFi remote and the app. This makes it in my opinion the most versatile especially as it is not a shotgun style camera so it can be mounted on the front of a helmet or off the front facing the wearer.)
I would also advise against buying a Hero 2 as they may be slightly cheaper but its a false economy. Firstly the lens design on the Hero 3 is much better (clarity wise) and more versatile than the Hero 2, hence why GoPro had to produce a separate dive housing for the Hero 2 (lets face it your not going to be snowboarding all of the time). The new premium accessories are not compatible eg. the LCD touch bacpac. The Hero 3 is half the size and weight of the Hero 2 so when it is mounted to your head you will really notice the difference. The Hero 2 is also not WiFi enabled you need to buy a bacpac for it, making it even bigger and heavier. GoPro have also announced plans for some serious upgrades to the WiFi app which will include transfer of video captured and playback, making WiFi a much more useful feature.

Helmet Recommendation?
The Wild C
I'm looking for a helmet that basically looks cool, one thats not so huge and makes you look like a dork, and has a good crash test rating. I need it for long distance and local biking.
Answer
The weight weenies, and ventilation conscious will flame me for this (as well they should), but I am very partial to my Pro-Tec Ace Dig. It fits well, it's not too heavy (compared to the hardhat I'm used to wearing), it's doesn't make me look like I just got off a space ship, and best of all, it's TOUGH. Most helmets are toast after any kind of impact. The Pro-Tec Ace Dig is a multiple impact helmet designed to take big hits. Did I mention that it's pretty darn stylie? You can pick one up for about forty five bucks from JensonUSA. Drawbacks? Heavy, hot in the summer, and it might get you negative attention from snobs. Most of my riding is on the dirt, and I live in a small town where everyone hates bikes, so nobody really gives me any crap about it. Pro-Tec also makes a helmet called the cyphon, which is lighter, with better ventilation. Good Luck.
