Hello,

I've been wanting to make "day in the life" video, but in a first person perspective view. I want most of the video to involve me skateboarding. I'm going to be using a canon hf10 for this and a century optics 37mm fisheye. Anyone know any good DYI rig ideas to make this possible? It needs to be somewhat steady and hands-free. More than likely I won't be using this again so the cheaper the better. I'm open to any ideas.

Here is a short example I did for a test. I was holding the camera with my right hand.

Thank you.

You could get a 1/4" bolt, run it through the bottom of a helmet, and screw the camera on top.

I came up with an idea now. The helmet thing didn't work out. Haha, thanks for the reply though. At least I got one reply.

:D
