|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Do-It-Yourself projects Curtis Clegg, Photographer Belvidere | IL | USA | Posted: 6:29 PM on 12.26.06 ->> I was on the makezine.com website looking for helmet cam ideas for another thread, and I ended up spending most of the afternoon looking at various DIY projects that should appeal to photographers. The ones I especially liked are below. There are tons of other cool photo-related DIY projects that require soldering, knowlege of circuit boards and components, access to specialized components, etc. but most of that stuff is over my head so I didn't include it (people are doing some cool stuff with hacked "one-time-use" video cameras). I would love to hear about others' success with those high-tech projects though. Helmet cam http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/07/helmet_cam_hands_free_video_pr...
