just go to a local big box store, conveniently pick up a digital cam for 99.99 in electronics and walk on over to house wears to pick up a roll of duct tape, pay, go home, combine on helmet and your set man.

The freeskier POV cameras look like a headlamp. They basically are a headlamp with a mini camera instead of a lamp with a rediculous fisheye on it.

The best shot is definitely when you are holding the camera in your hand above your head and the shot is down on you, while you are hitting jumps and shit. I know... I know that would mean no poles, but still the POV is so ill, so it makes up for the no poles. Thats just my POV tho, lol!

I made my own.

for christmas i got a cheap flip looking camera,so i took some velcro and attached it to my helmet and cam and i could get some pretty sick shots with it,but its not that good of quality.

GoPro cams are compact digital cameras loaded with wide angle lenses and put into a plastic mount. They're suppose to be pretty nice, but you really just need the mount and can use your own camera.

the gopro ones are so much better though. No cables, no camera or anything else bulky to carry on you, just the tiny little camera on your head. and the wide angle is sooo legit. Those things are baller.
