I have been using point-of-view (POV) cameras for over five years, and this is the first one I have seen that was designed specifically for the Motorsport industry. It uses a unique vacuum cup mount that allows you to attach it to any smooth, non-porous surface including windshields, dashboards, hoods, etc. Hoyttech also sells a mount, which allows you to secure the camera to a roll bar or motorcycle frame. The camera includes a variety of video modes to select from including standard or high definition.
Filmed using a VIO POV.1.5, more product information is available here.

Jorge Oros came to Sonoma Skypark 3 years ago, when he was 13 years old, with the hopes of one day becoming a pilot.
On December 23rd 2009, Jorge joined the ranks of an elite group of pilots who are fortunate enough to take their first solo flight at the earliest time possible - when they turn 16 years old.
Jorge's solo flight was witnessed by a group of his close friends and family as well as his instructor, Andy Smith, at Sonoma Skypark Airport in Sonoma, CA.
We'll be working to complete the project by sometime in January of 2010, complete with interviews and more in-depth footage from Jorge's solo flight. In the mean time, we hope you enjoy this trailer, which should give you some insight into how exciting this event really is in someone's life, no matter who they are!
Congratulations Jorge!

Simply put, totally random footage, on a totally random day, making the best out of what nature handed me. Really bad light, crazy snow, and very reliable chairlifts allowed for a little bit of something. Hopefully this will inspire to find the best in every type of condition, as it is not always a sunny perfect day on a Heli trip in Alaska.
