Tips for Using Your Helmet Cam
2. Be sure your camera's recording. This seems obvious, but you don't want to jump out of an airplane and realize you forgot to turn it on, do you?
3. If you're filming in a dusty or wet environment, take periodic breaks to clean the lens. You won't get good shots if the lens is covered in dirt or water.
