Of my favorite things to do as a kid was make videos. My step-dad was a TV repairman, and he usually got the newest electronic gadgets very inexpensively. One day he came home with a Panasonic video-cassette recorder. The things was HUGE! It weighed about 15 pounds and was the size of a VCR. It was bulky, but how I loved it! I tried to make “action” films and such. Some, I might add, weren’t too shabby!
My kids are the same way– they love to make skits and to dress up and make videos. The camcorder I got for them a few years ago is smaller than that old Panasonic, but it’s still pretty hefty (and takes mini VCR tapes). I saw this Oregon Scientific Atc2k helmet cam and my heart melted. Look at this thing, is this cool or what?! You can strap it on your helmet and away you go! Think of all the terrific shots you could get! It’s sold at HelmetCameraCentral.com. It’s a little pricey ($120, with free shipping) but it would make a nice “big” gift for that video freak in the family. I know I’d love one, lol!
HelmetCameraCentral.com has some other really cool gadgets– there’s a Video Swim Mask that is very cool, other helmet cams, camera mounts, camera memory, and more! And shipping is free on selected items. Very creative gadgets!

Me too!
I don´t have any. I only have a digital camera that I bought myself last year as a Christmas present. My pics aren´t any good, lol.
I think I would take a long time to learn how to work with this toy.
A good Thursday. xx
