An open-face motorcycle helmet -- with a strap -- will work well for this job.
Whether you're a fan of video or still photography, and you like Canon, Panasonic, Sony or any other brand of camera, you may find a time during your life as a photographer when a camera mounted on a helmet is in order. While you can purchase a "helmet cam" from any number of specialty suppliers, it's likely a cheaper prospect to create one on your own. With some minimal handyman skills, you should be able to accomplish the job inside the span of an afternoon.
Instructions
1. Place your corner brace on the side of the helmet so that there is one side of the brace coming straight out from the helmet. Mark the places where the holes will go; then drill the marks with a 7/32 drill bit to make holes for your screws. Drill all the way to the inside of the helmet.
2. Place a washer on each screw, and then insert them through the helmet, with the brace in position. When they come out the other side, place a nut on the part that is on the inside of the helmet. Tighten the nuts with pliers.
3. Place the ball head onto one of the open holes on the brace. Use a screw to affix the ball head to the brace hole.
4. Place your camera's mounting hole on top of the ball head mount, and screw it on. Be sure that the camera is tightly affixed to the ball head.
