    Sorry if this has already been answered (I looked for a good while and couldn’t find anything) but does anyone know of a rig setup for shooting POV shots? I’m looking to buy/build something that will allow me to attach a camera to someone’s head/face. Basically, I want to shoot something like this:

    Any links or info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Also, checkout Contour cameras. Check the Accessories tab for helmet mounting.
