Help Needed!!

[Dim]

For Design and Technology at School i needed to create something and i decided to deisign a Camera full face Helmet with inbuilt MP3 player. What do u guys think?. Would u use something like this to film your rides or am i just wasting my time ???

Plz tell me im not wasting my time :S

[Ben_9]

that sounds sick your NOT wasting your time

[turtle muncha]

nah i love the idea i think its great the only thing that would make me not buy 1 would be the $$$ i can only just afford a full face and want a vid camera and a mp3 player but cant afford them so all in all its a great idea but wat price range were u thinkin

ide use it anyway let me know how it goes

[2 smooth 4 u]

that would be sweet make shure the vidio camera is protected so it can take a beating

[Dim]

yea it would be professionally made..i think i might make the camera incorporated into the visor..and by the way its one of those little spy cams so they are tiny. so it will be awesome

[turtle muncha]

so u r actaully makin 1??? if u do wat do u think $$$ will b??

[Dim]

i wont be selling it...its just something i make for Design and Technology. I will be adding the camera and Mp3 to my 661 full face.

[turtle muncha]

oh lol nah i ment how much was it gonna cost ya to build it lol cause u sed ude get it proffetionaly made
thats all
i think its awsome idea

[MaCa]

yeah man i think that that is a great idea.... i always wanna listen to music when I'm riding but its the whole part about the cords and shit so i normally just say stuff it!!!!! but with it inbuilt you would not need to worry about that

also would the mp3 player be like speakers in the side of the helmet(now that would be sick having a mini sub in the back of Ur helmet, it would feel like the music is inside of u! lol) or would it be like just normal headphones??

Oh yeah sweet idea

[Shaun]

haha i was thinking of doing that for d&t aswell, just put headphones in and ypu can plug them in to a discman or mp3.

[Dim]

i am putting little speakers into the helmet...altogether it should cost me around 400-500 using my helmet

[Wattsy]

hey man, I'm also doing a helmet cam for my y12 project, seems to be the choice of project. good luck with yours.

[MrPlow]

You should have patented that Idea mate. (before I do)

[THRILLHOUSE]

that sound sweet. u could shoot sum pretty cool movies with that! giv a completely different look.. just as long as its well protected and tuff then ur definately not wastin ur time!

I dont understand why people do these things for their DT project. Im not critisizing you or anything but just bear with me.

Isnt the whole idea to design and innovate. I fail to see how making a mp3 player/helmet cam/helmet is doing that? Think of the practicality of the situation. People struggle to afford bike parts as it is. Now when you have a 500 mp3 + 500 camera + helmet = a part not many people can afford? Isnt the idea to try and solve a problem?

maybe the idea is to modify something that will fit onto a helmet (which everyone should already have) so an existing mp3 player can be plugged in...im sure people out there like naz would appreciate the idea ! if its just a mounting system..its not like people are gunna go out and buy a brand new mp3 player or video camera for just this reason.

True... I just thought of that after i posted.... My bad. So like headphone in the helmet with an audio input in the back somewhere, same with the camera. I get it now!

Im the US, Gyro helmets have one for skiing/boarding, full face with inbulit speakers in the earpads and a cord that runs down so u can plug into ur iPod/mp3....so theres not really any hope to patent the idea although i like the camera

[hairy]

that is the best idea defiantly not a waste of time mate. i want one so bad good idea mate.

[mtngoat]

have you seen Oakley's sunnies with built in headphones that flip up out of the way

[Dim]

no i havnt...sounds good though

[SB]

music via headphones is ment to mess with your balance. I go for the bleeding ears db's on the way up in the ute and chain noise on the way back down. Thats just my choice thou.
