Video Camera

I want to start filming my digs. Can anyone recommend a good hands free video camera? I'm thinking an over ear camera. Thanks. WW

Here's an idea

Thanks Mr T, that's a neat idea but I've never worn a hat.

I have a set of Pivotheads. I haven't used them much, but I would recommend a Gopro over them if you only had one choice. I have a set of Gopro Silver 3+ which are reported to do a little better job at close up shots versus the Gopro Black 3+.

I just use a cheaper model cam, Tachyon XC. They have been around for several years, in fact I was the first to do Metal detecting videos using a older model tachyon around 2007. Video quality is OK, far from the Go Pro but What I like about the Tachyon XC it goes for 8 hours on rechargeable AA's, so I just turn it on and go hunt, no turning on and off as you go... I dig a good target I just cup my hand over the lens to mark the find I want to edit out...also it is mounded with Velcro to the headphone cup so it captures the audio of the detector .. One thing I don't understand about many that do metal detecting video's, I love hearing what targets sound like.
