looks like hackaday is running out of material… but the idiots love this, probably some little douchebag kids.

Any thoughts on the new Nikon Coolpix P90? The 24x optical zoom looks fun.

it may not be a “hack” and it may not be elegant… but damn i could use something like this right now! a head mounted pov shot on the fly, sans tripod.

perhaps one of these nay sayers can improve upon this idea and share it. i think it’s a very useful idea (which many of these diy hacks could use!)

rivetgeek…this angers you? really?

tj…I’m sure you’re the handsomest boy in Mom’s basement.

dan…Indeed. Finding solutions for problems is retarded.

roosta…I guess if it’s not illegal, it isn’t useful?

gosh…you sir, are a word smith!

acedotcom…you and gosh should write a sitcom.

Ok, to be fair, it looks incredibly stupid, but the pictures it produces are great.

I would imagine it saves time over endlessly adjusting a tripod. Also, being a cartoonist myself, I can imagine that this solution is within even my meager budget.

All in all, as a POV camera rig I give it an 8 out of 10, as evening wear…considerably less.

Guys, come on, it may not be a hack, but it is indeed an excellent idea:

1) The instructor can use two hands to hold stuff and take a pics at the same time, … I know tripod can do it too … but ..

2) The point-of-view (POV) is very important for some jobs. Unless you know what exactly the instructor is seeing, its hard to understand what he is pointing or referring to.
