Coxing Q&A

Question of the Day

Have you ever used a head-mounted camera to film an outing or a race? Any recommendations? I’m thinking of getting a DogCam Bullet HD for Christmas, I’m likely to be coxing both Tideway heads next year plus other internal racing, thinking it would be a fun thing to have.

I personally haven’t used them but two coxswains I coached this past spring used cameras to record their races and it worked out great. One used a Go-Pro with the head strap mount and the other used sunglasses that had a camera and microphone built in, similar to these. The video quality of both was very good, as was the sound. I don’t know too much about what’s out there because I’ve never really researched it, but I’ve always heard really great things about Go-Pros. I definitely think it’d be a helpful tool to have (not only for yourself but for your coaches and rowers too) so if you can get one, go for it!
