Highlight Reel

As a reward for landing a new job at new company I decided to take recreational pursuits to the next level and purchase an action cam. After doing my research I settled on the Activeon CX, which has a ton of great features and fit my budget nicely.

Of course, the first thing I plan to do with the new toy is mount it on my hockey helmet and shoot some in-game footage (720p running 60 frames per second). Not only will it be fun to watch, it should prove to be a valuable training tool.

Not to get too off topic, but I'm also looking forward to wearing it when I'm fishing since it's also waterproof. I'm sure I'll also find some creative uses when recording our sons, perhaps mounting it to bike handle bars?

Anyway, it's supposed to arrive in time for me to get it setup/mounted to the helmet before my next JMS game on Friday night. I'm guessing it will take a few sessions to hone my video recording chops, but I'll plan to start uploading the "footy" asap.
