Brian, Why are helmet camera's not used more? Often times when you are investigating you will see something that the camera man doesn't have time to react to and catch? I feel so much is missed waiting for the cameraman to spin around and catch what you have already seen first hand.

Oh my gosh, I had this same thought! Reaction time is sometimes way too slow, whereas a helmet cam would catch whatever the investigator looks at. Great question, vstar!

nikkimckz, Ghost Adventures tried the helmet camera once on their show (Friday's Travel Channel). Although there was more than usual camera movement, it was so great to see first hand what they were looking at. Often times it is frustrating because the investigator will see a full bodied apparition and it could have been caught by the camera. I realize that the camera does not always pick up shadows or images such as this but hey at least try right? lol

Great question. Like the time Jason and Grant were in Tombstone and saw that full body apparition run down the stairs. If only they would have had helmet cams on! Would have been incredible.

A big problem with helmet cams is the fact that you have to wear a helmet. (or some sort of headwear to attach them to) There are other ways of getting the first person POV that a helmet cam provides, but they can be extremely cost prohibitive. Unless and until we get the kind of sponsorship that some groups with TV shows have, we will probably have to stay with the standard camera man. However, we do have Erika, who is the photographer of the team, and she will be coming along to photograph everything that she sees.
