Antimedia present's the "Owl Cam"

INTRODUCING THE OWL CAM from ANTIMEDIA on Vimeo.

Norwegian Film company presents the owl cam. Basically, a brushless gimbal mounted on a helmet.

Iam wondering if such a system could withstand the shocks of a skier jumping and going full speed (impacts + wind) in order to be used as a POV camera.

I'm a big fan of this kind of ideas, but I still believe there must be a better solution to stabilize footage other than a bulky gimbal.

Maybe a system like this could be the answer?

Imagine a miniaturized version of these mirrors that you could plug in front of any camera. adding automatic subject tracking instead of remote controlled

His demo cleverly only shows skiing & skating. Let's see someone try this bit of brushless gimbaling:

I dream of a golf ball sized ptz camera with digital stabilization -can't be too hard these days
It should be much easier to move an image electronically rather than a mehanical device.

System might withstand the shocks but neck may not :). Not a great idea when setup is bulky and mounted on human neck on such a bumpy ride..
