Impact-resistant micro-camera for helmet

Abstract

A micro camera is configured for activity and sport use and for mounting to, or incorporation into, pre-existing sports helmets. The micro camera may be centrally mounted on a front portion of a helmet and/or on a cage or faceguard structure using interchangeable mounting options including screw-based attachment, slot-based attachment, and snap-based attachment. The micro camera includes impact-resistant construction and may include a polycarbonate lens covering. The micro camera incorporates processing and storage circuitry including one or more microchips comprising CPUs, GPUs, DRAM, NAND Flash, ASICs, and/or system-on-a-chip circuitry, and may include a microSD card interface. The micro camera supports continuous auto-focus, vibration or stability control, variable aperture and shutter settings including shutter priority mode, and remote operation via Wi-Fi and/or cloud upload for review and quick editing, including during real-time broadcast.
