Check out our round up of the very best helmet cams on the market to get you out there filming yourself and others on the ski slopes

You know how frustrating it is, you’ve taken on a challenging run and completed it in glorious style but there’s no one there to see it! With the new generation of helmet cams you need never suffer again, simply film your triumphs and play them back later in the comfort of your catered ski chalet to silence critics who dare doubt your brilliance.

GoPro Hero 2

The grand-daddy of helmet cams, the GoPro is the camera most skiers consider when they want to capture all the action on the slopes so it’s good news that the GoPro Hero 2 has had a serious update. This new version includes an external microphone input so that you can now not only film your friends skiing but hear them too. Weather conditions are rarely consistent in the mountains so the GoPro’s spot metering option helps to readjust the exposure when you’re moving from light to dark. And this new model also shoots at 120 frames per second in standard definition allowing you to capture even the fastest skiers easily.

Contour+2

This handy, easy to use helmet cam is very flexible with a video and stills option, a lens that rotates 270?and a 170?wide-angle lens to ensure you capture all the action on the slopes. But the real plus for this camera is its connectivity with GPS Video Mapping and a handy smart phone app so that you can use your phone as the viewfinder and remote control. It even offers live streaming so you can send images back to your friends resting back in your catered ski chalet while you’re out conquering the pistes. If that isn’t enough to tempt you, the Contour+2 also comes with its own waterproof case included.

Epic Carbine HD

This lightweight HD helmet cam offers a variety of functions making it the perfect choice for those wanting a basic camera for capturing fun films on the piste. The Epic Carbine includes 1-9 still image action sequence, adjustable still image, 168?diagonal view angle, 10/30 second self timer and a carbon fibre finish with Nano water repellent coating. It also comes with a variety of mounting options including elbow, adhesive and strap mounts so that you can attach it to almost anything while you’re skiing.

JVC Adixxion

With its built in LCD viewfinder, easy to use controls and digital zoom this camera is a great option if you’re interested in making instructional videos or want to have more control over your filming of other skiers in your group. The built in image stabiliser will help prevent camera shake on your finished film, as will the two built-in threaded tripod mounts leaving you with a professional looking finish.

Whether you just want to have a little fun making films on the piste to share with your friends over dinner that night in your catered ski chalet or you want to create something a little more professional to upload and help others learn, a helmet cam is a great way of capturing hands-free footage of your time on the slopes.
