Cant shoot video while flying

I have nice little HP 330 that takes great videos, but I dont
have anybody to operate the camera while I fly.
I try to do both but have lousy results or crash.
I was thinking of mounting the camera on a helmet I can
wear with some sort of cable to the switch
Has anybody else done this?

Now you know what I go through every time I review a plane for RCU

You COULD strap a video camera to your head, but without being able to zoom, all you'd see is sky with a dot in it.

RE: Cant shoot video while flying

I'm in the same boat as Minnflyer is, trying to get video shot for reviews. Most of the time when it comes time to shoot video I will run the camera and get somebody else to fly the plane. IMHO it's easier to find somebody that can fly the plane than it is to find somebody that can shoot decent video!!
