Lipstick cameras, also known as bullet cameras, are tiny video cameras you can place just about anywhere. Their size makes them excellent for shooting video from the perspective of a person, and they are often attached to the helmets of bike riders. Installing an inexpensive lipstick camera to a bike helmet can be done within a very short amount of time, and will provide viewers with a "first-person perspective" point of view that is rarely seen.
Instructions
1. Make a small hole at the top front of the bicycle helmet with the portable electric drill. Pull one end of the composite video cable up through the hole in the bicycle helmet.
2. Plug the end of the composite video cable into the lipstick camera. Apply bonding glue around the hole. Press the lipstick camera against the bonding glue with the lens aimed forward. Release the lipstick camera once the glue has set. Let the glue dry.
3. Glue a fuzzy Velcro pad at each of the four corners inside of the plastic food container with the bonding glue. Let the glue dry.
