I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything, so I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on a specific helmet cam/action cam for a short documentary film I'm planning to make?

One of the participants will be photographing using an old 1950s stills camera and I'm wanting to attach a small camera for cutaways - has anyone seen 'War Photographer' documentary featuring James Nachtwey? In that film they've rigged a tiny camera to his 35mm SLR to show what he is photographing.

As I'll be using a Speed Graphic type press camera the POV camera doesn't have to be so small, and I'd considered one of these -

GoPro Helmet Hero WIDE (http://www.actioncameras.co.uk/GoPro_Helmet_Hero_WIDE.html)

Hope this makes sense - any advice would be appreciated.

Matt
