PocketCam Looks to Certify Their Football Helmet Camera Unit with Funding Assistance from Crowdfunding Community
With this crowdfunding project, the company's goal is to certify its face mask camera-unit with the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE). They would like PocketCam to meet all the required safety standards.
Online, September 2, 2013 (Newswire.com) - PocketCam is a high definition camera system that is uniquely designed to place one right in the middle of the field. Fully integrated and fabricated into the face mask portion of the helmet, PocketCam will unobtrusively allow one to easily fasten and remove the entire camera-unit as seen fit. This design safely allows for continuous performance by an athlete while presenting sports fans and television viewers the "ultimate" camera angle.

The company sees this project and safety certification as a first step towards reaching its ultimate goal - a second screen application for tablets and smartphones. Imagine the day a television viewer could, from the comfort of their own couch, select a player wearing PocketCam and access that player point-of-view on their iPad. The future app would sync up with live sports television broadcasts, and would allow viewers to take the field with their favorite team.
This football helmet camera will be totally enclosed within the face mask portion of the helmet, and the entire unit can easily be unfastened and removed as seen fit (e.g., at halftime, one could take a unit off and put a new unit back on). This allows the battery unit and other components to be much smaller.
No football helmet camera should ever make its way onto the field unless it is approved the governing body of NOCSAE. Anyone can just put a camera-unit on a football helmet for the practice field. Pocket Cam wants to take it to the next level, and it all starts with safety.
