The Solvid CamStrap Universal Head Camera mount turns almost any camera, camcorder, cell phone or action cam into a head camera as long as it has a 1/4 inch tripod thread and shoots video. If no tripod thread, most have a tripod adapter ( ie. action cams and Cell Phones). Using your own camera means the Solvid System is the most affordable head cam system, and depending on the camera, the highest video quality. QUALITY -- The Solvid head cam mount is a Premium head strap alternative. The straps are made of high quality polyester material that will not stretch or deteriorate like elastic. Once its fitted correctly, the mount holds securely and comfortably even when adjusted loose. Elastic straps wear out quickly, stretch & require constant adjustment, allow extra camera movement, and are always constricting. Non-elastic materials will hold more weight, with more comfort for longer periods of time. The ball and socket mount allows cameras to be mounted in almost any position, including front and side of head. Many action cam users appreciate the option to mount their action cam on the side; this equals lower profile (camera sits lower than on forehead) and better angle for certain activities ( ie archery shooting). Highest Quality Footage -- Camcorders allow for footage quality that most action cameras can't compete with, many at a lower price. When coupled with a camcorder, the CamStrap takes advantage of standard functions such as zoom, image stabilization, high quality audio, etc. The Solvid CamStrap Head Cam Mount will support camera weights up to 1 lb comfortably, (includes most compact camcorders & action cams). While the weight can be felt, the CamStrap keeps it comfortable. For more information and reviews, check out the Solvid website.

Great concept that does not really work.
This does not balance well with a cell phone (galaxy note 8). Its a great concept but the straps do not comfortably secure the device from slipping off your head. With the ballhead, its entirely too heavy on 1 side. The strap holder in the back should be weighted.

Awesome steady hands free video capabilities
The video cam that I have had for about 4 years just took on a new use.Can't always find someone to run the camera for those moments that count ,so this really opened up some new doors.I'm a Left hand shooter so I had to order my solvid camera hat and strap to mount on the right-hand side of my head , they were great to deal with and sure didn't waste any time sending it to me either.The Panasonic camera I use is not very heavy and has great image stabilization ,so was a perfect match.Once you have it dialed in to point right where the action is ,which does take a little practice,but after watching the solvid YouTube video it all fell into place.The Hat that fits over the strap really holds the camera firm ,so it continues to point in the direction intended.Being a side mounted camera I am impressed how it stays on a level plane too.I have no problem recommending this well thought out product to anyone who likes capturing those moments handsfree.Watch for some videosNievenegro youtube

Dissapointed.
I was disappointed in this strap. I felt the camcorder was heavy and pulled my head to the side. It is difficult to get it aimed accurately, you will need lots of practice, trial and error. I did not use it on my elk hunt that I bought it for because of the bulkiness and awkwardness of carrying it around.

Strap is way too uncomfortable.
Ended up cutting the strap and then sewing the mount to a different hat. No matter how I tried to use this it was very uncomfortable. The hat is nice but the headband is terrible. But after cutting off the strap and just using the mounting bracket I was able to make a nice rig from it using a different hat and eliminating the headband altogether.

doesnt work on my 2lb sony handycam
doesn't work with my 2lb cam,, its probably good for light action cams,, my camcorder just pulls down to hard on side of head,, I adjusted straps everyway, I wanted to use it for my adventures - canoeing-hiking etc, I don't like the action cams as much as my sony handycam,

Not for larger size head
It says it was a universal hat but it did not fit well with my head. The gopro mount made the hat all warped out of place so i couldnt really use it.
