Using my cell phone produces quite good pictures, but its a hassle to take it out of my jersey, unlock it and then take a photo. It involves me stopping way too much.
I was leaning towards a head mounted camera which you can just press a button and hopefully the picture will be good enough quality.
Any comments if my approach of a head mounted camera is the best? How do you take photos? Any suggestions for good head mounted cameras for snapping lots of photos.
A voice activated gopro or similar. Just don't mount it on your head if you use it for video unless you want to give your viewers vertigo.
A chest mount is inexpensive, makes a perfect vantage platform, and is easily accessible whether by hand or voice activated. I actually had my chest mount for 3 years (used it once when I first bought it) before I figured out how great it was at taking video.
I don't personally use my gopro that much for stills though, I have other cameras I prefer to use for that.
