Record Your Ride with Pivothead

I after much research and debate I wanted to get a camera to record my riding, I looked at Go Pros, but I had big reservations about a) looking like a snork and b) more seriously, the impact of attaching a camera to your helmet in the event of a fall.

Other cameras then also need to attach to the side or your head not giving a true first person perspective

So finally after trawling the web I came across Pivothead sunglasses

The reviews were good and the videos better, so this is the route I went

I made the decision to purchase the Recon version of sunglasses due to the flexibility with the lenses, as they come with clear, yellow and polarized grey.

These work really well and I've shot some great footage, my only complaint with them is that the fit is really for men due to being quite broad, and plus with vanity in mind they aren't the most flattering.

Ahead of the 2014 World Championship I got in contact with Acuity Intelligence, the UK distributor of Pivotheads, and I am now proud to be sponsored with a pair of Aurora Pivotheads - these don't have the same flexibility with lenses as the Recons, but the wrap around model fits ladies much better and again with vanity in mind actually look very cool!

So all footage coming from Oman will be courtesy of my Aurora Pivotheads!
