Picture it: You’re on your horse, riding through a field. His body is rippling beneath you, and the wind is blowing across your face. You are free. What would you give to capture that, bottle it up, and bring it with you wherever you go? You need a helmet camera. No, you need the best helmet camera for horse riding to make that happen.

Figuring out the best helmet camera isn’t easy, but the best helmet camera for horse riding? That one was a simple task.

If you just look at all various types of wearable cameras you end up with a list of GoPro and various GoPro knock offs that are bulky, heavy, and get in the way of your style and protective gear.

That’s not good when riding a horse.

So, what is the best helmet camera for horse riding?

It’s simple. The Cambox is the best. Why is the cambox the best? Because the cambox (I really like that name, can you tell?) forms to your helmet, not the other way around.

Not only does it form around your visor, but because of that, it’s positioned near eye level, which provides you with video much closer to what you are used to while riding.

Being secured to the inside of your riding helmet is also extremely important, because at the heights that you might fall from, having an obstruction on top of your head could cause you to break your neck in a fall.

Does that mean GoPro sucks?

No, not at all. In fact, GoPro is a great company, and their chest mount is a great alternative to the Cambox. But if we’re comparing apples to apples to figure out what the best helmet camera for horse riding is, it has to be the Cambox, hands down.

If you can’t afford the Cambox, because it is a bit pricey, I would even suggest picking up the GoPro chest mount, and saving up to get your own Cambox down the road.
