How to create a generic View for different Models?

What are Ways that I can create a first person view with a Camera?

• Lately I have been wanting to create a little series on youtube involving a kind of warfare theme, that being said, airsoft guns and such are involved. There are points in the series (when I get to making it) that will have a first person view, I.E. Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. First person shooter kind of thing. I'm having a little bit of difficulty thinking of ways that I can hold a camera in front of my face and create the first person look while still having both of my hands free. Do Note: I don't have fancy stuff, just a regular flip-camera and crap around my house. I understand that one way I could attempt a first person view is to put a helmet on (a football helmet would work) and tape the camera to the front of the helmet. That's one way that seems fairly simple and functional. That's only one way I can think of creating a first person view. Though it seems to definitely work, I was wondering if there are other ways that I can do this type of thing without having to pay for anything past the cost of $20, as I'm not very wealthy. Please let me know if there are other ways to create a first person view that work. Thanks!

• Answer:

  the best thing to do would be to get a helmet. Then, with some heavy duty bolts and washers from the hardware store, you should be able to create a mount freddiew, a great youtuber that does lots of first person stuff uses a helmet rig at times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yEYe5X8lLc&feature=g-all-u go to 1:30 and he will explain what he did you don't need a tripod head, any 1/4'' screw will fit the flip camera and it should be stable enough
