I want to walk away from this project with a fully-working, low-profile POV camera that can be mounted directly on a hockey visor and withstand on-ice conditions. My main goal is to record gameplay for training, so image quality matters more than live streaming or fancy add-ons—I would rather have crisp, high-resolution footage than compromise on size or weight.
What I need from you:
1. Component selection
• Identify an off-the-shelf micro camera module (or action-cam board) that delivers reliable high-resolution video and handles the vibration, temperature swings, and occasional impact of a hockey rink.
• Recommend power and storage options that keep the unit self-contained—no dangling packs or bulky housings.
2. Mount & housing design
• Create a slim 3D-printable mount that integrates into, or looks “built into,” the visor edge. The mount must be removable without tools so I can swap visors or share helmets.
• Factor in anti-fog airflow, impact safety, and minimal extra weight on the visor.
3. Prototype build & test
• Print the housing (PLA, PETG, or another material you suggest for rink temperatures).
• Assemble the full system, wire and secure the electronics, and deliver a functioning prototype ready for ice-time testing.
• Short demo video or photos to confirm the unit operates and fits a standard CCM/Bauer visor before shipping.
Acceptance criteria
• 1080p60 (minimum) recorded footage with no obvious vibration artefacts.
• Camera plus mount adds no more than 40 g to the visor.
• Quick-release mechanism removes in under 10 seconds.
• All files supplied: 3D CAD, STL, wiring diagram, parts list with purchase links.
If you already have experience with GoPro-style board cameras, Raspberry Pi Zero + HQ Camera, or comparable modules, please mention it—I’m open to whichever route best balances size, quality, and cost.
