I was looking through old hard drives the other day and came across these classic photos I took of Pro Surfer Jamie O’Brien testing out one of the first POV action cameras.

It was basically a lens stick with a wire that connected to the main camera that you wore in a waterproof pack.

It’s amazing how far companies like GoPro have come and how compact they have been able to make these new action cams.
