The BlackEye head camera unit is essentially a pair of video camera goggles that you strap on so that you can make [hands free movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-osmo-nano). The video camera goggles are explicitly targeted towards [extreme sports enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-action-camera), who clearly don't have a free hand to capture their cool moves.

This gadget is a must have for your next Snowboarding or Mountain biking expedition. I know that I will be getting one as I am an avid snow boarder.
