Benefits of technology

The invention is a visor with a camera mount that is connected to the upper portion of the visor. The camera mount protects the camera from damage or breakage. The visor can also include a left side and right side portion with the camera mount connected between them. This allows for the secure mounting of a camera on the visor in a safe and secure way.

Problems solved by technology

These cameras are typically mounted on top of a helmet to provide a television viewer with a view similar to what the athlete sees; however, because they are mounted on top of the helmet, they are subject to breakage.
Unfortunately, until recently, cameras were too big to carry on a team member, and filming from a distance did not provide the necessary views for proper feedback.
Today, the cameras have become smaller, but there is still the problem of carrying the camera in a place where it does not interfere with the team members' job.
Like the sports contained in the X-Games format, cameras on top of helmets provide television viewers with an up-close view of how a pit-crew operates, but those cameras can also cause problems by simply catching an air hose during a fast pit stop.
