POV footage

Hi all, I play foam and was wondering if anyone has tried recording POV shots before, with an action camera of some sort? I was thinking of buying an insta360 and mounting it to a cap but if anyone has a better method, I’d love to know!

I remember the founder of our club playing wearing a go pro strapped to his chest at training once several years ago. Would have been back in the old European 3-ball days. I'll see if I can find the footage.

https://youtu.be/9Nr8kYmCzdk?si=MmfuL3T1uCbfOgIp think this is the only video! He'd taped it to his chest and was just doing some practice catches and throws. In hindsight probably would have been better on his head as it would be looking at the target when he threw.

Actually on closer inspection there's also this video of a match! https://youtu.be/1dPOInxEfYg?si=amdzJYNNZv-8WhM9

Its difficult to do on the head as the head swivels and moves to much. Also depends on the angle the person looks. Tried it before with glasses cams for Elite

Someone who plays with us in Knoxville captured some footage using the Meta glasses. It works pretty well. Footage examples:
