They are <br />approximately 2" x 3.25" x 0.75", clipped to the shirtiblouse, and are activated by a button on the <br />front of the camera. A disadvantage of this camera style is that when mounted mid -chest on the <br />officer, it does not automatically move in the same direction with the officer's head. In addition, <br />the camera tends to be directly behind an officer's standard two-handed pistol grip stance, thus <br />somewhat restricting the camera's view when confronting a suspect. However, this system is <br />generally less expensive. <br />Both the Hillsborough and Belmont Police Departments have deployed a camera—the Taser <br />Axon Flex— that is mountable on an officer's shoulder epaulette, collar, glasses, or helmet (see <br />Figure 1). This camera, including its integrated storage module, is slightly larger than one AA <br />battery and attached to its battery pack by a thin cable. It is also one of the more expensive <br />cameras currently in use but it allows considerable mounting flexibility. <br />Figure 1.
