Well done, marketing! It seems like skateboarding popularized first person fisheye video of extreme sports, but seriously, this is crazy! Skiing down a mountain, racing an avalanche, and then jumping off a cliff? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwbP9WLX3fY I need some Red Bull to calm me down.
Nothing like a fisheye view of a hectic bicyclist riding through the streets of San Francisco (I did get called an asshole today by a pedestrian -- what?!). Heck, this would probably make meetings in a conference room look pretty exciting! I kind of love these helmet cams though. They provide a unique perspective of various outdoor activities.

Because you will be disappointed if you don't! I only viewed the first few videos on my PC laptop and let's just say I was satisfied. I decided to try the HD TV cables and it was amazing. The color richness, the complete sound, everything was stepped up another level or 5!! Try the HD TV cables it really does make this camera look even better
They recommend you use at least a class 4 memory card however I have found that it works with a class 2. What is more important is how your computer can handle the video. When I first started viewing the video on my laptop the video was choppy when I used the QuickTime Viewer. However, when I changed the open with settings to use Windows Media Player video was smooth and clean.
As far as I can find out, it has no image stabilizer. For most video camera this is disastrous, but since it has such a wide angle lens, it doesn't seem such a deal breaker.. Can anyone confirm this?
Plays smooth from my GoPro connected to the tv through component HD. So I know it isn't the SDHC class. Could it be that the ATI Radeon X1600 isn't capable to play HD video optimally? Anyone else have this problem?
Would that work or am I just wasting my time? I was planning to mount it on my helmet for snowboarding. I don't want to buy two or three just to *try* something.
