Conclusion: Almost unusable battery life....


Review: Ok, this is a neat gizmo at an affordable price. Mine's been on the motorcycle... and into the ocean.. on different occasions. However, you're lucky to get a whole 45 minutes on a fresh set of batteries. I've tried many times to record my entire ride to work... which is about 35 minutes. Because it's on my helmet, I can't check to see that it's still recording... and I've missed out on some great footage because it's already died 10 minutes after I've left home.

Audio.. luckily I wasn't very interested in audio.. because it's virtually nonexistent.

Image quality... it's pretty mediocre, but that's to be expected from a product that's a couple years old now. They've come a long way since the release of the 2k.

Conclusion: weak plastic mounts very brittle


Review: the camera itself is excellent. video quality is great. the mounting swivel however is junk. very brittle plastic that breaks at the first hint of tightening. i expected as much & didn't have any hope that the manufacturer would replace it with anything other than another brittle plastic piece of junk so i super glued it pretty permanently in place @ my preferred angle.

great paintball gun-cam.

Conclusion: Destroys Your Mini SD Card - Hardware Issues


Review: The video quality is decent and acceptable for $100 unit. The sound quality is worthless.

However this review isn't about video or sound. Not many have posted on the technical aspect of importing video and this is the Camcorder's biggest flaw.

As a Macintosh user this camcorder is impossible to use once connected up properly, as it corrupts the Mini SD cards during data transfers.

So I tried it on a PC. It worked, but in the end the SD Card ended up getting corrupted. At first it shot my 2 GB card to 1 GB, then proceeded to completely destroy it.

I made a decent video with it, but can't keep up with the nasty habit it has of destroying expensive SD Cards. Not worth any price if you can't retrieve the data.

Conclusion: Great camera


Review: Love this. Great pictures easy to use and hook up to computer to transfer file. Even has built in Mic....would be nice to have a better way to hook to a helmet.
