Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by armyslowrdr   on March 14, 2010   Pros Light weight, pic quality is better than standard def. No need for a separate recording unit. Form factor is nice. Cons The mounting system I got an extremevu after-market system and all is well. Verdict This gets quality hi def footage--the best I know of in its class. Convert your footage to AVI with neoscene, edit, convert back to .mp4 and upload to vimeo or youtube. A marvelous item and the best of 5 helmet cam systems i have owned. reviewed by ridersriding   on January 21, 2010   Pros Great camera with an awesome picture. Ive mounted this on my helmet and its pretty much plug and play. The Hd color is amazing. Cons The software is awkward. Depending on how new your computer is. When I used it on my buddies new laptop it popped right up and was on the internet pretty quick. I have to play with the mounting options, helmet mount doesnt show any handlebar shots. Rocks and jumps look like small bumps. Verdict I love it. Lightweight, easy to use and I throw it in my camelback every ride. Picture is amazing. reviewed by trek7k   on August 16, 2009   Pros Small size, awesome video quality! Easy to start / stop and the laser alignment makes it a cinch to dial in the right angle for your shot. There's really no limit to where you can mount this camera and the wide angle lens minimizes the shakes while taking in all the action. Battery life is great and the indicator lights and sounds make it easy to tell when you're recording. Cons Transitions between light and dark conditions can lag at times. The sticky mount can be tough to attach to a helmet since helmets aren't flat. No way to preview videos on the trail but that's not a big deal since this camera seems to get great shots no matter where you mount it. Verdict I've tried other helmet cameras and this one blows all of them away. I found that the best way to use this camera is to mount it to my bike frame where I can turn it on and forget it. Dead simple and beautiful video. reviewed by JSurratt   on May 31, 2009   Pros Compact, Light & easy to use Cons microphone should have a windscreen to eliminate the wind noise.
