What it does: A small and lightweight camcorder designed for video and photo capture during extreme sports.
- Ease of use – Fairly simple to use with coloured LED’s to indicate what you are doing.
- Design – Sturdy. Well designed for heavy outdoor use.
First Impressions:
The camera is well built and designed for outdoor use with “weather resistant anti-corrosive casing” and a shock resistant design.
There is a panel on the camera half way down, with 4 LED’d and a REC/PAUSE button in the centre. There is also a hole where the microphone is as well.
On the base of the camera, there is a screw top that when removed revels the MicroSD card slot, Mini USB port and the on/off switch.
The camera also comes with several stands and grips to attach the camera to oneself or your bike or car. These include a bicycle helmet attachment, a bicycle frame bracket and a car mount.
Downloading the images is just the same as you would from a normal video camera or digital camera.
Still picture quality is good as is the video quality; however it is a little jerky due to a fairly low frame speed. There is also some wind noise, but nothing to get worked up about
