FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this in my bedroom to record some extreme indoor sports?
Yes you may. You will need to leave the lights in the bedroom since this camera does not have a IR function.
Does the camera film in color or black and white?
The helmet camera records in color.
Does it record sound too?
The helmet camera has a built-in microphone however this has a limited range.
When I play recorded footage on my PC or laptop, I can hear myself and the surrounding with noise... is there a way to lose that noise?
It's not really possible to lose the background noise because the microphone is always active. We think it's important to capture all the action, including the noise!

It is small like a small flashlight, it has a sturdy aluminium casing, it is easy to operate. it takes 8Gb cards, writes files of 2Gb (max) but continues automatically with a new file once it exceeds this 2Gb limitation (well done).
Good 640x480 quality, sharp image. It has an infrared filter built in (usually with these kinds of ccd's, but still worth mentioning). I tested amount of time it can record and got nearly 2 hours of continued filming. For this price (plus all the mounting accesoires you get) this is a brilliant product!

First some statistics: the camera records 640x480 @ 25FPS in MJPG, sound is mono 64kbps 8kHz in PCM. My 4GB microSD card was able to store 102 minutes of video, automatically splitting the video in two files after the first one grew to 2GB. The power consumption is 120 to 180mA/H according to the manual with a battery rated at 490mAH.

I used this camera last week while snowboarding in Risoul (France) and I was pleased with the image quality. Colors are ok and not washed out, sharpness is decent enough as well. As expected the sound is useless when boarding, but when you are standing still you can hear what people are saying directly around you well enough. The lens angle seems to be standard, a bit wider would have been welcome for a camera that is designed for (extreme) sports. Build quality is good: neither cold, snowstorms or falling hard unfazed the camera.

The helmet strap was barely large enough to fit around my head, let alone on a snowboarding helmet, so we ductaped the camera to the helmet. We usually made it through the day on a single charge while only recording during descents and turning the camera off completely (with the switch on the back) during lunch.

Another pleasant surprise are the decent drivers that allow the camera to be used as a webcam. The camera works great on Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit editions) and no unneeded software is installed.

All in all, this camera delivers pretty good quality for a low price. I'd only wish the lens had a bit wider angle and that the helmet strap was more useful.
