viosport helmet cam hook up

What is that ginormous architectural abortion across the pond in front of the Best Western?

Progress, I guess

That is Hotel Terra #1. It will be a hotel and privately owned condos. Then they are starting on Terra #2. That is slated to be built across the pond from us and up on that hill next to Pepi's where they usually put that big hangar style function tent.

The village is a mess right now and It is only going to get worse...

Greets-

If anyone is interested, our full review went live a few weeks ago over at Helmet Camera Central. Raw video clips, frame grabs, usability, tons of insight and details. Overall the POV1 is a winner, but there are some usability issues and videophiles will have a few things to say.

I'm very stoked on this unit. Many helmet cam vendors are jealous (and worried), and for good reasons. Someone finally got it right.

Someone quoted $900 earlier... you can get these for less than $825 and with free shipping too. Even then, the price seems steep, but it's a fully integrated, dvd resolution system, that is fully waterproof out of the box (the whole thing, not just the cam). It comes with a 1 GB sd card, batteries, carrying case, and a camera mount. It has one battery system, one cable, wireless remote, tapeless, rugged. I'm telling ya, the hidden costs of typical helmet cam systems.... A complete analog system with all the bells & whistles that are included with the POV1 - will set you back at least $700 - and you'll end up with a cheap PVR (or camcorder), multiple batteries, wires galore, connectors that were not designed to be stuffed in backpacks, duct taped connections, and the list goes on.

For a complete piece of shit... Show me one GOOD helmetcam package for that price that has ANY usable value in the ski film industry.

I shot a little test footage with it. I ran into as many bad lighting places as i could and the sun was going down. Wanted to see how it handled that. The sound is pretty bad but that might be due to me cranking the level up and having the mic covered. Next time I'll try it with the sun overhead and see how it works out in good light. Also had it mounted on the handlebars so it's way shakier than it would be on the helm (wasn't wearing one..)

Sounds like you need new brake pads

Made good use of the POV1 this weekend at Laguna Seca. It worked extremely well!

Where do I buy an external mic for the POV1 and does it have a wireless capability or does it have to be fixed into the bottom of the unit?

All that site did is remind me how silly white wate rafting really is, It's a friggin family sport. They should call it white water laughing

I am running the POV1 as an in car video setup with it mounted on the dashboard area facing the roadway. The problem is the reflection from the dashboard is showing up in the footage.

Is there anyone out there running some sort of swivel mount or a different type of mount from the top portion of the windscreen facing the roadway so as not to get any reflection in the footage from the dashboard?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Not being biased with the content, but
I would have to say the POV-1 unit really
captured the recent runs posed at Alta.
Even with the shitty transposition from youtube.
