    This Waterproof Sports Helmet Digital Video Camera is very light. It has an 80degree viewing angle,

    It is self contained and is handsfree. It delivers full color digital video in 640 x 480 VGA at 30

    frames per second with clear voice recording from up to 12ft. Uses SD cards, so you are not limited to

    the built in memory like on other cameras. Just like with the batteries, this way you can cary as many

    SD cards as you want and replace them when you run out of memory. Why miss a moment on your

    awesome mountain adventure, just because your memory ran out?

    looks like those shit Oregon cameras that the batteries kept shaking loose and turning the power off...losing all your footage. Could be wrong but these look like them.

    Meh...you get what you pay for I guess. Tachyon XC cameras are by far the best value kit IMHO..but hey, I'm biased cause I sell em :-)

    Do explain (calling your bluff)
    here is my Oregon filming my fat ass swimming with dolphins - as you can see the movement was not exactly gentle.......never had a problem with batteries.

    Microphone on it is shit however. But I think I fucked mine a little parking the car on it.
    But a very durable bit of kit.

    your footage is gentle action actually Avgas...compared to this (see..not bluffing):





    Whenever you mount a camera on your body it acts like a shock absorber (even moreso in the water)...the true test is to mount it to a bike doing 250kph+ (crashing even) and still get crystal clear images...hell a mate of mine actually had his Tachyon XC mounted on the side of his Yamaha R6 and lowsided directly on top of it....he got the whole thing on camera! Mint footage.

    heres some more footage just for shits and giggles

    Ahhh, that's why they do it! I thought they were just going flat. Any way to jigger them up?

    Anyone seen the AIM HD camera, with the inbuilt datalogger and data overlays?

    righto...you go waste your hundy then bud....I for one have tried in excess of x4 different cameras before deciding that the Tachyon was best bang for buck...and if you get an Oregon, I'll say it now 'I told you so!'

    Cheaper is relevant and maybe I understand your point but there is "throwing your money away cheap too"....ask anyone who has owned a camera and they come back from a hard day out riding, all excited about watching the footage only to find they have none...about then you realize you need a better camera that doesn't fail...and start wishing you had learned from other peoples mistakes.

    Ive sold 3 already to mountian bikers and they are really happy with them, more to the point that can afford them and have footage to show their friends.

    all three said they couldnt justify the $300 + for a cam.

    I appreciate yours are better than these, but how about back off, worry about selling your own brand and let the people decide. They come with a 12 month warranty, and someone could smash up 3 of these for the price of yours!
