Other helmet-cams, from the likes of GoPro and Oregon Scientific , appear to be they’d shatter within seconds of impact. V.I.O POV.HD is smashproof, waterproof, shockproof, dustproof…oh, and shoots 1080p footage of your complete wildest adventures.
With a six-element glass lens and 1080p sensor filming 142-degree views of slopes, waves or raucous toddlers, there’s also a separate device which stores video on a 32GB SDHC card, watchable on the 2-inch LCD. A wireless remote allows you to tag scenes while in action, which might be compiled into one big highlights video.
You’ll need 4x AA batteries to power it up, so better buy a battery charger because it’s pretty pricey at $600 (shipping in February.) [ V.I.O. via Werd ]
