ntrprnr 0 #1 January 9, 2007 Saw some guy last night at the Wall Street Journal party at the Wynn wearing this 2-gig video-wrist camera. Trying to get one to fly in the tunnel with it in a few hours. Will let you know. But it was VERY cool to play with last night. Of course, I was partially drunk, so maybe it wasn't as cool as I thought... But it still seemed pretty cool. The camera actually snaps down so it sits on the wrist - the photo shows him holding it up. He's patented it and everything. It seems really, really cool. I could imagine jumping with it. Put a wide-angle lens on it, land, drop the video right into your laptop... Cool stuff. I'll try and shoot some video with it in the tunnel - will let you know._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Lindercles 0 #2 January 9, 2007 It's an interesting idea, but wouldn't it pretty much lose it's appeal if you were doing anything but a tandem (which they already have wrist mounts for, btw)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so - the whole base unit swivels - so you can shoot outward, as well - it's not just about looking in at yourself. That's what got me._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #6 January 9, 2007 Yeah, but what I meant was, if you're doing anything other than just falling flat you're arms are going to be moving, making it nearly impossible to get anything consistently in frame. Even if it can swivel, you're not going to have the freedom (or time) to swivel it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #10 January 9, 2007 The only thing missing right now is the wireless. I've seen a couple of pretty cool setups with the remote lenses so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #11 January 9, 2007 I haven't seen a high-def bullet cam yet. I also haven't seen any solid state recorders for 'em besides the Samsung sports camcorder, but the image quality on that is.. bleh.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A mini-SD card can easily hold 7 minutes of 1080i video, and is way smaller than modern bullet-cams. Save the money and the extra battery and just save it directly on the camera.
