V.I.O helmet cam

Hey Chef Mike!

The larger sensor looks nice. I haven't seen one in person yet or seen the footage. Cameras that would probably need a cable running from the lens to another point on your body always make me a little nervous (hard to get rid of).

I played with one of these when they first came out (pre HD version) for military use. I don't have anything really positive to say about it, there are just quite a few drawbacks to it to even consider it and thats just from the military standpoint. No way would I even consider this for a skydiving environment when there are other alternatives that are more viable. The only thing I can say about it is that the HD version came out and the crappy video the original captured is better. Form factor wise it hasn't changed, it's still ungainly to use and a pain to manage the cable. It's either too long or too short I've found. Price is another limiting factor. I would suggest that you pass on this for skydiving and pretty much anything else unless you have a unique situation where it just so happens to work better than the commonly used systems like Go Pro, Contour,Drift.
