Just saw the video.... from the year 2095!! Great deal! Time travel is possible! Sweat shirts still look ugly in the future.

sweet 720p Faux-kleys!!

You know what these would be great for? Recording all the mishaps and misbehavior of drivers while riding your bike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-IMaegzQ Perhaps could also be used in legal action if a car hits you.

I imagine there are plenty of home made POV movies made with these. If you catch my drift. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.

You were all thinking it.

Love the youtube!!!

[quote postid="5185349" usth ="nancybrown72"]How much memory does it have?[/quote]

It says it holds up to 32 gb micro sd card.

Soooo from what I've gathered:
-It DOES have a mic
-It DOES have expandable memory

But
-Does it come with the MP3 feature plus earbuds?

The problem with these chinese made items is that a lot of companies there copy each other's knockoff designs and mass produce them, so to tell one brand from another or even compare quality of the items is almost impossible (I.E. the spec sheet seen right here).

I guess if it's on woot it might be one of the better ones, but who knows, they all look the same. :-/

Nice! A cheap alternative to the Google glass...

susanrm wrote:I've looked around for the answer to that question. I think this is the same camera. It says it's OS X compatible. My guess is yes. However, I haven't been able to find any reviews.

confused15 wrote:So I'm guessing that they are waterproof? If not why would they have a rubber cover on the USB port, anyone?

Not waterproof but definitely water resistant.

joreyaesh wrote:It's a camera that shoots in AVI... I'm going to guess that it does work.

Don't quote me on that though.

From the POV guy Mike - Yes it records to an AVI file folder to the onboard memory, that can be downloaded to your computer and then edited with most editing software. Each time you turn it on and off it creates a new folder. :-)

GluonConcerto wrote:Anyone know how wide the field of view is?

From POV Mike - Field of view is 70 degrees, not quite the fisheye lens that most action cameras that have a wider field of vision. Good for most applications. :-)

lstaff wrote:Anyone else think that Maxwell Smart would be proud????!!!!


I love this product, but have no real use for it. Doesn't mean i'm not considering buying it, however . . .

From POV Mike - Biking, Sailing, Skiing, Roller Coastering (is that a sport?), skateboarding (with croakies), frisbee golf, bowling (indoors?), playing tennis, golf definitely, flag football, drinking beer with the guys (oops), watching the kids baseball game, and lots of other stuff I can't mention here. :-)

From POV Mike - Really works better outdoors!!!!!!!!!!! But I guess that works too!!!!!!!!!!

Woooosh wrote:sound?

From POV Mike - Yes records sound with a built in condenser mic. :-)

GluonConcerto wrote:Anyone know how wide the field of view is?

70degrees

GluonConcerto wrote:If susanrm is correct, the answer is yes. And that link also answers my question: 72-degree field of view (the gopro is 170 degrees for comparison)

Yes 72 degree and it does sound. This GoPro 170 degree is pretty fisheye for my taste.

JobyOne wrote:Not even water resistant? Weak.

From POV Mike - Definitely water resistant, hence the cover on the USB port. Just dont take them snorkeling.

msctchsprts wrote:Does anyone know if it records audio? I'm guessing, if it does, that this model may not record stereo??

From POV MIke - Yes it has a built in mic for sound, not stereo.

XaqFixx wrote:Anyone able to find a link to video actually shot on one of these under various conditions?

From POV Mike - You tube has several videos shot with this manufacturer's glasses. They are listed under BDS and POV brands.

Do you know if it's possible to use these in "webcam" mode, to get a live feed over USB?

Do these have time and date stamp?

justisp wrote:Do you know if it's possible to use these in "webcam" mode, to get a live feed over USB?

Yes when you plug these in they can work as webcam. Any capture program will allow to select them as input device.

copkars wrote:Do these have time and date stamp?

No I did not see any way of getting a date stamp during recording.

so there are no still shots, I'm just confused because the specs say it does do still shots...

Say no more!

If you want to use these for recording a video for things like car accident or others you would need a date and time stamp

Bear in mind, the audio recording feature is really a liability. If it cannot be disabled wearing these in any state with laws like Massachusetts would constitute an illegal wiretap (the law is overly broad and routinely [ab]used) unless you had signs all over you informing others you were recording and also announced it regularly ... and even then you might be in trouble.

very true! in our police cruisers we are not allowed to add audio.

Woot. Where's the field test on these?

Thinking about getting this for motorcycle blogging but not sure how the thick section on the sides will feel like against my temples and my helmet padding.

they came today, FAST! shipping. they do have a time and date but when connected to computer won't set some "updatetime.exe" can't get that to work picture quality is great! anyone know how to do the time reset ???

Hoping that someone here in the forum knows, but you may want to contact the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
