V.I.O. POV.1 - Helmet Cameras for a Better Point of View

As we blaze trails across desert sands and through pristine forests, today us Mountain Biker folk seek ways to share our riding experiences with others. New technology has made camera technology feasible and affordable for many MTBer’s who seek a way to record the experience. Now V.I.O. takes the next step forward with the POV 1. The POV 1 offers DVD-quality recording (720 x 480 at 30 fps) with a wide angle lens which gives a better picture of the trail and more realistic video. The entire system is waterproof, dustproof and shock resistant to stand up to trail and rider abuse. The camera mount isolates shocks to make for a smoother video and included is a wireless control for easy recording. Editing software (MAC and PC compatible) is also part of the package and it is designed in such a way that even the technically challenged can easily figure it out.

There are a variety of resolutions, frame rates, and modes you can record in, depending on the desired result. The recording module has a built-in LCD screen for on-the-spot editing which allows you to delete the fluff and save your SD card space for the video you want to keep. At six hundred and eighty bucks you get what you pay for. You might have to push back that next bike purchase, but the POV 1 system has all of the durability, features and capabilities that even the most avid mountain bikers could dream of.

Below are some videos of the V.I.O. in action.
