Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Received this camera as a gift. Idea was to mount it to my ski helmet and be able to easily shoot video while skiing, without removing my gloves. What a failure. Several reasons:
1. The mounting accessories are flimsy and not very well thought through. You'd expect a helmet camera would be able to mount on a *round* surface (which helmet isn't round?). This thing is impossible to mount so that it points into roughly the right direction.
2. The buttons for video and still images are too close to each other. Once again, since you don't actually see the camera while you use it (remember, it's mounted to your helmet), it's easy to get the wrong button. There's no clear audible indication which one of the buttons you pressed.
3. There is no way to turn off the display while the camera is on stand by (i.e. ready to take video). As a consequence, it runs through the two AA batteries in less than half an hour -- without ever shooting any video. This is even worse because it's close to impossible to use the on/off button, even with gloves off. It's tiny, and needs to be pressed very hard (ideally, with a pen, etc).
Overall, I wish I hadn't gotten this. I feel bad my brother spent this much money on such a piece of useless technology.
