If the link breaks its sharper image's SKU OQ080 (the first o is the letter o the second 2 are ZEROs)

640x480 resolution, 30 frames per second, runs on AA batteries and stores onto a SD card and its waterproof! for $130? if it can hold up to motorcycle speeds it'd be pretty kickass... anyone wanna try it?

I bought one last year before my trip up to Arkansas. The quality of the video was ok. The problem is with no LCD display you have no idea what you are recording. I shot tons of video and i got nothing but trees and the skyline.

I read about this in one of the hotrod magazines...

twenty20camera.com (http://www.vholdr.com/shoot.php)

Seems like roughly the same features, with the exception of laser framing to reference what the camera sees. Much more expensive though at $350.

The guy filming will probably be next. Only his wreck will be head on into a car.

What part about, "a busy road is not a racetrack" don't people understand. Passing on blind corners is suicide.

Suckiest thing on that vid was the music.Bable12

Did they mention where that was taken? I think I know that road. SoCal in the Angeles Mountains. If so, there are even better roads around!

LOL I didn't notice the music must have had the speakers off when I watched it (which was probably the case)... and I believe they are from SO CAL so thats a good possibility...
