Heads-Up on a new Wearable Camcorder

If you are going on the piste this winter or you are into mountain biking, skateboarding or off-roading then here’s a neat little widget available soon that might interest you. It’s called Vholdr and it’s a self contained, wearable, armoured, camcorder measuring just 95 x 53 x 34mm and weighing only 136 grams and it works in snow, rain, mud and just about anything else you care to chuck at it.

It records audio and video (640 x 480) onto SD memory cards (50 minutes per gigabyte), and the lithium polymer battery lasts around 2 hours. A variety of mounting brackets are available, for helmets, goggles, handlebars, even roll bars, and it is designed to make it easy to upload and share your videos to sites like YouTube. No UK price as yet but we’ve heard rumours of a $350 price tag when it goes on sale in the US in a few weeks time.
