The Vio-Pov 1.5 Helmet Camera owes its existence to David Ollila from California who wanted a quality video camera to make video clips. He decided to make his own and, as a result, found himself with a potentially sale-able product on his hands. The VIO-POV 1.5 now seems to be a good helmet camera, as I am told by associates who have one.
This is, without doubt, an good product, as evidenced by the fact that prestige entertainment organisations and other professionals use it. Currently, the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement and Security Professionals all use VIO camera systems as well as industrial and commercial organisations.
Having said all this, I suppose that the majority of you reading this will be those taking part in action sports and will already be acquainted with the process of shooting your own exploits. Plus, you may possibly have questions about the practical design features of the VIO-POV 1.5 that justify the slightly higher cost.
'POV', means 'point of view', and this, in turn, means that the camera has been designed to be situated to give just about any viewpoint that you can envisage. It follows that there are a diverse number of places and vehicles that an enthusiast would wish to mount the VIO-POV Helmet Camera. A few of these are:
Virtually anyplace on any vehicle
Various places on a boat
Motorcycles, Dirtbikes etc.
Mountain Bikes
Helmets of any description
Any headgear including soft hats and caps
Sports Equipment
Clothing in general plus boots and belts
Guns and rifles
A good selection of the mounting aids that are commonly used come as standard.
A prime requirement of any top helmet camera is that it must withstand extreme bumps and shocks and keep out water, dust, snow etc. The POV 1.5 delivers on all of these requirements.
You can strap the wireless remote control on to your wrist or indeed anywhere that you want for one-handed operation. Your remote control also has an LCD preview screen so that you can see what you are videoing plus allowing you some creativity. Mount your camera facing to the rear and you can see where your race competitors are. Mount the camera in front of and facing you, about 18 to 24 inches away thus allowing you to view your facial reactions when performing your action sequences!
There are other reasons why you may wish to consider investing in the POV 1.5, which I list on HiDefHelmetCams, a website given over to reviews and discussion of Helmet Cameras only.
