Liquid Image Scuba Mask Camera - Shoot High Res Underwater Videos While Diving

These two shots are just a taste of the new Liquid Image scuba mask camera. They make several models in different sizes to suit kids to adults. This is the model 310 which captures video at 720P (720 x 480) at up to 33 feet. The camera is mounted at the top of the mask right above the nose guard.

We are really looking forward to getting a sample in house to demo for everyone so keep an eye out for the videos soon.

VholdR Contour HD Camera - First Video

Check out this high res streaming video shot with the Vholdr Contour HD Camera. This is taken from the main VholdR.com site. The resolution looks good but unless you’re on a very fast connection the streaming is choppy and doesn’t really show how smooth the actual footage is. Check it out at vholdr.com.

Compare the VHoldr Contour HD against the competition

Here's a handy little product comparison guide to help in shopping for your next point of view camera. In my opinion the Vholdr Contour HD is a damn good deal. At just slightly more than the GoPro's you get full HD AND a 60 frames per second mode that's even higher rez than the Gopro's regular resolution. Unless you want full waterproof protection the Vholdr's our new favorite mid priced unit. The Vio Pov 1.5 will always hold the high end because of all the extras and LCD preview but the VholdR is a good solid all around performer that looks sexy to boot. Right now we're in preorder mode as nobody has inventory till May 15th, the same time we get stock in. We've taken $20 bucks off the price so if you preorder the Contour HD with us now you'll be one of the first kids on the block with the world's first high def pov cam.

 

VholdR Shocks The World With First High Def Helmet Cam-ContourHD

Vholdr has just announced the brand new Vholdr ContourHD camera.  We are very excited about this camera because it redefines the genre of point of view or as they are known POV cameras.  This is not the first POV camera announced in HD, as Sony announced their new Camera at NAB ’09 for the mind bending price of 2500US (Street), but is the first camera announced at the much more affordable 299US price point, which needless to say brings this into the hands of the average consumer. 

I wont get into an in depth review here, but the coles notes are these:  HD at 720p (1280x720), “Standard” Definition at 848x480 (they have gone wide screen format from the 4:3 of the old camera), H.264 encoding, which is awesome having had way to many cameras come out with possibly superior (arguable) but less prevalent codecs that require transcoding to use for popular video editing applications.  Other notables are a 30 mins per Gigabyte recording time, which on the maximum useable card of 16GB would mean whopping 8 hours or recording time.

The vholdr contour camera lens is now a wide angled 135 degree, whereas the older model has a 90 degree lens.  Wide angle field of view is much more useable in many sports and active situations so were happy to see that.

There is also a new “silent mode” which will allow you to keep the unit from beeping, which is great for those moments when you need total silence.

The new vholdr contourhd unit is water resistant as with the last model (not water proof folks, so don’t say I didn’t tell you) and has lost some fat to tip the scales at 4.1OZ(116g) from the old 4.8OZ(136g).  Exterior dimension remain the same and the handsome anodized body remains the same with the exception of some spiffy new graphics.

The new camera has been announced with the same flat mount as the original but also with a goggle mount included in the box.
