With DVD quality recording, shockproof, tank tough camera head and recording unit, the camera head can be attached almost anywhere to capture all the high speed action for work or play.

Custom Made For Motorsports

You need a wide angle lense to really capture the sense of speed of a car or motorcycle race. The V.I.O POV.1.5M MOTO has a 110° Wide Camera Head to take in the full scenery and put the viewer right "in the action". Regular digital cameras only have a maximum 60 to 75 degree angle of view. You won't believe how much of a difference this makes until you see it in action.

Hands Free Recording and Wireless Remote

You need your hands on the wheel or handlebar to wrangle difficult turns or unexpected wild bumps. You don't want to be adjusting your camera in the middle of the race. That's why the V.I.O. POV.1.5M MOTO handles the focus and white balance so you can concentrate on the race. A wireless remote is include so you turn the camera on or off from your wrist or any attached gear.

Shoot Forever with the Included V.I.O POV Power Hatch Kit

The best videographers take tons of footage so they don't miss a single magical moment. With Support for up to 8GB SDHC memory cards, the POV.1.5M can shoot up to 6 hours of DVD video at a time! With the power adapters you are only limited by the size of your SD card.

Stable Modular Mounting

You need a strong reliable system stable enough to handle all the tough action you toss at it.

The POV.1.5's innovative new "star mounting" system is totally unique in the pov cam industry. The special shape is flexible enough to fit onto any surface. Six powerful magnets are provided where three fit into each arm of the star mount; this creates a firm stable mount for securing to any metalic surface and keeps the wind resistance of the pov cam to a minimum. This system is extremely strong and the POV.1.5 cam will never slip off.

Additional adhesive pads and numerous extra mounting components included with the POV.1.5 package make mounting the camera to anything extra easy!

PC and Mac Compatible

The POV.1.5 easily connects to PCs and Macs just like a digital camera - except the POV.1.5 delivers DVD quality video with a few simple clicks. Drag & drop right into your favorite video editors like iMovie, Movie Make, Adobe Premier, and more. Want to catch your crazy action videos at your friend's place, hotel or vacation spot before you get home? Just attach the included TV cable and hook it right up to the TV.

Very well built unit, great play back and the quality is amazing. I use it at work as a motor officer for my agency. I'm very happy with the results and would recommend this product to anyone. Very easy to manage video files and best of all, the price is very affordable when compared to other video systems on the market. Buy one you won't regret it. (Posted on 6/19/09)
