New HD CMOS handle bar/helmet mounted video camera

ricoh

I met with Tasco for the first time since Christmas when they helped us out for the Gulf2Gulf. I was showed a sneak preview of a new CMOS HD video camera aimed at the mountain bike market. I saw a demo version, it wasn’t even on display to trades people so I was very lucky to see one. It’s sooooo slick and I can’t wait to test it. It mounts on to the handle bars and weighs next to nothing and is about the size of an iPod classic.

I hope to get my hands on one for testing in the next few weeks – I’ll see if I can get a review out very soon!

    Hey mate – I’d be interested to hear how this goes, I’ve been investigating bike/helmet mounted cams – does it come with a helmet mount as well?

    Hi mate, yeah the one i saw comes with a helmet and handle bar mount too, the thing I can’t believe is it’s price – it’s insanely cheap. I just wrote to the distributors to ask some further questions and I’ll let you know the specs when I hear back.

    Intersting to see how it compares to the new HD Helmet Hero camera from GoPro. It shoots at a full 1080P and will retail for $439. Available late October.

    Hi Mark, yeah it will be interesting to see. We are still waiting for them to come in but I’ll post as soon as I can. I looked at the HD Hero, very nice and has quite a following these days.
