V.I.O. POV.1 Camera Package

V.I.O. POV.1 Camera Package

Rating for this product: 4 May 18, 2009

I have the POV 1.5 MOTO. First thing I noticed was the bad selection of mounts. The kit labeled "moto" should have alot more helmet options along with x/y adjustments. There is no need for a parallel tube mount unless I mount it to a rifle. There should be a TOOL-LESS quick release helmet mount similar to the c-clamp mount.

The POV should come standard with a lens guard.

I would like to see an optional fisheye lens available from VIO not third party.

I use the camera side mounted on my helmet with the recorder in a fanny pack. Riding offroad motorcycles I will fish the camera cable through my gear to keep from getting snagged on tree branches, etc. Since the camera is screwed to the helmet mount and the cable doesn't detatch from the camera head, I have to carry my helmet around when I take a break. On the 1.5, there should be a quick connector in the cable 6" or so from the camera head so you can remove your helmet easily.

I have had issues with "invalid clip" and the recorder not being able to read clips on the card, but my computer can play the clips.

The resolution is very good compared to other cameras. However, the saturation could be a little more intense.

The sound is top notch compared to other cams when you dial in the microphone levels. You will also want to muffle the mic from wind noise. I wrapped mine with a piece of cotton which seems to do pretty well.

Contrary to other posts, I found the battery life very good.

A tool-less redesign is needed for the I/O port cover. Thumbscrew?

The remote is very convienient, however there is no indicator on the remote telling you wether you are recording or not. Since you have to have the recorder in your hand to verify, might as well toss the remote.
