A Fun and Different Perspective

POV video capability to the masses. Can it be true?

Definitely and VIO does a great job implementing an overall easy to use system. Recording videos, module or remote-wise is a snap and it can be used in most any sports because of the MANY different mounting options to choose from. Durability is also a thumbs up as I took a few spills with this setup and it came out fine (look for a youtube.com video coming soon).

A few downsides though. When recording a video, the higher the speed of the activity, the higher quality of video needs to be taken. So, be sure to use an 8 GB SD card for those higher speed activities because those 1 GB cards only can go for about 18 min of the highest quality footage.

Bring batteries as well. All 4 AA batteries didn't last a day and a half of low to medium quality videoing and editing. Having 8 rechargeable batteries with 4 on stand-by would work best.

Also, the editing program that comes with the setup is pretty bare-bones. If you want to add music or do any effects, import the movie files (avi format) to at least Windows Movie Maker.

Most of these downsides probably will be addressed in the future though and for a product line that is early in it's life, VIO excels thus far.
