Army user

 

This review is mostly for soldiers, I'm INF doing PSD in AFG, a lot of mount up > dismount > mount up kind of stuff. Dont buy the ARC rail and adapter for $100+, if you have a surefire helmet light, which if your not a fobbit gets issued (fobbits...

Love the camera

 

It is exactly what a Helmet cam should be. Great video quality, durable, and easy to use. Probably my favorite thing about it is how compact it is. I have seen the GoPro camera on a helmet and it is an eye sore. Especially if you are mountain biking...

Weak Glue

 

This is a great camera. Or it was, I should say. Although a great idea for a ski helmet, the glue is not strong enough. We used it on a cold day (5-10 degrees) and the glue pealed off the helmet, along with the base and the camera. Unfortunately, the...
