]]> Comment on Epic Action Cam Captures Rugged Footage by Justin Winter http://www.skiing-blog.com/2008/07/13/epic-action-cam-captures-rugged-footage/#comment-383 Justin Winter Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:32:12 +0000 http://www.skiing-blog.com/2008/07/13/epic-action-cam-captures-rugged-footage/#comment-383 I got to mess around with this camera a bit and although the size and concept are great, I think there could definitely be a few improvements. First, the velcro straps that come with the camera seem to be the wrong size for pretty much every application. I think they should send their bar mount system with the camera. The waterproof case is great, expect that the plastic mount totally cracked when trying to crank down on the strap to secure the camera to my bike seat as their website details. The video quality is kinda poor, but depending on your application it would probably be fine. The menu system is kind of a pain to navigate and unless you have the pdf instructions printed out, forget about trying to figure out the different settings. I think it would be extremely helpful if the camera gave some sort of audible signal when the recording stops as well. From what I recall, you have to visually check to make sure the recording is still working. This isn't ideal considering the camera is strapped to your helmet or your bike. Oh, and probably the biggest gripe I have with the camera is the website branding right across the video. No joke... That's gotta go.

It was disheartening to think that one of the last "local" and affordable golf courses in the area was closing because it was a losing venture. Now folks other than the uber-wealthy can enjoy golfing in Truckee again. That is awesome news!
