VholdR Wearable Camcorder

The VholdR Wearable Camcorder [VholdR.com] is a slick piece of high-end outdoor video gear suited to outdoor sports and activities in all kinds of conditions. We’ve covered some other outdoor active lifestyle favorites – specifically the Coosh Headset and Handpresso Portable Espresso maker. With snowflakes falling and winter in full swing, ones thoughts inevitably turn to snowboarding and skiing – and how are you going to capture those sick moments and perfect runs on video? Popular mini camcorders like the Flip are fine for memories at the mall, but aren’t ruggedized or mounted in a way suitable to outdoor shooting.

While you are booking your flight and condo at Telluride, Vail or Breckenridge, take a moment and check out the VholdR wearable camcorder. The VholdR is small and would look at home on the mountains in any weather – ride bike or ski. It boasts some impressive features:

• 640×480 resolution at 30 fps
• rotating lens with laser sights for easy aiming & calibration – it rotates in its housing to capture a level shot even when you aren’t level
• rugged design with brushed aluminum and baked fiberglass housing
• single, easy to use record/pause switch (big enough to work while wearing a glove)
• USB 2.0 transfers to PC/Mac
• video editing & sharing software included
• helmet mount included
• 2 hours battery life
• MicroSD removable memory  (1GB MicroSD included!)

What’s especially impressive is the video & audio quality – check sick move below, and see more samples here [VholdR.com].
