Default Waterproof Video camera under $150

My son PM'd me with a link to this site, yesterday...

http://www2.oregonscientific.com/

Regarding the Waterproof camera shown - today anyhow - on the lower left side of the page, mounted on a helmet.

Smaller resolution, but probably a good piece of equipment.

What always surprises me with these great deals is how there's no demo video. If I were trying to sell one I'd have a sample video up.

Till I see what comes out of it I cannot comment, but yes, it's cheap.

I emailed them about the link.

I found it last in the page source and added it to the end of their URL. Fortunately it was red lettered in the code so it stuck out. I think they missed closing the tag with a ">"

I'd have picked something else myself, but it does show that the camera will record rather clear moving at relatively fast speed with the object in focus changing constantly.

It's being sold at a GI Joes sporting goods store in Oregon too, and they have a reputation for carrying decent quality at least. Its probably not junk anyhow.

Ive been looking at getting one of them too, chased around a few stores here but found i'd have to get one ordered in.

Oregon Scientific make a fair range of decent stuff so should be OK, but not likely on par with ekkas gear.

Still, that price is a song. Light adaption and focus are the key points as you move about in a tree.
