NEW!!
The AT-1 wireless helmet camera system!
This is the UK's first truly wireless two piece helmet camera system.
Unlike other "wireless" helmet cameras this one has it's own separate recording device. The camera transmits video and audio to the recorder where it is saved on to SDHC memory cards up to 32gb in size. A 32gb card will hold over 25 hours of footage at full quality.
The advantage of this system over others like the ATC range is that you can see what you are shooting on the wireless recorder in real time...but without cables! Video quality is the same as the ATC cameras which makes this really good value for money.
Because the recorder part is external the camera head can be a lot smaller and easier to mount or wear. This camera is small enough to fit our vented cycle mounts and goggle mounts designed for bullet cameras.
Several mounting options are supplied with the kit including a handle bar/seat post mount, a rubber strap helmet mount and a roll bar mount for the recorder part.
Transmission range is about 12ft. The colour camera has a built-in microphone and like all other camera systems in this price range it works best in medium to good lighting.
This wireless helmet camera kit is really easy to use. Both the camera and the recorder can be charged from USB and the kit is supplied with a UK mains USB charger. Recording is started at the touch of a button and replaying the video can be viewed on it's built-in LCD screen, your TV or on a computer (no software required). Batteries in the camera last about 2 hours and take just 40 mins to recharge. Car chargers and portable battery pack chargers are available as optional extras.
The camera part of this kit is waterproof to 3m of water. The recorder part needs to be protected from getting wet.
Our verdict:
This is a unique bit of kit and really good fun to use.
As easy to use as an ATC camera without cables but with the added advantage of a smaller camera head and separate solid state digital video recorder.
