katzas 0 #1 May 31, 2014 Has anyone used goggles or sunglasses with a cam built into them? The newer ones are 1080P HD and are being offered with 5.8GHz wi-fi capability. I don't know if this allows real time freefall transmission or not. You can put an SD card into the glasses/goggles to record the dive. This would seem to eliminate one problem with externally mounted cameras on helmets. Comments? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet low light performance will suck majorly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
countzero 7 #3 June 2, 2014 A buddy of mine bought a pair a few years ago Pivotheads I think. The camera was located in the nose piece and had a very narrow field of view. I don't know if any of the newer ones have fixed this issue.diamonds are a dawgs best friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if any of the newer ones have fixed this issue. These claim 143 degree lens which is located in the bridge between the lenses on the sunglass type. There are goggles too. I guess the only way to find out is to buy a pair. Will post results if I do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #5 June 2, 2014 The video I've seen (I have no idea what brand/model of goggle) is mediocre at best, especially relative to the quality from other small cameras nowadays Fine for a "woo hoo look what me and my friends did this weekend" kind of video, but not great for much else."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
