Tachyon HD Helmet Cameras

[finessewes9119]

You haz helmet cam. You sir are winning.

[pock8size]

One of those mounted on the HD gun could prove to be very beneficial if something were ever unfortunate enough to happen.

[GunWebsites]

@pock8size

I agree

[toastertomattoe]

would you prefer these to say the go pro's? any complaints?

[GunWebsites]

@toastertomattoe

go pros look stupid

[toastertomattoe]

@GunWebsites i meant about the tachyon lol. any cons? (but dont worry, i agree)

[GunWebsites]

@toastertomattoe

oh, lol

so far these seem pretty cool

[TheChubbyKid]

This would be great for home defense - video evidence after. Might be a good thing, or bad.

[GunWebsites]

@TheChubbyKid

My thoughts exactly

[ryusekai]

how do you attach the Micro to a railed forend?

[GunWebsites]

@ryusekai

with the rail mount they make

[lostburro]

Would a rail riser, like UTG's high profile riser or Global's 1" riser, work? You can see through both but the issue would be whether or not it would be high enough to see the sights or too high to get a good sight picture of the sights/target.

Checked out the Tachyon website. They've got some cool feces!

[GunWebsites]

@lostburro

That's an interesting idea, I'll look into it

[Cr0cket20]

those are cool!

[GunWebsites]

@Cr0cket20

thinking they might make a good trail cam too since they are so small & light

[NinjaAegis]

Thats awesome!

[danthman114]

waterproof?

[GunWebsites]

@danthman114

the micro HD is waterproof down to 100 feet

[danthman114]

@GunWebsites nice.  i wanted to do some underwater spear fishing here in yuma...

[Jesses001]

@GunWebsites So in other words, the camera would survive depths that you would not. That is good to know.

[GunWebsites]

@Jesses001

well the depth of our underwater ops are classified.. but we can't film any of the 'deep stuff' anyway so...

[venturahwy76]

The picture looks pretty good, but the audio is not so good. Your regular camcorder vids look great.

[taofledermaus]

It would be cool to be able to connect the camera to a viewing screen in front of your eye so you can aim the gun that way. 

[drzmanproject]

nice. love weapon and head mounted shots. Any problem using them on your Glock? I was a little worried about using our Contour on our G34 due to muzzle blast. . .

[ALAPINO]

You guys should check out the new Replay XD1080-- I'm planning on swapping my remove video to a combination of the Replay XD1080 and GoPro HD2.

[fordxbgtfalcon]

it looks like they have image stabilization built in as well.

[weaponeer]

I have the GoPro for POV, but I hope to review others to add to the video toolbox



[Ltb0b]

140 isnt that bad for 720p and mounts

[bigblockcrx]

Do these cameras zoom? Keep the sick vids up!

[GunWebsites]

@bigblockcrx

no zoom, fixed focus with a wide angle

[vampire847]

use an angle adapter and you can see yer irons!

[ArtisanTony]

Very cool!

[GunWebsites]

@ArtisanTony

imagine one of these duck taped to a concrete hose for a close up look at the pour ?!?!

[ArtisanTony]

@GunWebsites haha, I would have thought those cameras would be more expensive.

[The1911Channel]

pretty cool...i have to get one for the bedroom

[bigblockcrx]

Sweet! Would you be able to use it during a training class or competition? Imagine this view for the ACTS type stuff.

[GunWebsites]

@bigblockcrx

yup, good point

[shonenarts23]

aren't they heavy? 

[GunWebsites]

@shonenarts23

nope, mostly plastic, the larger one weighs something with the two AAA batteries, but not much

[pieking11]

You should you mount the camera on a 45 degree mount on the flattop

[pr4runner]

Didn't know that you could possibly add more value to your videos that are already awesome. Great job & look forward to the new camera angle.

[Mo7Vsta]

The GoPros are better imo

[sgtdoyle28]

have you guys had problems with steel cased ammo?

[GunWebsites]

@sgtdoyle28

not with these cameras

[HalfMeltingEyes]

Awesome!



[MultiSr16]

it come with a picatinny mount?? is there any video out feature?? would be great with a small monitor kinda like what Wilcox is doin ??? any way to do that type of configuartion??

[midwestiowashooter]

Put a riser on a red dot base then you can shoot just fine

[VeracityNation]

These look like some good shooting cam options. Thanks for the heads up!

[TheJackyBear]

NICE...

[southerner985]

just use a side mount

[GunWebsites]

@southerner985

We want the sights in there

[atreyuthegreat]

@GunWebsites A rised sight?

[jettrooper3rd]

Are you gonna wear that helmet for are reviews from now on?

It'd be much easier to use your hands for reloading and attaching scopes!

[GunWebsites]

@jettrooper3rd

well, more often sure, but it isn't the perfect camera for reviews

[Xxs0k1d2kxX]

@GunWebsites get a go pro camera in HD. It shoots in 1080p.

[GunWebsites]

@Xxs0k1d2kxX

we don't use 1080.. but the option would be nice.. I hate the look of the GoPro

[lostburro]

@GunWebsites

Not sure about the gopros but most of the 1080p cameras record at 25-30fps when you can get 60fps from 720p. And the gopros are huge. The gopro would be great for a bumper mount for an offroad or even an on road video but they aren't small enough to do this type of recording with.

Good choice for your pov videos!

[bluetunder40]

Wow very cool ,like it

[lazarra101]

I don't know if you can adjust the video on these but I've had used the contours and you can adjust it.

[GunWebsites]

@lazarra101

not with lasers like they have, but you can buy two of these for the price of one contour, so..

[JWnFL]

you need a side mount. you need more rail real estate!

Great Idea!!

Love You Guys! (not in a Ghey way, not that there is anything wrong with that!)

[HMKfilms360]

almlst 2000 videos

[GunWebsites]

@HMKfilms360

yea, we haven't done as many as we wanted to this year..

[Hiluxtaco]

Is that a VTAC light mount on your AR? I thought you were going with something else?

[GunWebsites]

@Hiluxtaco

Yup, it's what I could get cheap for now..I plan to do something better.. once I find what that is..lol

[SPARTAN23123xS23x]

I'm acutely really excited to see upcoming videos using these,simply awesome can't wait:

[Chronic4o2o0Cannabis]

go pros are great cams but id say the ones you have are more specific to your needs

[mcekim2]

Very cool! I like the mounting options.

[mustanggreg66]

Can't say I'm realy impressed with the video quality there. Especially at that price point. I just upgraded from a ebay spycam setup that took similar video but in 480p. It looked shakey/glitchy, audio sucked, and color was off. Now I run the now older ContourHD and got a killer deal on it since they just came out with a new model. If you want good quality video for around the same price, I'd look there. I'm not affiliated with Contour in anyway, just like their product

[blackiechan303]

i want 1

[EverythingisFire]

The "Go Pro" HD hero line of cameras. In snowboarding, they mount them to their helmets usually. They have a number of different mounts you can use but I don't know what would work for mounting on a firearm. Their image quality is really good, in my opinion.

[Searching4Truth1]

@EverythingisFire

How many minutes can one record on these type cams?

[EverythingisFire]

@Searching4Truth1

For the standard version it says:

"Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card (not included)."

[Searching4Truth1]

@EverythingisFire

That's much better than I thought

Thanks for the info

[beast12101]

very cool, worth a look

[my1956effie]

Nice review, pretty good picture from them.

[c0dered987]

looks cool, just hope it handles the recoil well for awhile.

[EverythingisFire]

That looks pretty good. I'm pretty familiar with HD pro cameras since I snowboard and watch other 'extreme sports', I really like their quality but they're probably too big for your purpose? I'm not too sure.

[GunWebsites]

@EverythingisFire

what brand?

We were also looking at the Contour of course

[douwethaman]

@GunWebsites GoPro Hero HD, they are great! check them out on youtume :)

[GunWebsites]

@douwethaman

i personally hate the look of the go pros.. I would only get one if was VERY cheap ..

[douwethaman]

@GunWebsites you hate the quality or the look? i agree with the look, i have one myself, they are ugly! but the quality is insane! some videos on youtube show that parachutists drops them by accident from 3000 feet, and they keep on filming! the filming aswell is supergood! but yeah, the camera itself is ugly :P

[Transporter1022]

@GunWebsites

The brand is called Go Pro. High quality camera in a very small package.

[lostburro]

@Transporter1022

But not as small as this.

[SpiritOffAdventure22]

@GunWebsites You could mount a trs 25 on the top of the micro.
