Cool camera, I can't decide between one of these or a GoPro, the sound is something i'm taking into consideration too...

[HelmetCamTV]

@scattrr I will tell you that the Video/picture quality is pretty much the same. Mounts I would say GoPro. Features I say ATC9K blows GoPro away. ATC9K is a spur of the moment type camera that you can capture things quickly. GoPro is a more plan what your filming type camera. All in all either way you have a winner. Live it. Shoot it. Watch It. with Adventure Eye Video Systems

@Hexman64 Hi, i sent it back due to the buzzing and cracked grip, they sent a brand new one out and came yesterday, BUT still had the date issue,,, so i googled atc9k time problem and came up with the firmware upgrade you mention!!

Done it last night and sorted!!!

Cheers anyway,hope your comment helps others who view this page!

I have been out today with the GPS module so am just going to watch that on playback!

This camera works great, BUT, I seem to have a problem with the front lens cracking down the middle, I have swopped it out 3 time with the same result. I have the GPS module installed and it works fine (however not recording the distance). Overall it is a great camera with a major flaw in the screen lens, I found that the lens seems to crack over night with out it being used at all, so my assumption is that a difference in air pressure due to weather might cause the problem.

this camera needs a 170deg lens

If you have multiple cameras, will ONE remote activate/stop them all as long as they can get the signal?

Can i ask you something? can you change resolution to 720p and at what fps it is filming? how is the sound? thank you for your answer

@mk3stargazer The problem with the date is solved in a firmware upgrade. Just google for atc9k firmware, I downloaded and installed v1.25 yesterday, it solves the date problem (which I also had with firmware v1.10), gives a mic volume option and some more improvements. Good luck!

I like the camera, but after speaking with garyfreefly1 below i checked my camera grip(The yellow part which goes around it) I found it had cracked.

Also i have to keep setting the date and time each time i turn on, and it stills shows up on the video as 2010/01/01 even tho i set it correctly moments before.

Also each video has a loud metallic buzzing on it.

So it is going back in the morning for repair after i have tried phoning tech support, the phone just rings,and they dont answer emails

[garyfreefly1]

I have had major issues with the mounting system on this camera constantly breaking and the back up service is with this company is none existant I spoke to the help desk who was going to get the answers and email me back 3 weeks ago despite me ringing and emailing every few days since my first call no answers or contact has been made from them.I think my next step is going to trading standards as the mounting system on this Camera is (Not fit for purpose) good little camera with a major flaw

@atlasofdynasty I too bought a ATC9K. Iused the tripod mount on the 1st ride on my bike. It broke with-in 5 minutes. It seems they did not put much thought into this being an action camera. After 3 days the video started flaking out to a purple looking image. I sent an email to Oregon Scientific explaing both isuues. They sent back an email saying a case number had been set up. No response after that. It's a shame to send it back. I really liked the camera. The video is good when working.
