Some of you were interested in this camera so I thought I would post a quick review.

First and foremost the coolest thing about this camera is the huge record switch on the top.
It is really easy to turn on and off while wearing gloves without having to look at it.

Another cool feature is the dual laser beam to adjust the horizontal setting.
After you mount it on your goggles, helmet or rifle you turn the laser dots on and spin the lens so the twin beams are lined up horizontally so your video isn't taken on an angle or sideways.

I must say I was really disappointed with the first video I took.
It was really choppy and paused a lot.
Then Bagel58 asked me if the extra card I had purchased and not received yet was a microsd HD.
It was but it made me think and I checked the card that came with the camera and it was not an HD card!
Hard to believe they ship an HD camera without an HD memory card. Bagel said it makes a big difference in quality.

Yesterday I got my new SD card and tried it out.
Now I am extremely pleased with the camera.
I gave it the ultimate test and put it on my dashboard in the car and took a 20 minute drive at varying speeds.
I had it on its highest setting and the video is incredible.
No breaks and no pixelization. It was smooth as silk.
The video view width is really good as well.
I almost purchased a wide angle lens for it when I bought it but I think that would have been overkill.

I highly recommend this camera.

I also purchased the waterproof case to protect it from weather and bb's but that makes it so huge I am not sure how functional it will really be. It almost looks like a normal digital camcorder mounted on my head!

I am thinking about purchasing a lens protector to use instead.

If anyone has any other questions on it, feel free to ask.
