Will this revolutionize the porn industry?
Handheld video cameras are great, but as the name suggests you need to hold them. With your hands. And that’s fine when you’re recording dad dozing, baby crawling and the best man making a fool of himself. It’s not so great, however, when you’re careering down a hill on your mountain bike, whooshing down the piste on your snowboard or holding three pints in one hand and a bag of pork scratchings in the other.
That’s why you need the ingenious ATC-2000 Action Camera. This compact, all-in-one digital video camera is ideal for all you adrenaline junkies/sport freaks/Punch & Judy operators out there, as it has been designed for hands-free use. Simply mount the idiot-proof Action Camera on your helmet or handlebars and you’re away. As long as you remember to look where you’re going you’ll soon be capturing oodles of action-packed, POV (point-of-view), MTV-styley footage.
After a radically bodacious (or something like that) day of filming you can watch the action, exactly as you saw it, by plugging the Action Camera into your PC (via USB) or TV (via RCA cables). Overdubbing the soundtrack with a suitably up-tempo metal anthem is entirely up to you. The Action Camera features 32MB of onboard memory, expandable to 2GB via SD card, so you can capture several takes as you attempt to master that black run, navigate those rapids or chat up that girl with the mesmerising, erm, eyes.
Waterproof and shock resistant, the sturdy Action Camera is built to withstand all manner of foolhardy hobbies, come rain, dirt, snow or shine. And thanks to its 640×480 VGA CMOS sensor, picture quality is cracking, no matter what you’re getting up to. Okay, so the resolution isn’t up there with top-end fancypants vidcams, but would you really want to strap one of those to your head whilst playing silly buggers in a kayak? Exactly.
We’ve been looking for a decent helmet cam for ages and the Action Camera is the first one that cuts the mustard in terms of quality, price and usability. So hurry up and get ordering before everyone’s wearing one. And… action!

Is the resolution high enough for independent filmmakers to care?
