ActionCam ATC-3K £109.99
When you’re doing something awesome, and we owe it to ‘life’ to do that from time to time, you want to make sure it’s recorded for posterity. This is no problem if you’re filming the kids playing on the lawn, but it does become more problematical if you’re throwing yourself out of a plane at 30,000 feet, surfing a huge wave, hurtling down a mountain on skis or a track on a dirt bike. Enter the Action Cameras, two tough little no-nonsense digital movie cams that you can attach to a helmet, mast, handlebars, your foot, arm or whatever, record your latest adrenalin rush, and at last post something on YouTube or MySpace that’s actually interesting and exciting. Keep your hands free to pull the rip cord, swing from a branch, leap bungeed from a bridge, ride your bike, your horse or the back of a turtle (you never know), and let the Action Cams capture it all.
The ATC2K boasts an in-built SD card slot which can boost the existing 32MB of on-board memory up to 2GB. Or go for the new, wider lens 3K version and boost it to a whopping 4GB. The picture quality on both cameras is pretty decent too with a 640×480 VGA CMOS sensor, and you can play your footage back on your PC or TV. The ATC2K is water, dirt, rain, snow and shock proof and the 3K version is all this plus it is waterproof down to 3m. Both provide cinematic proof that you lived life to the full. Go and get muddy and crazy, and amass some evidence for use in your old age that proves you kicked butt in your well spent youth.
