Product Description
Wear it, Shoot it, Share it... Think the world doesn't need more video? Wrong, it needs YOUR video, and VholdR (vee-holder) is the go-anywhere do-anything wearable camcorder that SHOOTS your life in motion. you can SHARE it with an entire world of action life stylists just like you. VholdR mounts to nearly anything, from helmets to handlebars, roll cages to bullhorns. It captures TV quality audio and video to a MicroSD card (1gb card included), and it's abuse proof. No tapes, no cables, no kidding. So get VholdR, and get in the game! Image Capture: It may look like just a lens, but the front of the camera houses at least 3 major elements. Dual lasers activate on demand, sending out referencing beams indicating two pieces of information, where the camera is pointed, and if it is level. The lens itself is a glass eye with a focal length covering the gamut, from arm's length to infinity, which focuses visual information onto a CMOS image capture card at 640x480 resolution. Armored Video Everybody recognizes the sound of cracking plastic, or the feeling of dread as we watch an expensive camera hit the ground and disintegrate into a dozen fragmented pieces. That's not a problem with VholdR. We recognize through years of action sports experience that gear is subjected to abuse, and the harder the sport, the harder the abuse. VholdR is made from brushed aluminum, baked fiberglass and rubb

 Great camera February 11, 2010
T-Rex (Michigan)
Recently put this camera through its paces on a 715 mile snowmobile trip through Michigan's upper penninsula. Works great, takes great video and is easy to use. If I had one thing to gripe about, its the auto shut off feature for the unit that, if not used for a certain amount of time, it shuts completely down to conserve battery life. Good feature, but got annoying having to stop, remove unit from my helmet and turn it back on. Outside of that, it works great and is easy to set up and download from. Would definetly get another if I can find it for as good a price.

Overall this is a great product. I purchased this about six months ago and have no issues. The following are some pros and cons:
Pros:
The best feature of this product is the ease of starting and stopping the video. I can hear the beeps announcing recording while driving a 250cc motorcycle with a helmet on (obviously). The other great features are red/orange/green light indicators on both battery life and memory. This also has multiple mounting devices for many different surfaces which is also a great plus. I have captured some awesome crashes and experiences I love to watch again and again. I also like the fact the charge connection is Mini USB so I was able to use my cell phone charger. It is very easy to turn on and off both the power and recording while riding.
Cons:
I can usually record a maximum of two hours of riding. Both the battery and 2gig memory card allow this much. I have compensated this by periodically turning off and on the camera and only filming trails and turning it off on roads. There is a little bit of wind noise while driving but throw music on the vid and it works great. The editing software provided is for newbs. I guess this could be a pro as well but I like to edit my vids with software that has more features.
I would recommend buying multiple cards or I bring a laptop to charge and download the movies so the camera is ready for the next ride. I also recommend getting other charging devices for instance car chargers and wall charges. I am going to be using this for the skiing/snowmobile season so I will update this review on how well it works for these sports.

 Camcorder delivers great video, however can't handle impact recording! August 29, 2009
M. Rodriguez (San Antonio, TX)
This wearable camcorder delivered great video. It's easy to use and very simple. There's only one switch (stop/record) and one button (on/off/laser). The camcorder features two lasers which point at whatever it's recording - other than that, this is just a lens with a microchip and a flash memory card. I intended to record some sweet stunts while wearing this camcorder, however as soon as it makes impact, it stopped recording! The camcorder did not break, and is very hard to scratch (pavement does the trick!), however I lost all my sweet footage as soon as I hit the deck. The camcorder still works - it turns back on and works good as new after an impact. I even tried just dropping the camera from approx 3 ft and it still shuts off. So unfortunately, I can't post a video of this camera getting banged up, because as soon as the camcorder shuts off, I lose the video which was in the process of recording. All previously saved video clips are still there, though.
As a second demonstration, I tried dipping the camcorder in a bucket of water while recording. Again, the camcorder shut off when submerged. I could, again, turn the camcorder back on after pulling out of the water, but it refused to work under water.
This camcorder can survive impact and survive the elements, however cannot record in high-impact / wet environments. Perhaps I have a defect? Considering I got this as a Vine product, I have no interest in calling up the company to inquire about these issues. However, I would definitely be upset if I paid $200+ for this camcorder.
Has some glitches but good overall August 21, 2009

It has a lot of pluses, and I think they improved on the design with the new HD that just came out as far as memory space. I would like it a lot better if you could use a regular SD card like a 16 gig instead of the max of 2 gigs. Once in a while it will stop recording and then start again which gives me a bunch of files that last about a second each. For the most part though it does it's job and I'm happy for the most part.
