Digital camera reviews of Archos Helmet Camcorder for Generation 5 Archos Portable Media Players
Digital camera Review: A decent accessory
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this as I wanted a helmet cam to film shooting events from the perspective of the shooter. The included headband was a joke, but if you take an old baseball cap and mount it to the underside of the brim, the angle is perfect (looks like a first person shooter in a video game).
The other reviews are correct in that the recorded video is of low quality, but overall it is a cheap accessory that allows you to record hands-free perspective video directly to your Archos. In the end, it ended up sitting on my shelf more than getting used, as most of the activities this could be used for have the potential of breaking the Archos device that must be used along with the camera.
