Default The coolest thing EVER!!

I had to share the link on these glasses. I already got my pair & they work really well. They are a little wide on the sides but they hold onto your head really well. Gone are the days when you need a rider to get Dragon videos. No more camera mounts - no more motion sick passengers. If you are going to puke in my car it will be due to my driving, not because you are trying to video my run!!!

I should note that I don't have any affiliation with this product - I just think its freaking cool!

What do you mean? I already own a pair. They work great. What does that have to do with that terrible Black Maxx car?

Actually Kim, my Wife got pretty adept with the camcorder the first time we tackled the Dragon.
I wonder if I can get the new shades with perscription lenses.

They come with regular & tinted lens. They actually look like Oakley sunglasses when you are wearing them. The only videos I have taken so far are of my dogs out by the pool & of my living room. The big problem with a lot of pin hole cameras is that its hard to know what you are filming. You can actually watch what you are filming on the view finder if you choose, but after playing with the glasses I found that it films whatever your nose is pointing towards. The camera is in the nose bridge, so its eye level but in the middle of your face. I think its pretty neat.

With the clear lenses in I think it would be pretty cool on the drag track too.

I am obviously super excited about how neat they are. The deal on them lasts a few more weeks so I wanted to kick it out there in case someone else was interested.

Nice find Kim. I should have been wearing them when I followed you thru the Dragon. You would have been happy with that video.

These will be obsolete next year, so I'll wait for the contact lens model to come out.

I'm sure that depends on how big of a mini-card you use but the battery lasts for 2 hours. 1.5 if you are using the LED screen.

I am going to try to remember to bring them to our gtg tomorrow.

Any autocross folks need a set of these too!
