The Commute

My vHoldr camera arrived today. Brent sent me a link to an article about it being on sale for one day at Amazon.com so I bought it and "saved" about $200. The camera is just a few inches long with a wider than normal lens, built in microphone, 1gb microSD card and battery good for 2 hours of shooting... or so they claim. I used the sticky adapter that comes with it to attach it to the side of my windshield so I could record the commute home.



This is a clip from the 40 minute video (420mb). The wind noise is terrible so you might want to turn the volume down. You can see the quality is ok (television quality) and though its prone to shaking its not that bad. Overall I'm really happy with it given the price. The software that comes with it is hokey but it works. The online services take forever. For example it took about 30 minutes to upload this short clip. But its possible to copy the .avi files directly off the camera when its plugged up by USB. Overall I'm very happy with it.
