Alamo Autosports via Mike Patterson sent Glenn an interesting little video camera for him to try out over the weekend.

It's about the size of a deck of cards, records AVI files directly to an SD card and comes with all kinds of nifty mouting gadgets that work absolutely great.

Here is the first installment of several demo clips of the camera

Quite impressive for the packaging and price point.

Well, audio is an issue.

I'm a video/multi-media producer and editor. So, the final version you see in that link has been significantly edited.

interesting...here is a GoPro camera that my buddy is using. The vid does not look as good as yours nor the sound....of course his is outside the car obviously....was your raw footage of similar quality?

Randy, if you look below the view window, on the right, just below "Views", there is a link to the higher quality version.

That appears to be shot on an overcast day. The shutter speed is extremely high on these cameras. I have a shot of the GP camera on my quarter panel and you can see the brass colored end on my valve stem go around. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

The footage you saw in my vod was shot with the mount on the window, outside the car.
Like I said, the sound has been significantly edited.

But this is a video camera, not an MP3 recorder.
