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.

Does it have a remote start/stop to use when mounted in creative locations?

the deal is, we thought we had it set correctly. it says in the instructions to set the mic level to low for motorsports use. we were setting it to low, but we didnt realize that when you replace the batterys, it defaulted back to the original set-up. once we figured that out, it was fine. for the money (well under $200), this thing totally rocks. 2 gig SD cards can be had for under $10 up to $20. the largest file i had from the weekend was under 1gig (20 minute sessions).

That's not exactly true ... it did stay defaulted to the Lo sensitivity.

The audio was much better when inside the car, but still not 48K good. I couldn't EQ it enough to get resonably clean audio by my standards. It was there, just had the bottom end cut off.

Now on youtube to save bandwidth

No and that is my primary complaint.

Anyone with reasonable editing skilz can make the audio work. But, remote starting and stopping is a definite limitation.
