Men's Health talks about Action Cameras
Friday, August 6, 2010
This week Mark le Roux, SA's own world-class camera man, wrote about his favourite cameras on the Men's Health website. Not surpisingly a few action cams were included in his list. The HD170 and GoPro HD were mentioned as his best cameras for getting creative shots at top quality HD levels.
About the HD170, Mark says; "I have this on order and I have only heard great things about it. It records in full 1080p resolution HD at 30 frames per second. That’s good enough for SuperSport. It has a playback screen for lining up shots – so often with setting up a helmet cam is that half of the footage is unusable because the camera moved or was bumped. This screen will help a lot with that. The 32 MB internal memory is small but it can accommodate SDHC cards up to 32 GB. It’s also water resistant till 0.5m, which will be a relief for our insurance company."
For the GoPro HD, Mark's comments were; "This is what we strap to the bottom of the chopper and let it roll. So when you see those low-flying shots, it’s not me leaning out of the window (although I do a lot of that too) it’s this brilliant little camera. It shoots in HD and the footage is super smooth. It’s light enough so sometimes we can persuade a pro to strap it to his helmet. Plus, it’s waterproof, but you have to make sure you clean the lens occasionally. Rob Cunnington of Cycles Africa rode with it, partnered with Michael Moll in the Sani2C and the results were amazing."
You however don't need to be a professional cameraman to bring home beautiful HD videos of your adventures and experiences. Order your HD170 or GoPro HD right here to get started.

Just got this message from Cape Nature and they asked me to pass it on:
Due to the current high activity of leopards in the area Nature Conservation and the City of Cape Town has erected numerous camera traps along popular MTB and hiking trails in the basin. A new one has just been placed at the bottom of the Gantouw Pass as you step on to the railway line. Please urge all people to not interfere with these trail cameras as it is essential that the C.N knows the number of animals in the area.
Contact Paul Fourie on 0828730212 with any information on this. Thank you & ride safe.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Mike Catt, Rugby World Cup Winner and coach of the London Irish
premiership team went on a search to find an innovative way to improve
his backlines ability to see what he can see. The answer came to him in
the form of the X170 Action Camera. Now he can review each play from
the player's point of view.
"It's just brilliant" was Catt's
comment when first watching back Chris Malone's point of view after a
quick run around on the pitch. Catt and game analyst Richy Whiffin are
going to use the X170 Action Camera in training sessions throughout the
season so we're hoping this can contribute to their continuing success.

Batteries for Skiing and Snowboarding
Monday, January 12, 2009
Are you taking your Action Camera out skiing or snowboarding???
I quick tip from us; you should use Lithium-ion batteries as these aren’t affected by the low temperatures. If you use regular Alkaline batteries then you’ll notice that the battery life will only be a few minutes as soon as you expose it to the temperatures.
The plus side is that (while more expensive) the Lith-ion batteries do last about 2 to 3 times longer then the regular ones.
So to make sure that your batteries can last as long as you do get yourself some Lith-ion Batteries!
Enjoy the slopes!

Even if you're just taking the kids out for the first time then an Action Camera is essential for capturing all those special memories.

New : POV.1 with 4Gb and 8Gb upgrades
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Action Cameras has figured out how to crack the code on an SD card to allow them to work with your POV.1. This means that you can now get up to 3hrs on a 4Gb card and up to 6hrs on an 8Gb card!
This amazing break through brings down the wall on one of the only shortfalls of the revolutionary POV.1 Action Camera – the limited memory space. You can now head out for a whole day of extremities and not worry about running out of recording time. If you already have a POV.1 Action Camera then we can get you these cracked SD cards and they'll work great with your cameras, and if you are looking to get a new unit then you can get these cards with your new camera right from the beginning.
We are really excited to let everyone know about this so spread the word and tell your friends that they can now double or even quadruple the memory space for the POV.1 Action Camera.
