The new POV1.5 Action Camera is a fully integrated point-of-view (POV) video system that's waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant. The system includes a mountable camera head, built-in video recorder, wireless remote, mounts, 4Gb SDHC Card and software for managing your point-of-view videos.

Filming is made easy with the VIO POV1.5 wireless remote which works up to 3 meters without requiring line-of-sight. Once the camera is set up then the remote is all you need to operate it. The POV1.5 will take up to a 8Gb card, giving you 42mins per GB at 720 x 480 which is the highest resolution and this is close to DVD quality, and yes, that does add up to over 5 and a half hours of recording time!

It's that simple. * Full waterproofing allows you to use the POV.1 in any conditions from Kayaking to Snow Boarding. * The Wireless Remote Control is a terrific advantage when compared to other cameras available on the market.

The second mount attachment is a handle bar mount that fits all standard sized bicycle and motorbike handlebars; this has also been mounted to the bars of hand gliders and the like. The newest addition to the mounting kit is the Star Mount which is adaptable to almost any surface. It comes with magnets so that it can be mounted to a cap or any thin surface, this can also simply be stuck to surfaces with the provided adhesive and velcro pads. * The POV.1 records onto SD card, a 1 or 2Gb will respectively give you 42mins and 1hr24mins when recording at 720 x 480 which is the highest resolution and this is close to DVD quality.
