Vivitar 690HD Pocket Cam - - Enjoy Underwater Video Shooting Being Within Your Budget

It’s pretty easy to record video footage these days. Almost every phone can do it, and since most people aren’t more than a few feet from their cell at any time, you can bet that there’s always a camera around. However, if you want to shoot some video underwater, you’ll have a little more difficulty. After all, the worst thing you can do to a camera is drop it in water (well, a blender might be a little worse). For these times, you might consider the Vivitar 690HD Pocket Cam.

This rather boring-looking 720p camera would fall into the realm of “ordinary” if not for its amphibious nature. All you’ll need is an SD card (it only comes with a paltry 8MB of internal memory) and you’ll be ready to venture into the depths of the sea (or at least the pond out back). What’s really interesting is that you will only have to spend $60 on this gadget. If you’re wanting to shoot underwater without spending a lot of cash, I’d say this is the way to go.

HD Goggles Produced by Liquid Image - - Hi-def full 1080p HD Movie Recording While You're Enjoying Skiing

If you’ve ever gone skiing, you’ve probably found it to be a pretty thrilling experience. Watching from the sidelines just doesn’t do the sport justice. The same can be said about taking footage of a run. Having someone point a camera at you won’t produce the same sort of thrill that a helmet cam would. That’s why the people at Liquid Image have produced these HD Goggles.

We’ve seen helmet cams in the past, but mounting a camera to the side of a helmet can be a hassle. This one has the camera mounted right on the goggles. This reduces the amount of time spent setting up the camera so that you can spend more time on the slopes. Also, with the camera right on your forehead, you’re going to eliminate the off-center video that you would otherwise get. The camera shoots in full 1080p HD, and stores the files on an SD card (up to 32GB). Unfortunately there is no word on pricing.

The Camera-Torch Can Record and Project Your Personal Productions

How would you like a handheld gadget that not only records video, but also plays it back with magnified sound and picture? The Camera-Torch is that device, and you’d really never guess just looking at it.

Behind that is a sophisticated digital camera and camcorder that can also project its recordings on any flat surface for a big-screen experience. Perfect for action filming from your bike handlebars or just about anywhere else, the Camera-Torch is a steal for its $80 price tag.
