Solid video and audio performance, plenty of recording options, bundled extras

Only waterproof up to one metre, expensive

The VIO P.O.V 1.5 is a durable and lightweight helmet cam that can take some very impressive video. Despite its limited underwater functionality, it remains one of the best action cameras on the block.

Easy interface. Ten levels of mic sensitivity. Small remote straps to your wrist, so you can stash the main control unit in your bag

Resolution maxes out at 720 x 480 — standard-def seems a little low-rent for such a spendy gadget. Bulky and heavy

This is a heavy duty wearable digital camera that does everything that one would expect from such a device. It delivers excellent recordings, is easy to use and highly durable

The weakness is the batteries which did run out on me after one hour. The Ideal offering would be a battery similar to what is going into the new Netbooks which can easily be recharged instead of four seperate AAA rechargable batteries
