I took it to Tignes, Skiing in the French Alps. I got some amazing footage. Just briefly, I had a couple of teething problems, nothing serious. The main one was I skied for a whole day only recording Audio, the batteries had got too low to capture video but the green light was still on. Reading the instructions again they do touch on that but short of getting your camera out of your bag and checking at regular intervals, the crucial moment that it happens is difficult to pinpoint so as not to loose footage. I'm going to solve that problem by getting two sets of rechargeable batteries and insuring I go out with a freshly charged set each day! Maybe the Blackeye three could cover this eventuality with a change in LED colour when the camera is only receiving audio? The other thing which is more of an observation than criticism, the microphone records the operators voice very well but doesn't pick up the voices of the people around you as normal camcorder would. These two minor issues aside I thought the blackeye was fantastic. I did loads of research before I chose it and looked for footage already taken. I notice on the blackeyeusa website there is a lot of mountain bike footage but none of skiing. Had I seen the quality of my own footage from from Tignes, my research would have been over immediately and the blackeye ordered straight away.(I am by the way praising the camera and not the operator!) The first days recording was almost white out conditions but the camera picked out the definition in the snow much better than my own eyes amazingly. When the sun came out on later days the quality got even better! One aspect I would really rave about is the wide angle of the lens, I had the camera on the back of my head a couple of times to film my mates facing me as we zoomed down the slope. Despite the pot luck aspect of me not knowing what I was filming, everything was captured due to the superb wide angle (much better than any of the bullet cams I researched. Just to add, I used the camera in conjunction with a Lanc remote from a company called skytools (www.skytools.m.se)which allowed me to turn my camcorder on and off, record or standby and see a low battery and tape indicator without getting it out of my rucksack at all, I just fed the remote out of the rucksack, down my jacket sleeve and into my glove. Had I not done a bit of research I wouldnt have known they existed. It was the icing on the cake for the whole system. I would strongly recomend the Blackeye Here is a few comments about my blackeye head cam I got for Christmas.

There are two things that make me question it though. First , the resolution. If it's not topnotch but decent , how good is that exactly . Is it black and white ?, how close up and how far away are things clear? And second, the battery pack and recorder. How bulky and heavy is this?, and how would it be to attach and operate in the environment i would be in? Obviously what i love is the setup which is it's main feature. So if you know of a product that has the same setup and better features, could you please let me know.
