“I was a member of the media crew during the 2011 Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race, a week-long event, and for the whole time — including a 30-hour trek were I chased the first-place team! — the VIO.HD was at my side. Despite Patagonia’s best attempts to shut it down (wind, rain, rivers, swamps. . . and did I mention the rain!), the VIO kept ticking. Indeed, after most of the media crew had put their cameras away during parts of the race, the VIO stayed out and kept shooting. ” – Sam Salwei – GearJunkie
The POV.HD was recently named one of the Top 10 Summer Design Gadgets (for boys) by letitflow.com.
“What summer adventure would be complete without video footage that can last for an eternity online? Mount this sucker on your helmet, goggles, or wherever you can think of and you will have embarrassing footage in no time. This will also free your hands for other… stuff. ” – Maria Jansson
Shot 100% on the HD HERO® camera from GoPro®.GoPro.com
Matthias Giraud and Aiguille Croche capture some of the most incredible content seen by GoPro as they hit the Alps like true heroes skiing the French backcountry while escaping a large avalanche on their tails!
“Helmet cams have become required bike gear in this age of YouTube and rampant narcissism. VIO’s latest is one of the most technologically advanced—offering in-the-field tagging options and the ability to adjust exposure while riding—while still being able to stand up to rough use thanks to a wireless remote.” – www.elevationoutdoors.com

“The POV.HD is V.I.O.’s response to video professionals and riders who demand advanced high-definition video with vibrant colour and superior control that excels in extreme environments. Ideal for both on and off road disciplines that place huge stress on camera equipment.” – londonbikers.com
“When you see helmet-cam footage in ski and snowboard films, odds are it came from the POV, which favors reliability over versatility. The burly, pro-level 1080p unit uses a heavy A/V cable to connect the 142-degree lens to a handheld monitor/control unit.”- WIRED
