Marquette, MI (March, 2009)— V.I.O., the leader in wearable video technology, has engaged in a strategic partnership with Summer Gravity Camp (SGC), the world-renowned freeride bike camp based in Whistler, British Columbia. The partnership will utilize V.I.O.’s new POV.1.5 wearable video technology as a tool for training and video production.

Campers and coaches at SGC will have the opportunity to use POV.1.5 video units during the course of the camp experience. During that time, camper participants will be able to record and later produce videos to review freeride technique and share memories of the camp experience. Videos will be shared between the SGC website & V.I.O.’s video blog.

“Partnering up with VIO gives our campers an amazing tool for training and capturing those epic riding moments,” said Andrew Shandro, SGC Director. It’s great to have the opportunity to see yourself on video and take your camp experience home with you.”

Great V.I.O. POV.1.5 review from Helmet Camera Central and also Mountain Biking by 198.

Well, here it is, the holy grail of the helmet cam world (for now) -The POV.1 from VIO. We have been waiting for the POV.1 since the inception of wearable video. The POV.1 is a fully integrated, fully digital, DVD quality helmet cam system. We have a POV.1 in-house, and are so impressed with this system we have moved it to the top of our recommended helmet cam list, and to our inventory over at the The Shop @ Helmet Camera Central. Also, based on our hands-on review of the POV.1, it has met most of the specifications for our dream helmet cam system. VIO has invested quite a bit of time and money into designing this product from the ground up, and it shows. A lot of thought must have went into the hundreds of design decisions behind this unit. So far there seems to be good reason behind each issue I have with the unit. Keep reading as I discuss usability, pricing, quality, the good and the bad. Fast forward to the end for a deal on the POV.1 as well! Some highlights of the Viosport (VIO) POV.1:
