OK, got to watch the video today .... on my laptop .... and looked at all the camera parts.
And I'm going to be objective here ..... 1st) I personally don't think the video is any better than the POV video. Now, the video I watch on my computer compared to the video you watch on Youtube, are NOT the same quality. Trust me. And there's nothing I can do about that .... not sure once you take a video with the Xtreme cam it will be any better when watched on Youtube ??
2nd) You have to wear that ruck ?? ... Well that's gonna get ya warm .... and, you could do that with the POV, if ya wanted. I like the POV on the handlebar so I can see what the camera head is look'in at AND, to tell if I have it "Level" ..... So ....
3rd) You still have to buy a recorder of some sort ... that's more money ?? ... the POV is four pieces ... the remote (which isn't required by the way) .... the recorder unit, the camera head, & the cable. Pretty simple, eh ??
4th) The remote is NOT wireless .... so that's another freak'in cable you need to run ... whether that's on yer bod or yer handlebar.
5th) With the 12v adapter (which is extra) and then hardwiring it to the bike .... I never have to worry about a batteries go'in dead or pack'in a charger around. To me, that was a WAY nice & necessary feature.
There are other recorders out there just like this one. One is the "Action Cam"

Another is the "VHold" ... which is a tad different & maybe a tad larger ...

And the "HoytTech" camera ... which I almost bought .... and no extra recorder required ...

So, to tell me the Xtreme cam is gonna take better video than the POV & has more to offer .... OK, if you say so ... but I really doubt it ....... and I'm not say'in the POV is better than the Xtreme cam either ... they are both, one of many, high quality helmet cams on the market ........ However, I look way forward to seeing some video from the Xtreme cam ...
BTW ... if I WAS to get another helmet cam .... it would be the Hoyttech ....
Later ...
