My Impressions:

Pros:
Rotating lens to give you correct video angle, allows you to mount the camera in different locations.

Rugged anodized aluminum exterior construction.

One button activation, with laser alignment.

Simple process to mount and or to remove from helmet.

Compact package, with no dangling cords to fowl up.

Cons:
The micro sd card is very small and hard to get your fingers on to remove from the camera.
Note: Removing the micro sd card and inserting it in the sd adapter is the easiest way that I have found to transfer your video to your computer.

Could use a lens cap for when not in use.

Bottom Line:
This helmet camera is in a price range that allows you the freedom to video your rides without a huge monetary investment.

I find it very easy to mount and use. Turn the power on, and you have the large sliding lock button on top to turn the cam on or off with, even with gloves this is easily done.

All the videos that you see above were took back to back on the same ride. I never stopped to clean the lens, nor turn the power off, just switched the slide lock on and off.

As you can see in the videos that the camera makes a nice transition from dark woods riding to very light open riding.

My only concern would be how this camera stands up to long term abuse.

So the bottom line is if you are looking for a very simple to operate helmet camera to take pictures of your rides with, then check out the VholdR Helmet Camera.
