Take your first look at the new VholdR, a wearable, palm-sized
camcorder created especially for shooting extreme video for quick
uploading to YouTube. Notice that its lens takes up most of its volume,
and its 4.8-ounce weight and 3.7-inch length encourage you take it
along. It even includes helmet-mounting hardware for those wild
snowboarding and whitewater rafting sessions, as well as proprietary
shake management so you can keep your clips from inducing viewer vomit
sessions. When you're done shooting, its VholdR desktop software lets
you keep your videos organized or upload them to YouTube with a single
click.
The VholdR is built tough for taking plenty of abuse, too, made of anodized aluminum that's splashproof. The hardware compression engine on board is impressive, crunching down its 640x480 30fps video to manageable file sizes. We especially like that single button to roll, easy to operate even with gloves on. And there's no tape or fragile hard disk to worry about—it records everything onto a microSD card. The first few are expected to be available by Christmas, retailing for $349.99.
