Camera footage included!
I would also like to add that the unit runs on “AAA” batteries. In order to record the full 56 minutes uninterrupted, it is worth the extra money to purchase the lithium batteries.

This video camera packs a punch weighing only 2.5 ounces and measuring under 3 inches can record up to 100 minutes of continuous Video/Audio while out on your adventure.  Perfect for the helmet without the extra weight.

The standard mode is a 47 degree Wide Angle (1X) and can be easily toggled to Zoom mode (2X) from both the camera and video modes.

Downloading

Downloading with a the USB cable is as easy as “drag & drop”.  The computer will see the camera as a USB Mass storage device. The SD card can also be inserted into a card reader for the same results. This unit is also compatible with Mac units:  iPhoto will launch once Epic is plugged into the USB port.
