All I want for Christmas – VholdR Wearable Camcorder

Last year my parents got me a really cool Tony Hawk helmet cam. It sparked the desire for a real helmet cam and I found the VholdR helmet cam.

VholdR is a wearable camcorder that records hands-free video from within the action. VholdR records up to 2-hours of TV quality audio and video to an internal MicroSD card. Its operation couldn’t be simpler with a single on and off switch. Even when wearing gloves, the oversized magnetic button can be operated easily for one click recording. VholdR’s TRail Mounts attach it to your helmet, goggles, handle bars, or vehicle, to record video in any weather conditions. Its rotating lens and patent pending laser alignment ensure you get the shot every time.
