VholdR / Shoot

Image Capture

It may look like just a lens, but the front of the camera houses at least 3 major elements.

Dual lasers activate on demand, sending out referencing beams indicating two pieces of information, where the camera is pointed, and if it is level.

The lens itself is a glass eye with a focal length covering the gamut, from arm’s length to infinity, which focuses visual information onto a CMOS image capture card at 640x480 resolution.

Both the lens and the capture card rotate together 192 degrees within a pivoting hermetically sealed capsule. This means no matter how you mount the camera, VholdR sees a level world.

And you thought it was just a lens.

Everybody recognizes the sound of cracking plastic, or the feeling of dread as we watch an expensive camera hit the ground and disintegrate into a dozen fragmented pieces.

That’s not a problem with VholdR. We recognize through years of action sports experience that gear is subjected to abuse, and the harder the sport, the harder the abuse.

VholdR is made from brushed aluminum, baked fiberglass and rubber. It’s guts and nerves are silicon treated and insulated from the elements, keeping you in the game, no matter the mud, the dirt, the snow and the rain. Gravity is unwavering, and so is VholdR.

On. Off. Repeat

It doesn’t get easier than single button record operation. Even with gloves on, hitting the button is easy. Slide it forward and a beep indicates that VholdR is rolling. Slide it back and a beep indicates that it’s off.

Each flick of the switch creates a new file. Want ten seconds of something? No problem – on and off. Want five minutes? No problem, on . . . and off.

Access

The magic happens behind closed doors. VholdR’s rear–facing LED hatch houses the goods�

   Removable battery – swap on the fly and extras available
   MicroSD card – removable and 1GB = 50min. of action
   USB 2.0 – cable included in the box
   Indicator lights – green=go, yellow=1/3 left, red=uh oh.

No guess work necessary. All Vholdr, all the time.

Fine Line Processing

Smear kills action video. If a video processor can’t keep up with the action, the result is jagged lines and smeared images. So VholdR changed the rules.

Instead of relying on a software–based system, we’ve created a hardware–based processor dedicated to one thing – video. This is the equivalent to hiring an employee to only turn on the lights – no answering phones, running for coffee, or stroking any egos.

The result? Smooth, sharp, and colorful TV quality AUDIO and VIDEO.

Flexible Mounting

Where you put VholdR dictates what kind of video you’ll get. VholdR’s mounting options are designed to give you the flexibility to capture video in ways even we haven’t predicted.

We’ve planned for flat surfaces like helmets, boards, car hoods, windows, tabletops and more; vented surfaces like bike helmets, cages, backpacks and such; narrow gauge objects like handle bars, golf clubs, ski poles and hang glider frames; and of course large gauge framework such as windsurfing masts, bull horns, roll cages, dogs and whatever you can come up with.

In the box: standard helmet mount

Accessories: goggle strap | vented helmet | handle bar | roll cage
