A couple weeks ago I picked up a cool-ass video camera. It comes with all sorts of different mounts and has a waterproof housing included. I got the 170 degree wide angle version. Best of all, I got it for $125 cash. The website lists it at $190, which is still a deal. The specs list a 2 gig SD card as the max, but I successfully used a 4 gig card for 2 hours of video.
Some of you might know that I'm a scuba diver for the Seattle Aquarium. Last week I strapped it to my head and went diving in our 400,000 gallon underwater dome tank and had an interesting encounter with a Wolf Eel. I uploaded a 40 meg video clip to the AK FTP site.
Once the snow hits, I'm gonna mount it on my skis.
