1080i Compact HD Camera. Splash-proof Specification Suited for Outdoor Use

1 1/2 x 1 11/16 x 3 1/2 inch (37 x 42.5 x 86.5 mm). It can take 1080i HD or SD images and sound in places that no ordinary camcorder can access.
It is possible to attach it to various devices such as helmets by utilizing the screw hole at the bottom of the unit*1, and capture HD or SD images from angles that you have never experienced before.
