Video shot using the V.I.O. POV.1.5.
2011 point-of-view winter highlight video showcasing snowboarding, skiing, and paragliding all shot using the V.I.O. POV.HD.
“I’ve been working with V.I.O products for over 3 years now. The introduction of the new HD unit has been long awaited and defiantly worth the wait. It’s still as rugged, flexible and easy to use as before but with so many more advantages. As a video editor the new formats are great to work with in various editing software’s. The picture quality is amazing and has a super-wide field of view when shooting in 1080p HD. It’s reliable in extreme temperatures, has taken a few beatings and has out performed any other POV camera I’ve used in the past. A big thanks to everyone that’s helped … Here are a few highlight shots from winter 2011.” reelfunmedia.com
“When you see helmet-cam footage in ski and snowboard films, odds are it came from the POV, which favors reliability over versatility. The burly, pro-level 1080p unit uses a heavy A/V cable to connect the 142-degree lens to a handheld monitor/control unit.”- WIRED
“Took it out a unit a week or so ago and skied some wind slab. Here’s a sample taken at 1080/30 fps…the raw footage looks very good if you have a computer fast enough to run it. I don’t pay for Vimeo so the resolution was cut down quite a bit… One huge improvement over the previous unit is the way it handles difficult light conditions and I haven’t even messed around with the metering mode or exposure adjustments.” – Jay Paonessa
