New Hands Free Video Camera
Well I got a new toy that will accompany me on future hunts.
A new 3 megapixel Video Camera capable of 736 x 480 DVD quality resolution videos with stereo sound. Check it out...

If you don't see the camera in the above photo, look a little closer at the sunglasses.
Thats right, it is embedded in the frames of the sunglasses. It has a 9 hour recording capacity with 8GB MicroSD card. The battery life is about 3 to 4 hours. There is a micro USB connector in the frame for hooking to a PC and it comes with interchangeable Polaroid glass lenses. Clear, dark, amber, and morning light yellow. Here is a little video I shot. I uploaded this to Youtube and it really crapped up the quality, but you get the idea...
Spectra V3 Swing Speed
EDIT: use the resolution arrow on the lower right side to set this video to 480 P
The microphones are ultra sensitive. I was actually whispering during the video. Much more sensitive than human hearing. This kind of is an issue if you try and talk in a normal voice. Sounds farther than 3 feet away sound great though. Anyone know a video site that will preserve the quality and resolution?

That looks great! What did they run?
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
They retail for about $199.00 I got mine from a local dealer. You can find them online for around $179.00
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Not bad...I have never posted any videos. Maybe I can get some tips and instruction from you if I decide to pick some up.
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Jack...that's a cool tool you got there. Nice video with it too.
Thanks much!!!
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Sensitive mic eh? I thought you were trying to sound all sultry and what not. Nice picture on that camera buddy, but if you keep whispering like that, you'll draw RH over here! I bought a 10 tripod for my camera that way I will be able to set it down while I dig. Got it at Big Lots for .99 wooohoo...
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Just curious what is your recovery delay set at for that slow of a swing?
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
That is a pretty neat tool to have, and the video is actually good. I will have to look into getting one. Thanks for the post, Jack! thumbsup01

My Recovery Delay was set to 100. This is key to getting those coins to sound off fully.

Yes there is to small push buttons on the top left side of the frames about half way back to your ear. One is a power button, the other is the start stop record. Here is picture of the CAMO version. You can just see the buttons

Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Very cool product. It's amazing how small and discrete it can be. And the memory is pretty good too. Beats lugging and trying to position a video camera. This could make detecting and recording finds fun. I wish it had a wider view, I'm afraid I'd cut off the good parts lol
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Sheesh... shows how dense I am... I thought you just took a picture of yourself in the sunglasses with your new camera... I had no idea that the glasses were the camera... Helps to read all the post before viewing the vid... Very cool stuff Jack!!!
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
That is pretty cool, of course know I expect a video with all your excellent posts. ;)
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
that's very cool! thanks for the video.
can you cahnge the v3 settings so you can move around using a faster sweep?
or is that just the way you have to use the v3? wow i't take awhile getting used to swinging a coil that slow :-\
Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
The V3 is very versatile. You can adapt it to most any hunting condition. I choose this method because it allows me to run down to the old park about 3 blocks away at the end of the day and make great old coin finds. There is a lot of Silver Dimes still out there Brother. ;)

Re: New Hands Free Video Camera
Wow ! Those are super cool!
I thought for sure they would've coast way more than that.
Looks like they would make filming some hunts pretty simiple.
Thanks for the tip 8)
