Never heard of them. Do you have a link to the product? I'd be curious if they can handle a dunking.

Did you just receive an email about them? Weird coincidence if you didn't, because I just received one from the Hook-Up about them all of 3 minutes ago.

Sounds neat never tried or even heard of the glasses. I use a Creative VadoHD mini-camera mounted to the T-top or hand held.

High-Resolution Video Recording Spy Sunglasses with 8GB Zetronix

Found this after a quick search. I'd be worried about the salt and getting these wet though. I would love to use these while sking though!

lol thats funny.... I saw them at the hookup today and got all fired up. We have been wanting to tape fishing on the boat but the last time I broke out the camera and was taping I was supposed to be on the other rod and lost a big one, another time I was suposed to be running the boat thru the Ptown madness and missed some awesome footage... so i thought these would be perfect solution

Plus it would be neat to be able to film if you are fishing by yrself

Lee at Riverview has them..........He's letting me take a pair to try.....He had some footage he took last week in Costa Rica while fishing for sails and riding thru the jungle......I have to say it came out great...for the price and the size of the glasses cam....3.2mega pix I think you cant complain....Beats having to hold the camera in one hand while trying to reel with the other.

We picked some up down at the Henry's distributor show in South Carolina in early January.

They were over in the hunting section, not the fishing section, but we got a few to try on the charter boat - taping some clients bringing in fish, or else letting them wear them while bringing in a fish, then we would e-mail the video to them. This versus our handheld camcorder, not sure which will be easier.

They were marketing them for hunting, skiing, as well as fishing and other activities.

Been thinking of one of these as a site investment: GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports

Trying to figure out low light quality but finding little...

I looked at those when trying to decide on a camcorder for the boat.

Was very impressed, seemed to be rugged, BUT, I was a little apprehensive because I thought the price was too low - too much promise for too low a price? Went with a Canon instead, but the GoPro's do have a varied sports following.

Not sure about the low-light quality, went through alot of reviews and there was some talk of this issue.

Now if they made them as a flip up pair with some infrared illuminators on the sides you could use the in the dark, outside or in.

May fortune favor the foolish....
