Oregon Scientific ATC 2K Action Cam Flash Memory Camcorder
I'll have to admit I was skeptical when it came to this camera. I've shopped for helmet cams before and been terrified at the price - so when one comes around for under $100 with no moving parts and standard AA batteries for a power source, it caught my attention. Well, for the most part I've been very pleased.I bought this cam for dirt riding, so I figured it would take some abuse. It handles it very well. The only downfall I find is that the helmet strap is not the best way to mount this camera as it allows too much vibration. If you are using this camera for this application I would recommend using the handlebar mount instead. I actually mounted mine to the frame of the vehicle as it is much more steady.I have gotten some great footage and great entertainment for the money.Get yourself a memory card (unless you're into 1 minute vids) and have fun. Oh yeah, if your looking for a camera to film grandpa's 115th birthday, this isn't it. It is an ACTION cam. The microphone is set up for wind and motor noise, etc. and doesn't do real well with voices. Use it for what it's designed for and you'll be pleased.

Summary: 5 Stars
i at first dident know if i wanted this camera so i got on to the reviews. there were some bad but also there were a lot of really good ones. i bought the camera the next day and had it put on next day delivery cause i was going on a disnay trip with my band so i need it quick. i dident get the next day beacuse it has to have a day to process so the title next day delivery is really misleading. but i got it in time for the trip and i dident know how well it would do. so i took it into the pool first and did some underwataer shooting and took it back to my hotel room to see how well it did. I was astonished when i saw how good the picture qualtiy was. it was amizing and i have been using it on my motorcycle when ever i got out riding to get a cool up close and personal shot of cars and other bickers. i love this camera and i think anyone who wants a good res camerea and dosent care about the sound get this cam cause it has good res but the sound isent that good. BUT I FOUND OUT ON YOUTUBE IF YOU REMOVE THE ORINGS YOU CAN HAVE REALLY REALLY GOOD SOUND! but i hops you have a good time with your camera and i hope this review was helpfull to you in deciding if you want to get it. bye.Customer Review: Awsome little camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
This tiny recording device has incredable value for what it does. My ocupation is in the electronic security industry where similar products such as this flood the market but can't touch this design. It's water-proof, dust proof, DROP proof and best of all.......under $100.00!
I use it for motor sport attached to my Helmet. Only one point of critisium I have is the fixed focal length. I feel the lens could use a bit wider angle or cabability of being adjusted. Performance is very good @ 30FPS and considering it's size, cost, and conveince, you could'nt ask for more for what it is. Iv'e read many reviews of this product before I purchased it and after using it I have to laugh at the negative critics. considering it's in the sub $100 price range, how can you say anything negative. It comes very professionally packaged, all the accesories you need for various mounting methods and sets up very easily. One thing to consider when purchasing memory is go for a couple bucks more and get the fastest SD memory possible. I am using the lowest speed and although performance is OK, it could be better I beleive. Go to youtube, type in the model of this device and you can see it in action.

pros..1st of all ilove it,it really has good resolition & is losts of fun to use...
pros..2nd, its most inexpensive($59) for the video you get...
cons.. the menu on the led screen is hard to use...but still not bad for the price
cons.. play back only on a pc or hd tv....
Im using it as an on board camera for my off roading my jeep 4x4,rock crawling & trail riding, its great...
only when im camping for the weekend i have no way to play back to see what it filmed!!! So im in the process of buying a personal DVD player(from amazon)that will play back the AVI fomant, with a USB plug outlet&S.D. card slot , so ican playback the days video of wheeling(4x4ing)
I have also purchaed (on amazon) 4 more 2gig S.D. cards (about 50 min each) to change on the trail or the days outing.......
Ill try to update this about the field playback....
now that i have had this camera for a wile im still loving it 4 what im using it for,but im finding out that to play it back off road or in camp it can only be played back on a laptop PC. there is NO dvd player that can play back the AVI format while in the Review: Affordable, durable 'Action Cam' performs as advertised.
Summary: 5 Stars I purchased this camera (along with a 2gb SD card) with the intention of capturing on-board video while riding my motorcycle. My initial experience was that the video quality exceeded my expectations, but the microphone was a bit too well protected. After reading a few reviews, I discovered that a rubber waterproofing cover was responsible for muting the mic, but that it could be removed. After searching for a driver/bit to fit the (recessed triangle) fasteners, I managed to successfully use a $1 eyeglass flathead screwdriver to remove the two mic cover screws. I then carefully packed the microphone cavity (knowing that microphones are extremely delicate) with cotton from a cotton swab, adding even more directly under the cover. As other reviews mention, this fix restores the sound to that of other DV cams (I saved the rubber mic cover in case I decide to jump my motorcycle into a lake ;-). I spent just over $100 for my ATC 2K, and feel I got a good deal, despite others' complaints about the buttons being too stiff, etc. This camera is perfect for what I bought it for.
