The outdoor environment offers a great many hazards to video equipment. Camcorders typically require setup in order to load a tape or disc and then can be cumbersome to point and shoot, and all these factors can deter their use when speed is of the essence and size must be minimized. As a result of technology innovations and the march toward shrinking electronic components, Extreme camcorders have exploded onto the consumer market, or the extreme consumer market.
Extreme camcorders offer the adventurer, outdoorsman, utility worker, security officer, sports enthusiast or any other extreme occupation an option to create quick video recordings from a device that is about the size of a small flashlight. Extreme camcorders are small, and typically weigh in around 4.5 to 6 ounces. Many are weatherized so they are water-resistant, spill-resistant, shock-resistant and some models can even withstand a fall of a few feet. Some models are covered in a hardened rubber exterior to protect the internal camcorder components and seal the body from the environment. These camcorders come with mounting apparatus so they can be quickly mounted to a helmet or other surface.
Surprisingly, Extreme camcorders don’t lose on quality either. Many of these Extreme camcorders offer HD quality recording. Because these camcorders offer the latest in digital recording, most use an SD chip to record the digital video. While times vary, you can record more than 3 hours on a 16GB SD chip. The beauty of the chip technology is that it can be easily uploaded to a computer, making it ready for share with friends.
