Hey guys,
So recently it has come to my attention that glasses capable of taking first person videos are not as expensive as I expected them to be, majority of prices seem to be set sub-$100 ...
Anyway, I browsed a while on DX (because I'm a cheapass), and while I did find some nice looking stuff:
USB Rechargeable 3.0MP Pin-hole Spy AV Camera Disguised as Working MP3 Player Sunglasses (4GB) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
Or,
Rechargeable Spy Sunglasses MP3 Player + Hidden Camera Camcorder + Bluetooth (8GB Memory) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
But not one model out of few dozens of camera glasses they have is available, they are ALL sold out, seemingly permanently.
So went to browse a bit more, and so far I've seen that cheapest DX cameras are known for their problems and bugs here and there, but when they do work, they work really, really nicely.
So I thought it be a cool gadget to have - listening to some nice music and filming some first person parkour/laser nightshooting, while also doubling for data storage device and ofcourse, cool sunglasses.
...And here I am, not knowing where to even start looking.
In short, I'd like something in $50-60 range, reliable enough, quality of video doesn't need to be spectacular, as long as the picture isn't tearing and being all wavy like on cheap webcams, it has to be an MP3 player.
I don't need wireless connectivity or FM radio. It would be preferable it's not a "spy style" concealed camera, I have no problem with it looking a bit high-tech and eye-grabbing (teh pun).
So I thought that maybe some of you folks would have some reccomendations, what to go for, what to avoid, do's and don'ts. Which brands/models are cool, best for price, which are not.
I'd even accept second-hand pair of glasses if anybody wants to get rid of them or something - cash+trade are also options.
Thanks in advance for any info or deals!
