New Generation Tachyon XC Action Camera!
Ok I have one of the new generation cameras coming and will do a full review. It looks like I have also sealed a good deal for UkGSer's as well.
Initial impressions and spec are superb!.... for a sneak look go to http://www.tachyoninc.com/
Once it arrives I will write up the review

Interest...
I'd be very interested in your thoughts. Are you planning on selling them ?
If so, what might they retail for in UK ?

Looking for a good one of these for SWMTF. If it translates to about £100 - £125 it looks like what she's after.
Do you expect to get it before Christmas?

It looks good and at a great price to - I bought an Oregon Scientific Action Camera a while back, similar spec, but the remote is infra-red so only seems to work when you are facing the camera, definately be interested to find out if this one is any better.

Does it have a screen or a viewfinder?
Tried to use a camera like this without and it was a real pain in the arse to set up as you couldn't be sure you had the right angle in the mount until you downloaded the footage to a laptop.
Not great when your on tour.

No screen or viewfinder but the lens is wide so should do the trick hopefully. I think if you set the bracket up and test it your fine as its not going to move anywhere so always the same view. Theres a swivel on one of the mounts so you can turn it around as well. |

As Above........
Hello all,
I just ordered one with a 16Gb card and bar mount thing ( was thinking of using it in pub!! Arf arf),
Last video attempt was a really nice Canon video camera Gaffa taped to the front mudguard. Fine at low speed low revs in the dry as soon as you give it a bit it all goes squiffy!
Will let y'all know what this little fella can do as soon as...............
By the by I'm up for the offroad school in April Level 1 Adv. anyone else?
