Helmet Camera Specialists Launch MPEG 2 Recorder.

The solid state recorder, claimed to be one of the smallest, lightest and most-robust on the market, records onto a compact flash card in MPEG 2 format, which is easily transferred to a PC for editing or burning to DVD.
There are no moving parts, making it ideal for the most extreme conditions and recording situations. Given it's high recording resolution it is the perfect recording device for production companies and extreme sport professionals.
“Our TV production company and motor racing customers have been asking for high quality and affordable solid-state recording devices for some time so we are delighted by the reception of our new MPEG 2 recorder,” said Actioncameras.co.uk MD Sab Jhooti. “Traditionally MPEG 2 recording devices have been out the price bracket of many customers. With the launch of our recorder however, we hope to make this technology available to everyone.”
The MPEG 2 recorder comes with a number of features including built-in microphone, external audio and headphone sockets, direct AV-output and LANC remote option which can be used to remotely control recording. The recorder can either be powered by 4 AA Li-Ion batteries, a 12v battery or hard-wired into your car or motorcycle battery. 4 AA Li-Ion batteries will power both the recorder and helmet camera for 4-5 hours at 20 degrees C.
“With the MPEG 2 recorder camera costing less than the average AV-In camcorder, we believe it will soon be the recording medium of choice for extreme sports filming,” said Sab Jhooti.
Actioncameras.co.uk is a UK leading retailer of helmet cameras and accessories, providing point of view filming equipment and recording devices to extreme sports professionals, enthusiasts and film makers.
