Great V.I.O. POV.HD video review and technical outline from Autuan Goodwin and the Cnet.tv tech team.
“I was a member of the media crew during the 2011 Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race, a week-long event, and for the whole time — including a 30-hour trek were I chased the first-place team! — the VIO.HD was at my side. Despite Patagonia’s best attempts to shut it down (wind, rain, rivers, swamps. . . and did I mention the rain!), the VIO kept ticking. Indeed, after most of the media crew had put their cameras away during parts of the race, the VIO stayed out and kept shooting. ” - Sam Salwei - GearJunkie
POV.HD review from the May 2011 issue of Men’s Health.
Motocross rider Brian Deegan reviews top selling point-of-view cameras including the V.I.O. POV.HD for Men’s Health Techlust.
“The battle to be the ‘numero uno’ in the POV camera market is heating up every day and this new product from V.I.O is surely one of the frontrunner in the race.” - www.themoneytimes.com
“The POV.HD is V.I.O.’s response to video professionals and riders who demand advanced high-definition video with vibrant colour and superior control that excels in extreme environments. Ideal for both on and off road disciplines that place huge stress on camera equipment.” - londonbikers.com
“I came home after the long day and uploaded the footage. The footage that I was able to capture is amazing!! Very crisp and clear, with such depth. The colors are leaping out at me. I showed it around to some guys in the office and they were all stoked at how wicked the footage looked. Now we were all hooked.” - Mark Zealand (Pointofviewcameras.com)

Whether you simply want to record your sporting exploits or you’re shooting an FPS film noir, the V.I.O. POV.HD Camera should be at the top of your gear list. Offering a super-wide field of view when shooting in 1080p HD — it’s slightly less when shooting in the slow-mo 60fps 720p mode — the POV.HD also features a shock-, dust-, and water-proof housing, a wireless remote, in-field editing and exposure control, SDHC storage, and the ability to mount to goggles, a helmet, or anywhere else that seems appropriate. - Uncrate
