Testing Cont…

The Class 4 microSD card included wth the Sportsmans Eyewear was plenty fast enough to handle the data that it had to process. At the end of the video, the light indicating that it was processing and saving would light for around one second and then you would be able to begin recording or taking pictures again. Although a Class 6 card would be a little nicer to have, the glasses may not be able to use it to its full potential, thus making it little more than novelty factor to say that your memory card is Class 6. The included 4GB microSD card was able to hold one 1hr 51min of video before it stopped recording. The battery was able to stay charged for the entire time the card was recording meaning you don’t have to worry about running out of battery before you run out of memory.

Although it is nice and convenient to have a rechargeable battery, the fact that you can’t carry an extra battery incase it dies, or buy an extended battery pack to prevent it from doing so, is a little inconvenient.

The Sportsmans Eyewear glasses are not only a video recorder, but also a hidden digital camera. If you simply give the glasses a quick push of the “play/pause” button, the 3 megapixel lens takes a snapshot of what you see.

Conclusion

When I received the Sportsmans Eyewear, I was expecting to have to bash it a little. After using them for an few days, I honestly couldn’t find an area to complain. They are comfortable, do exactly what they claim, and do it well. The multiple types of interchangeable lenses allow you to adapt the glasses to your environment. With this ability, there an infinite number of uses for these. From law enforcement purposes and firearms training, to recording your newborn child or spying on your significant other by leaving them on the table when you leave, everyone could find a useful way to incorporate these into their life. With a price tag of $269, the Sportsmans Eyewear is affordable for most and cheaper than a regular digital camcorder, however we would like to see these glasses a little more affordable. Not because they aren’t worth the money, simply because we think everyone should be able to afford one.
