Good price..Good camera 
2008-05-07
This unit has a good picture. Easy to operate and a very reasonable price. The only drawback os the audio is poor. I like how compact it is and that it uses standard batteries. No recharging, just insert a fresh set and your ready to go. Another great feature is the direct video playback to TV. The unit comes with several mounts and attachments for a wide variety of applications.
Adequate and works as advertised.

This is exactly what I expected. It gets the job done. So far I've taken it on two mountan bike rides, numerous motercycle rides and on a 20 foot snorkleing dive. I bought two 2 gig sticks and have ever only had to use 1 of them. 2 Gig gets you about an hour. The display will nominally show how much time you have remaining on the memory. It alternately shows how much time you have been recording. The smaller buttons are a little tricky and the menus requre you to read the owners maual to figure out how to navigate, but I rarely change anything so I never have to. Press the big button to start (hear 1 beep);see the display count up;press the big button to stop;(hear 2 beeps); the display shows the time remaining. Thats it. Plugging a standard mini USB cord into the back of it makes it act like a standard flash device. So no need to install any software. Transfer is kind of slow, but what do you want? There are some features that let you change the frame rate and the picture quality. It says doing that will make your videos smaller, but I never bothered checking those features out. The audio is crap. I have read that they make the mic insesnsetive to muffle wind noise, this is true. Around the house the audio is muffled but while moving, you hear how the wind kind of takes over. I use Windows movie maker for all editing. It is free and does everything I need it to do. For the price, this camera is probably the best one out there. It is rugged and the quality is fit for youtube.
Could be better

Me and my friends go paintballing a lot, and I had been looking for a helmet camera for quite a while. After stumbling across this one, I did some research on it, and it seemed to be a good buy for the money, so I bought it. Once I received the camera and went paintballing for the first time, I noticed quite a few annoying aspects of this camera.
First, the sound quality is horrible unless you remove the rubber membrane like I did. It only picks up the loudest of sounds, and with bad quality too. There are also a lot of loud klanking sounds when you are moving quickly. Also, there is no image stabilizer with this camera so when you run around a lot, there is an annoying wavy effect on the video. The camera itself is also a bit bulky to be a helmet camera. It sticks off my paintball mask about 2.5 inches and sets it off-balance a bit, which gets irritating after a while. Lastly, the camera has a horrible viewing angle. You can only really see what is going on when you are very far away from the action.
There are mods online that you can look up to fix the camera if you don't mind losing the waterproof feature, but other than these quirks, the camera itself is very useful for the money.
#1 Product!!!! 2008-04-23
What a great product for the money. It by no means is a high class HD quality camera. But for the money and for what I am using it for it is perfect. I am a fire fighter and I have retro fitted a mount to my helmet. I also have the handle bar mounted to my motorcycle. Great picture quality even at high speeds. LIKE I SAID IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A FUN TOY THAT DOES NOT COST A TON OF MONEY AND STILL HAS GREAT PICTURE QUALITY THIS IS IT!!! I cant wait for the pool to open and then I can try it underwater.
Pretty cool 2008-04-18
I've been using this mounted to my bicycle's handlebars. It's been working really well even in really low light conditions and in the rain. It does, though, really suck through memory and batteries almost frighteningly quickly. I'm quite satisfied overall with it.
Handy, But.... 2008-04-05
Capture in-your-face action from an exhilarating first-person view! From mountain biking to wind surfing, this hands-free, water- and shock-resistant digital camera mounts easily to helmets, handlebars and other equipment for exciting views in the most extreme situations. Model AT-18.
Very marginal camera 2008-03-25
I'm surprised by the generally positive reviews. After using it for a few days and seeing the marginal video and no audio, I figured I would never watch the files and therefore returned it. You have to really be looking for a cheap, all-weather camera to find any value in this product.
I probably would have kept it had the audio worked. Searching on-line I found what made sense: the microphone was made waterproof rendering it essentially inaudible. To remove the waterproofing requires that you have triangular-headed bits to remove the screws from the microphone cover. I did a little searching online for the bits with no luck. Therefore the return.
Image quality while moving is unusable 
2008-03-24
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R35CDG1HEXH9JU If you put it on a tripod and have a lot of light the image quality is acceptable. Just don't move and give it lots of time to adjust as lighting conditions change. Just think shade, sun, shade, sun. I wouldn't buy this for $10 because useless. See my video. Not a great video but shows the quality of the video. Also, the buttons hard to press and almost impossible with gloves on.

Compact camera that is easy to operate. Controls are on top of the unit with small buttons. Hard to see display makes it difficult to be sure what mode is camera in. A flashlight comes in handy. Provides nice quality video in the correct lighting.
the atc2k 2008-03-20
Ok the atc2k is like all the other reviews say you get what you pay for. The cam is i think really good but you need to have a good light sorce or you get really crappy video. Anouther thing YOU SHOUD REALLY GET A 2GB SD CARD or else youl have onley 52 sec of vid time on 30fps and the highest cwaluty you can get. The waterprof thing i think is really cool especuley when your aroung girls. jk lol. On a sirus note the clip thats attached to the cam is very sharp so be carfull and its very fragiull. Igot my cam on thursday march 13 and the clip broke 3 days latter. Iwas not happy at all with that i barely droped it on accedent and it just broke off a pice of it. Ok that was dissapointing but the cam makes up for it. Ireally like the cam a lot. I really think this cam was the coolest and best thing i have ever spent money on so i highley recomend it to any really active people who like to viedo stuff in extrem condeshons. I LOVE THIS CAM!
