Jumping off high things, skiing down a mountain in a blizzard, surfing a 20-foot wave - these activities aren't for everybody.
However if you are a member of that exciting breed known as an "extreme sport enthusiast", you'll want to get your hands on the Oregon Scientific Waterproof Action Cam.
Up until the arrival of the Action Cam, cameras that could safely film extreme sport activity were pretty much the domain of professionals making documentaries and so on, given the hefty price tags. However Oregon Scientific claims its Waterproof Action Cam is the world's first waterproof and shockproof hands-free digital video camera for amateurs.
It comes equipped with mounting equipment for handlebars, helmets, your arm and more. This means you can strap the camera on and capture all the action from a first-hand perspective as you're skiing, surfing or jumping out of a plane. It can even go underwater.
It films in resolutions of either 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 and at either 30 frames per second or 15 frames per second (30fps will give you a smoother recording while 15 will give you more recording time). The image quality is surprisingly good, too, considering its recommended retail price is just $199.
The Action Cam comes with USB and RCA cables included so you can play your footage back on a TV or computer.
