VIO POV.1

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Last weeks pool session gave me a chance to check out a new video system, the VIO POV.1 (click here). VIO is a company that is surprisingly located in Marquette. It initially started out similar to YouTube as a place to upload and view video shot in the outdoors. Lots of mountain biking video was there. Eventually the founder, Dave O., decided to develop their own systems.

Here is a clip shot at last weeks session using the POV.1:

It is waterproof and built to military specs. Turns out it is being used in Iraq as some previous VIO customers are over there in the military.

Excited about the possibilities this offers both during instructor classes and during trips. Just need to come up to speed on working with video.
