Elmo’s POV Camera

Elmo’s new Point Of View (pov) camera stuns all who use it including some of the worlds top athletes. With the usability and functionality the Elmo SUV-Cam 2 is one of the most advanced POV cameras on the today. Extended recording times are possibly thank to the SDHC storage card and quick one push recording. Its easy to see why the the SUV-Cam 2 is a top choice for world renowned drivers, athletes and extreme sports figures.

The SUV-Cam2 supports the new high capacity sd card which has a standard of two gb or higher. This means that with a 16 gb SDHC it can record 704×480 resolution with high video quality and at 25 frames per second it will record 8hrs and 56mins of video. The Elmo POV also comes with an improvement on the head design itself. The camera head has a lens stabilizer inside the camera to protect against loss of focus during intense vibration. This feature on the camera head makes this a perfect fit for vehicle applications such as handlebars on a dirt bike or ATV or dash mounted on a jeep or truck.

SUV-Cam2 is the perfect camera to be mounted to a helmet, car, rocket, bike, and many other surfaces and is great for security applications that need a small hidden out of the way camera. For example surveillance in a location where no normal camera would fit and no normal camera would operate is at a car wash. The Suv-Cam2 can fit right in the dive thru and is water proof.Elmo’s Suv-Cam2 is great for POV shots, security applications, small tight survalence applications and anything else you can think up.
