New Zealand Gold Prospecting & Metal Detecting Forums Archive

Came across this scanning no reserve auctions on Trademe - I put it on my watchlist and just got offered a buy now of $82. I think it would be great for prospectors who want to capture that magic moment.

It's a camera you mount on your hat/helmet and it records at 640x480 @ 30 FPS (Frames per second) to a 32GB SD card (not sure if card included). I am pretty sure it picks up audio from 10 feet too although the seller has not written that; this is either a different model to another one I have read about, or .. not sure.

Example video of the quality is shown here:

Keyword Search on Trademe:

Expired auction which may give a relist link:

Sellers name:
pr1ncess (23,000 sales). Mt Wellington.


I will update this when the seller answers some questions (Audio and SD Card).
Update: SD card is optional, it records audio as well, it can record 2-3 hours with good quality battery, it is water resistant

p.s. not sure if it will cause brain tumours Colin :)
