Tachyon XC Facts:
Size
and Ease of Use
-
The Tachyon XC
easily fits into the
palm of your hand and weighs just 5.5 oz (including lithium
batteries). The Tachyon XC offers multiple mounting capabilities,
from helmets and goggles, to handlebars and dashboards. Its
remote control can easily start and stop recording even when wearing
gloves.
Durability
and Reliability
-
The
XC's patented shockproof system
ensures that videos will not be lost because of loose
batteries. (a very
common problem with other helmet
cameras).
-
The XC's
high-impact construction
gives you the confidence that even if you end up wrong-side down, your
camera will still be running when you get back up.
Waterproofing
-
Tachyon XC's
integrated
waterproofing design means that you can shoot video on the beach or
your boat and then jump into the water and head straight down to film
in the depths of the sea. No external waterproof casing is
required.
-
This
waterproofing also protects the
camera against spray, mud, grease, rain and snow.
Recording
Time & Video Quality
-
The XC's
high-dynamic image sensor
takes video of excellent quality, whether in the bright sunlight or in
normal indoor lighting.
-
Tachyon XC's
wide-angle lens most
closely matches the sweet spot of human vision, giving the user a wide
field of view without unnatural distortion.
-
The XC is the
only helmet camera on
the market that can use the full range of SDHC memory cards; from 4 to
32GB.
-
And because
the XC can make use of
these bigger cards , its video files are recorded without the same
compression that other cameras need to fit video onto their smaller
cards. This results in better quality video for XC users.
Time
Lapse Mode
-
Along with
great video, the Tachyon
XC's still-photo mode now shoots in time lapse; one photo every
second. This makes the XC the perfect tool for security (at home
or on the road), scouting/hunting, nanny watching, time-lapse movies,
and other special effects.
-
The Tachyon XC
connects to a
computer, via a USB cable, and to TVs (NTSC & PAL), with TV
cables. Both are included. Mac users may need a USB card
reader to transfer files to their computers.
-
The recorded
video files are in the
common .AVI format and are easily editable with most video editing
programs. They can be then uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, and other
video sharing sites.
