Barbara and I are planning a pretty adventurous trip (more on that later) that will involve some moments when I will wish that both my hands are free. Since I usually have a camera of some sort attached to my hand and I intend to shoot extensive video during this trip, I searched for a solution. I decided against a GoPro because I didn’t want a camera strapped to my head and not know if it was aimed properly or not be certain if it was running when it should be.
I also didn’t want to pay $1500 for Google Glass.
I searched around online and found iVUE Video Glasses. The model I selected has a choice of recording resolutions of 1920x1080p@30 fps or1280x720@60fps. The glasses are light weight, fit securely and have audio and visual indicators so you know when the camera is running. Exposure, white balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness and more are adjustable or you can choose default or automatic settings. The glasses are moderately weather resistant and the frames seem tough and sturdy.
Here is my first test of the glasses, ending with a visit with Fred Bodin who was more interested in playing with my Fuji X-T1.
Good Morning Gloucester
