The VIO POV1.5 is the latest offering from VIO - it uses the same high quality recording unit that is used with the POV1 and comes with a different camera head and accessories package. The new "Red Head" is shorter than that the POV1 helmet camera head and is permanently attached to the 1.5 metre digital cable.

The POV1.5 comes pre-loaded with the firmware upgrade that allows you to use up to an 8GB Sd card and the POV1.5 comes with its own 4GB SD card, which will hold 3 hours of footage on the highest quality settings.

Mounting options are also different with the POV1.5 - you get the new Star Mount which can be used for helmet mounting, as well as hat mounting using the supplied magnets. A Double Hook and Loop Mount is included to allow mounting your helmet camera to vented helmet mounts and small diameter tubes.

Ready to go out of the box, the POV1.5 comes as a complete kit that will get you capturing video straight away. The POV1.5 comes in its own carry case and includes:

Here's what 2005 Australian Rally Champion Dale Moscatt thinks of the RaceRecall & the POV.1.5

"I have been involved in motorsport for fifteen years now and have fumbled around with numerous different cameras and setups during that time. I can honestly say this is not only the most compact and user friendly unit that I've used but also the ONLY one that I have not had a problem with. The POV has both the best quality picture and with the least amount of fuss, so as a professional co-driver this reliability is paramount for me and it's because of this that there is now no decision to be made for both which camera I use and recommend. it makes a very pleasant change indeed to be dealing with someone in this day and age that still cares about the customer and the service they are providing."
