Just been using these AV920 screen goggles with a camcorder and WOW!!!
http://www.firebox.com/product/2029/Vuzix-iWear Sorry to be a pusher of the commercial stuff, but these things are amazing. Plugged them in to the back of our camcorder and set it on night-vision. I was walking around the house, with just the street lights coming in through curtains, and it was like being in Silence of the lambs. :-) Well worth a Christmas gift for someone who likes video photography and stuff. |

Have you tried that novel thing that's catching on lately at night? Sleep. |

It should say "equivalent to a fuzzy 50" screen" I was happy them. I have been showing them around today, and everyone was saying how clear the picture was on them. I'm like a kid with an early Christmas present, but they are actually for our engineers on CCTv jobs. Just looking for a string to tie them around their necks so they don't fall off. I wanted their hands free for focus adjustment and things, and someone told me about these specs with Tv screens in them. Going way to Sci-Fi me thinks, until I tried these out for myself. Have now ordered another four. The guys can then trim the cameras without having to bring those mini-screens with them. Just pop the specs on and go. They all seem happy with them today. |
