I bought this camera for a paintballing session in Bawtry, nr Sheffield. Unfortunately, the helmet bit was missing when I ordered it so I couldn't get any video to post on the site. I called Firebox and told them the situation and the next morning the missing part was delivered in the post. Excellent customer service. Thanks guys, I'll make sure I go paintballing again soon and send some clips to you.

Dear ATC-2K users, Thank you for your reviews and comments on the ATC-2K, they are extremely valuable to us. We would like to answer a few of your questions and give some more specifics about the ATC-2K action camera through this statement. · ATC-2K can accept SD cards 8MB to 2GB. We recommend SanDisk SD cards and AData SD cards. · Please ensure you insert your SD card with connect terminals facing up. This means, with the LCD screen facing you turn your SD card label side down/terminals up and insert it. · The SD card must be formatted to FAT(FAT16). · Ensure your camera is switched off before inserting/removing the SD card or batteries. · We recommend users familiarize themselves with the button positions and sounds when pressed. · The ATC-2K is waterproof to 3m/10ft. Please ensure the O-rings have been properly greased. · The ATC-2K is intended for use with extreme sports. We have deliberately designed the ATC-2K with this purpose in mind and thus have made the microphone less sensitive. Through research and experience we have found that users would rather add their own music or commentary after their activity as opposed to trying to commentate live. · The ATC-2K uses 2 x AA Alkaline batteries however; we advise that users change to Lithium batteries during cold weather usage for longer recording time. We have a Cold Weather Pouch for the ATC-2K camera for use in cold weather. Please check our website for availability. For troubleshooting please refer to the manual. You are welcome to send any further comments to atc@oregonscientific.com Best Regards, ATC support team.

This is a fab bit of kit. Really neat and user friendly, you just can't go wrong. The quality is good, I use it on my motorbike and it records well at high speeds and being waterproof you don't need to worry if it rains.

I have just received my ATC3k and I am more than happy with it. What a bargain! The amount of extra bits you get to mount the camera are ace! Tried it this morning on the way in to work from inside the car mounted on the window screen. The noise was terrible saying it was inside the car the microphone picked up the road vibration through the glass so the audio is not usable. However the picture was excellent. I recorded for about 35 - 40 minutes and the video size was 936MB. I haven't tried it on my motorbike yet but I imagine the audio will be worse but tbh the picture makes up for it. The build quality of the camera is very good too and the water seals seem adequate. Overall great camera for the money and I would recommend it. I have been using a microSD card in an SD adapter and it works fine. Although this is not a support method according to the manufacturer. It work though! One thing to note, remove the SD card to transfer the movies off its far too slow to transfer via the camera.

This is a great little video camera for using with sports. It is tough and waterproof so can be used in many situations. The video quality isn't great but more then acceptable for this style of camera. The only things that aren't right about it is the placement of the microphone (underneath the unit?!). Also, there is no way to preview what you are recording, the video output only works for playback, so practise using it to get an idea of what it is actually looking at. On the whole, a good camera that does all that is needed of it, in a tough rugged casing!

This is a great gadget, it's handy to have on you bike incase you think somthing cool is going to happen. Like the acrobatic video.

Top top toy for skiing... Be warned though you need to be very steady aiming the camera if you helmet mount it. It's very easy to get sky or ground shots. Best handheld, which kind of defeats the object. You also need to be careful about temp. Std. SD cards don't freeze well. I had to rescue mine by holding in warm hands for 10 mins until it would play. Keep the camera in an inside pocket when not in use.

How long can you film for with a 2gb sd card?
Firebox says: Hi Andy, it will store around 60 minutes of footage to a 2GB memory card at maximum resolution (640 x 480) at 30 fps (frames per second).
