2013-10-21
hey there i'm josh goldman with cnet and if you're interested in shooting hands-free video but don't feel like dealing with housings and mounts you can pick up a pair of these the Cyclops gear CG life 2 HD video glasses this tiny protruding camera in front right between the eyes is capable of capturing video at up to 1920 x 1080 at 25 frames per second and snapping 15 megapixel photos though that's an interpolated resolution as its CMOS sensor is 5 megapixels still you need only press this button on the left to start recording video in avi format to a micro SD card the default recording resolution is 1440 x 1080 at 30 frames per second and the results are ok nothing you'd want to look too closely at but passable for viewing on mobile devices and its small sizes it's not great in low-light so you'll definitely want to have as much light as possible too and quite possibly keep your head tilted to the left as all of my video was slightly slanted down to the right you can record at 720p or full HD but to change settings you have to connect them to a computer and save a text document to a microSD card also while it has a micro USB port it's not the kind used by most mobile devices they are lightweight though and the polarized lenses are easily removed if you want to record when you have less light cyclops gear sells these for about a hundred and fifty dollars on its site but if you can do without the branding a quick ebay search for HD video sunglasses turns up a generic pair for around 90 bucks regardless of where you get them for no fuss hands-free video they'll do the trick I'm Josh Coleman and that's a look at the cyclops gear cg life to 1080p HD new glasses
