While at the SHOT Show last week, I had the chance to meet the folks from Sportsman Eyewear. In addition to being really great people, they are selling a fantastic product called the Sportsman 720T.
Essentially, this product is a pair of sunglasses with a built-in video recorder.
The camera records at 720×480 resolution at up to 35 fps, with about four hours of video fitting onto a single 4 GB MicroSD card. The recorder is rechargeable via USB, and will run up to five hours on one charge. Yes, it records audio with the video. So, it is perfect for recording field interviews and the like.
I’ll be testing these on duty and in training. I think that they will offer an awesome “first person” view of some of the training we are working on. As I use the glasses over the coming weeks, I’ll post video samples here on the site.

Great review of the 720T’s from http://www.HandsFreeVideo.com. I am looking forward to seeing the footage you “capture” from the glasses. I am hoping to make it to the range this weekend if the snow lets up a bit and start the process of collecting shooting footage for various purposes.
Stay safe buddy!

Great video!
Does the micro-SD card require an adapter to download to a computer?
A USB adapter is included with the glasses, and you can also download directly from the glasses with a USB cable.
Richard,
Loved the review that you did on these. I can definitely see the advantages that you pointed out when dealing with a subject and capturing their statements. Looking forward to further reviews on this once you get them tested out.
