look at the specs. Its practically a **** webcam slid inbetween a pair of sunglasses. it can't even record at VGA. it probably cost next to nothing for the little webcam, and the same for the glasses. Doesn't look like a worthy purchase IMO. being from Hong Kong, you wont have very good customer service, and delivery would take its time.

I'd hate to try and put them on - look at the size of the side units, you'd need a helmet two sizes bigger.

for the same kind of money I'd be buying one of these. No idea what they're like so if decide to buy it's at your own risk!

Which is irrelevant, but would still actually be very good for a video camera.
What is relevant is 320 * 240 @ 30fps. However that doesn't say the whole story still, as units like the ATC still don't look great with better specs than that.
My current favourite recording system is an Archos 405 with associated bullet camera. Bit more, but acceptable quality (if you occasionally check the focus of the lens and a flexible solution.)

ATC2K's are a bit hit and miss- nowhere near as good as proper 520 line bullet cams mated to a solid state recorder. Must be the associated digital lens technology between cheaper cameras which utilise a rolling sensor and proper bullet cams which use CCD technology, except in a more compact form. I've got a few vids of ATC2K. I think G was adequately surpised by the quality of the video on my facebook - Graham88's vids using his more expensive kit illustrated the difference, it's like night and day.
