    I think I prefer the lid cam myself.

    I would be if I wore hats with a brim all season long but I don't.

    The lidcam did knock down the high pitch quite a bit and that was nice.

    Also, on the I-Kam, if you already wear glasses, do they make a I-Kam to fit over your prescription glasses?

    Would like to see that.


    I think the sound was a bit better with the lid cam but I dno't know that the picture quality was all that much better. I am curious how yellow that ceiling really was in that range because that was a clear difference in brightness. I like the lid cam but don't always wear ball caps so think the I-Kam suits me better.

    I have a pair of I-Kam camera glasses, brand new, never been used. Were given to me as a gift, but they don't fit my video needs. If anyone is looking for a pair, PM me and we'll make some kind of deal.

    Picked up my IKam today. Haven't gotten a chance to try them yet but will all weekend! They are very tight putting them on but very comfy! Looking forward to trying them!

    Tried them just around the yard this weekend since I didn't get out to hunt. Very happy with the video quality. If you are filming something up close like holding a fish I noticed the video is very high. You have to actually look down quite a bit to film what you want other then that so far so good. Will try it from a tree stand friday.

    Well I haven't gotten out to hunt with them yet but I did get in a ton of target practice and I am very dissapointed in the fact that I am unable to shoot with them on. I have to close my left eye to shoot and the nose piece on these are so big because it is where the camera is located so when I turn my head a slight bit to shoot the nose piece gets in the way of my vision. They will be great for guns, scouting and shed hunting but unfortunitely not for archery for me. I am however happy with the sound and picture quality. For a small cheap camera it isn't to bad.

    These are junk. I have seen them before branded under another name. Check out the Drift HD. I will be mounting mine on my bow for next season. http://driftinnovation.com/

    I have a pair of them, but i mounted them to the top of my hat with zip ties so that i can get the right angle of the shot. If you just wear them, you will get the woods instead of the animal you are shooting at. Took 10 minutes to set up and now the video is as if i had a camera man right behind me.
