As it says, creepy just got cheaper. For the life of me I can't think of a legit use for these that any other recording device won't fulfil, however this does seem to be a decent price.
It's Kogan though so who knows about the quality :-)
Note to self: Be suspicious of anyone wearing black sunglasses with a small hole in the bridge.
Note to self: paint glasses white.
jk
Must say, I misread what these were all about. Disappointed, I thought for a second they were like google glasses :)
God, I want those to come out right now
Note to self - pop the lenses out and just be a creepy hipster wearing fake heavy-framed spectacles (with a small hole in the bridge).
As for legitimate uses - pretty much anything where you don't have a free hand to hold a camera. It's just a dorky looking hands-free kit… if that's all you want from it.
I've been tempted to grab a pair to wear cycling (to get vids doing sweet jumps </napoleon_dynamite>).
Not going to mention POV porn. Oops.
the problem is easily solved if you punch said hipsters' glasses or sunglasses and break them.
Smaller camera hole, same stylishness, same creepiness
720 vs 1080
yep, pivot head are better and much much more expensive.
Do your research before you buy these. There are lots of them on ebay and they have different resolutions.
I am not saying these are expensive (or cheap) just there are lots of them around.
Good advice.
I got a set (from a different manufacturer/ supplier) for off-road bike riding but haven't been able to determine the UV protection rating or what protection they offer my eyes from a day in the sun.
I wonder how obvious the camera hole looks in real
The blinking red and blue LED indicator lights are a bit of a giveaway.
LOL
Sample vid ?
I can think of a legitimate use for these - recording while you drive. They'd be great for trips to the track, or even just firing up when you see something about to go down (like road rage) as you drive. I assume starting and stopping recording is as easy as hitting a button so you can keep them on as normal sunglasses and just tap the button when you see something cool. I mean I have a dashcam that is recording 24/7, but having the camera on your head makes it easier to keep the action in frame.
Alternatively, watching your kids soccer game or something. Easier than swinging a camera around…. just wear the glasses and watch the game :D
Wow, i am impressed. You actually managed to come up with not one, but two non creepy uses. I personally think this is one more gadget to your average gadget collector
Also, recording conversations with the wife. "You said…." checks recording No I didnt.
So thats pre-empting conversations with the soon to be "ex-wife"….
You know, even if you are right…you will be wrong.
Or recording other things with your wife…
"I often wear my sunglasses in bed honey…!"
Great, another thing you need to charge every night!
Great ideas there. If only battery life was longer than an hour.
Great for security or policing
How cool…."Gyno Goggles" :)
Remove the lens for less creepiness? Or at least swappable with clear lenses. You now have a dumb version of Glass.
Plastic
I think this is a preview; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-EB76LQIuY
Actually this is a different camera.
I think this would be better; http://www.dhgate.com/product/720p-hd-spy-sunglasses-sport-glasses-hidden/138755438.html#s1-1-1|897578470
I think this was their older / original model, these "new" ones are 720p and hopefully a bit better?
Great tiny pinhole camera.
Could be used for candid videos and the like.
Is this a special price or RRP?
Wow! They are even styled like the sunglasses that a certain kind of person wears when they want to ogle others & think that nobody can see what they are doing. Super Creepy!!
On a side note. I saw Ruslan do a talk last night about the rise of his business. He mentioned OzBargain at least 3 times :)
