Tachyon Reveals OPS And OPS HD Helmet Cameras

Tachyon has been battling with GoPro and numerous others in the head-mounted camera game, which has suddenly become a lot more popular in the world's of extreme sports. Now, the company is introducing two more cameras, the world's smallest and lightest SD and HD helmet cameras. The Tachyon OPS and OPS HD are slated to be available this summer, and the company reportedly designed these from the ground-up.


The OPS weights one ounch, and measures just 0.95" in width/height, as well as 2.252" in length. The HD version is just a small bit larger. Each one has an eight-way mounting system, and it can face forward or backward towards the user. As with Tachyon's prior players, these also have one-button operation, which is great for gloved hands. The OPS line comes equipped with three standard mounts: A clip mount, with multiple angles of rotation. This mount is perfect for caps and straps and collars. A contour mount, for mounting to curved surfaces, such as motorcycle or bicycle helmets. And a standard tripod mount that will attach to any
¼-20 inch universal tripod screw. For more extreme activities, such as paintball and airsoft, and riding around dust and gravel, the OPS comes with a extremely durable piece of clear plastic impact armor, that fits snugly over the camera and mounts.

The new devices are also priced right. The OPS package is just $99.99, and the HD version is $50 more. If you've been looking to record your activities without having the hold anything, look no further.
