When I saw this camera in Windsurfing Magazine I ordered it right away. On-the-water video for under $200? It sounded like fun. I somehow missed the words "not compatible with Apple Macintosh computers" but that's okay because they somehow missed that it works just fine with Macs. The Oregon Scientific Waterproof Action Helmet Cam, also known as the ATC 2000 or ATC 2K ($120) will shoot an hour of high-quality video and piss-poor audio, recording to a memory card (purchase seperately for $70.) It comes with a bunch of rubber and velcro straps, and a "handlebar" mount. I immediately set up the helmet headband and attached the thing to my Gath helmet, but the camera bounced every time I took a step, as the round helmet surface acted as a fulcrum against the flat back of the strap mount. I'll be tinkering to develop a more stable helmet mount as soon as my chores are done (perhaps 2009, maybe sooner.) So I popped the handlebar mount on a boom and went out to play. The big lesson: conference call tips he camera must be aimed taking account for the rig being raked back for planing. In the video clip below you can see both top mount and a mount about half way down the side (see photo). I found aiming about two feet below the mast (in this case, what I estimated to be the position of the harness hook) provided the best forward view. If you try this yourself, remember that every time you adjust the camera mount angle you need to also make sure that the camera is still level. A note on sound...

Charles Jacobs just sent me this piece he wrote on that travesty that went down at Brandeis with that pathetic excuse for a dhimma, Jimma. Paradigm-Shift It was not a stellar moment in Jewish history. Jimmy Carter, whose book “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid” is an international billboard against Israel, got a standing ovation at Brandeis. To a huge, mostly Jewish audience, Carter explained “apartheid” referred to the condition of Palestinians in the territories, not in Israel proper. He stands by the title, this little confusion notwithstanding, because it was meant to provoke “dialogue,” he told the Brandeisians. But at Brandeis, dialogue was not in the works. It was not allowed. Only pre-screened questions – and no rebuttals to any of his answers – were permitted. No one was able to effectively challenge anything Carter said. The Jews in Boston were thrilled – or so the press reported – that Carter apologized for writing in his book that the Palestinians should cease their terror attacks only after the Israelis made concessions he deemed suitable. No, he said, he was against terror. The sentence was a “stupid mistake,” his publisher would remove it from any next editions. Nice. Thank you. As denon audio video lan Dershowitz pointed out, there are really two Carters – the one who speaks to Jews at Brandeis and the one on Al-Jazeera, Arab TV, who enunciates his opinions about terror in a way that might not get Jewish applause. Sounds like Yaser Arafat “I don’t consider ...
