    Video goggles? Get him a GoPro instead.

    what's GoPro - i spotted this ummm brand somewhere else but do not know what it is. if it's super hitech hubby won't like it. he still doesn't have a cell phone (yes i said no cell phone).

    i found 100% and Scott they are just goggles not camera goggles (sorry incorrectly called them video goggles lol) and i looked up gopro - don't think that's what he wants (mounted camera).

    A buddy of mine demo'd a pair of video goggles (snowmobiling) and they actually worked pretty good, but they were made for skiers and didn't fit very well in the helmet. One nice thing about them was they fit under the helmet visor. But I would suggest either the GoPro or the Contour (that's the helmet cam I have) as they have alot more mounting flexibility.

    do you know anything about this series? liquid impact is the only brand i've found online for camera goggles - i was going to purchase a pair until i noticed there were a lot of bullet points about different eye coverings (snowmobile, water, motorcross, etc). once i read this i was all confused.

    Any goggles with a built-in camera, whether stills or video, are going to be low resolution and not worth the money, in my opinion. There may be some out there that are nice, but I don't know of any. Good luck in your search.

    this is good information - thank you. the only time he's tried to video his rides is when he took my digital camera and mounted it to his helmet. it actually worked for a few minutes until it took too bumpy for the camera.

    They make all sorts of mounts for the GoPro. It'll also let him mount it in other positions or use it for other sports as well.

    If you want a camera GoPro is the only choice really.
    Well not the only, but the best for sure.
