A Action Cam made for the outdoors, Waterproof and shock resistant!

Weill folks, I just bought my first Cam. Its a Tachyon XC Extreme Camera. Its not made to take the place of those big fancy Pro Camcorders or even the Home Cams. I could have bought a regular home cam but i know it wouldn't hold up in the outdoors with the dirt and rain. The tachyon is Waterproof to a depth of 28 ft. so snorkelers, Kayaks, swimmers can stick this on there boats, surf boards, on the helmets, on your car on the Motorcycle or mountain bikes, etc. the list goes on. The Tachyon is also made to be shock resistant. The camera comes with 4-5 types of mounts. I am using th side plate to attach the Cam to the left side of my Bow. And it Works!. The Speakers are internal because of the Waterproofing. Si you can barely hear me talk. But if i want to and I'm not in water, i can leave the rear door open and you can hear me speaking clearly. I even fired my bow several times with the door open. It didn't damage the door. I am posting some pics of the tachyon on my bow and also a trial Video i made. This is the first time I've done anything like this, so please be nice and constructive. I mainly wanted to show people ways of using the Tachyon. This is a versatile Cam. You can use it even as a nanny cam or for watching the Babysitter?. contac tachyoninc.com for more info

people have been very interested in this Action Cam. people are asking me to use it in a car while driving on the highway. they are worried about pixelation. It never pixelated. I'm in ove with this action cam. Its ready to film my spot and stalk hunts.

Reminder to my fellow Archers. Check your Game laws concerning attaching any electronic devices to your bow!.

Well, The first day of turkey season is in the books. No Tom Turkey. The day before, i was dodging him strutting in the middle of the road. Now that the season has started. They are gone. Who taught the turkeys how to read the regs?!. . Anyways. I'm still messing around with my tachyon XC cam. I had to take it off my bow for now. Game regs state NO Electronic Devices are allowed on a bow. I'm double checking with the Wild life officer. But here's a Video i made of my 8 hr. hunt day into a few minutes. I saw many Muleys, i had a turkey hen fly over my head in a canyon. Atleast there are 44 more days of turkey hunting!.
