Helmet Camera for the expert in you

March 27th, 2010

You might phone it the following best issue to becoming there.

In what guarantees being a stunning space-program principal, NASA spacewalkers Joe Tanner and Carlos Noriega will put on “helmet-cams” while in shuttle Endeavours upcoming construction mission on the International Area Stop.

Armchair astronauts, consequently, could have an unprecedented opportunity to vicariously tag along as the spacewalkers scale the 13-story stop throughout a dramatic bid to improve a $600 million electrical power tower on the increasing outpost.

“We phone them the `Joe Cam and also the `Carlos Cam,” Tanner shared with Place.com  during a current interview at NASAs Johnson Place Center in Houston, Texas. “I imagine its planning to be the largest point. I imagine folks are planning to be glued on the television, and I just pray that weve obtained lots of [satellite TV] coverage because its planning to be absolutely amazing.”

Tanner, Noriega and three other astronauts are scheduled to board Endeavour and blast off Thursday from NASAs Kennedy Space Middle, setting sail on the two-day trip for the station, which is now occupied by its initially full-time resident crew.

Over the next week, the pair plans to perform a trio of spacewalks mainly aimed at mounting a giant pair of solar panels that will stretch some 240 feet (73 meters) from suggestion to suggestion once unfurled in space. Their component among the work will involve scurrying up to the main among the towering station to support install a massive girder-like truss that houses the folded up arrays, the mast they shall be deployed upon, and involved gadgets.

Within other points, the spacewalkers can be crawling across the outside you get with the station to wire up the solar panels to ensure that electrical energy created by them can be routed in to the outpost to operate crucial devices. All of the even though, Tanner and Noriega each might be putting on helmets outfitted with 3 lipstick cameras comparable to those people worn by professional football players, or mounted within racecars about the NASCAR circuit. Noriega said he expects that footage beamed back to Earth and broadcast on NASA Television which can be carried live on Place.com will prove to get eye opening in the terribly least.

~

“Youre gonna be able to see the genuine size [of the station],” Noriega explained to Room.com. Especially breathtaking must be the look at from over since the spacewalkers perched atop the outpost gaze back again down for their shuttle mothership some 90 ft (27.3 meters) below. “You can see the entire orbiter and recognize how much at bay we honestly are, and I think thats going to make the earliest major impression,” Noriega explained.

Identical to modest cameras NASA uses to capture “inside the cockpit” and “final approach” footage through shuttle launches and landings, the helmet-cams have apparent public relations value. But equally Tanner and Noriega say the wireless video technique also offers the place agency with an critical engineering device.

While using station starting to expand at a rapid pace, NASA no longer might be in a position to rely on shuttle cargo bay and robot arm cameras to get up close photographs when one thing seems for being amiss through a spacewalk.

Say, for example, spacewalkers functioning on the number one of the station run into difficulty connecting electrical cables. Devoid of the helmet-cams, spacewalkers may ought to expend a lengthy time attempting to describe the apparent trouble to ground controllers to arrive up using a treatment.

“You dont want to clobber the airwaves describing a dilemma. Now while using cameras, you could rapidly have the message across as to what youre understanding,” Noriega mentioned. Added Tanner: “Its a instrument for engineering and operations that has been required to get a long time.”

The helmet-cams, even so, do existing a couple of potential drawbacks.

Primary, for that sake you get with the viewing public, Tanner and Noriega will have got to consciously stay away from quick, jerky actions during their spacewalking perform outside the stop. “We promise to create all our movements good and sluggish and steady so nobody will get unwell searching in the photographs,” Tanner joked.

There’s been another volley during the compact point-of-view digital camera wars—this newest round coming from VholdR (formerly known as Twenty20), which can be staking claim because the first company to offer High definition capability inside a helmet digital camera.

The new pattern utilizes the exact same fundamentals chassis as Vholdr’s prior pattern but adds high-definition ability plus a wide-angle lens option—a significantly usable 135-degree area of view. The $300 device utilizes a rechargeable cell-phone-style lithium ion electric battery and documents to an up-to 16GB Micro SD greeting card. The overall device is self contained, and setup is aided by two positioning lasers mounted to a rotating bezel for the front of that camera.

Simply affix the photographic camera for your helmet or handlebar, square up the two reference lasers degree while using horizon, and flip a big easy-to-use magnetic switch and listen for your one-beep or two-beep audio cue that indicates whether recording is commencing, or stopping, respectively.

In Hi-def mode, the photographic camera documents to a 16:9 factor ratio at thirty frames a 2nd, spitting out 1280×720 pixel footage. In an optional “High Action” mode, the photographic camera files at a blisteringly fast sixty frames a 2nd, but not in Hi-def.

The photographic camera comes regular with a sticky-mount plus a goggle strap mount, but most riders will prefer to glance into buying the vented helmet install plus the handlebar/seatpost install (pictured under), both of that are aftermarket add-ons accessible via the company’s net website, and never bundled while in the $300 base selling price.

A single to the really first Contour Hd cameras discovered its way onto Lars Sternberg's helmet, as he adopted GT rider Bryn Atikinson down the DH training at Sea Otter this month. You realize the camera is superb when it creates a exercise operate at Laguna Seca appearance smart.

An even bigger potential downside, while, is the mere fact how the whole world may have immediate and unprecedented insight into your astronauts work efficiency. “Im not sure if thats decent or poor,” Tanner mentioned, “but youll be capable to adhere to the spacewalk proper alongside with what had been performing.”

It looked high quality but I don't consider I'd acquire it, supplied the fact I usually do not have an HDTV nor did the movie look that remarkable above almost every other footage I have observed from movies/youtube and what have you.

Hi-def is actually a major distinction so no it won't glimpse like something you have witnessed on youtube considering that there is not any Hd helmet photographic camera footage on facebook unless of course people today ductaped an Hd camcorder to their head, and that is a scary experience in its own proper.

Correct Hi-def is in fact 1920 x 1080.
Posted Mon Might four, 2009, 4:20 AM — By Benny
Yes, 720 is low grade Hd, but generally accepted as Hi-def to ensure that component is all right. Sadly, I consider the video looks pretty bad. Color saturation and accuracy are good, however the compression they're utilizing is very higher. There genuinely is notably tiny detail considering it's Hd. Yea the picture itself is considerable, but a freeze frame yields a painted seeking graphic (no detail within a dirt, and so on). That is due to the fact that they are obtaining saving the movie at 2GB/Hour. The little bit data transfer rate they are employing to obtain that length of recording is pretty reduced. I would like they would use a increased bit pace (Canon's HV20 save 7GB of statistics for every hour at 720) and less compression… perhaps yielding 6GB every hour of recording. A 16GB memory greeting card could nevertheless do 2.five hours of video. A lot.

HP Mini-110 1030NR 10.1″ Netbook

March 17th, 2010

NetBook Acer One HP Mininote Asus eee Pc by ScoutBuck

What does one do when you currently have 2-3 well-received netbooks? You make one more 1, naturally. And sure as Shadrach, HP is pursuing up about the success of its consumer-friendly Small 1000 and business-centric Tiny 2140 netbooks (not to mention its designer-minded Little 1000 Vivienne Tam) considering the HP Micro 110. We received a unit shortly prior to the news broke, so we can not offer you a entire evaluate yet, but here's a quick take subsequent an afternoon of playing round with HP's newest netbook.

The large distinction between the new design and its predecessors is really a few hundred bucks. Offered on June 10, the Small 100 XP (accessible in “Black Swirl”) will sell for $329, whilst the 110 Mi edition (Linux-based) starts at $279. Examine those rates considering the $549 tag to the Mini 1000 that we reviewed seven months ago.

The hardware hasn't changed considerably: The Mini 110 carries the similar CPU, the same RAM config, the similar tricky generate, the very same awesomely good sized 92-percent keyboard–even the exact crummy mouse button layout which is been driving me bonkers because HP introduced it around the HP Minuscule 2133. The new product also arrives loaded having a three-cell battery–as did the Miniature 1000, which lasted only 2 several hours, 47 minutes over a charge. (Travelers' advisory: Contemplate popping an additional 40 bones for that BX06 Micro Battery to choose up somewhat added on-the-go gusto.)

What do you gain and what can you get rid of with this a little more affordable design? Nicely, HP swaps out the multimedia dongle port in favor of the built-in VGA port (additionally a built-in RJ-45 ethernet jack for excellent measure). The sweet-looking speaker grille planted inside the 1000's hinge is absent from the 110, replaced by a horrid-sounding speaker mounted beneath the display. That display provides a ten.1-inch-diagonal image using a native resolution of 1024 by 576, as well as the slick edge-to-edge plastic material cover has has vanished in favor of a huge plastic bezel that causes the Micro 110 glimpse such as the adore child from the Micro 1000 as well as the Acer Aspire One.

Upgrade alternatives exist, effortlessly: 802.11b/g not sufficient, and also you want instant WAN? Accomplished. Demand this netbook in “White Swirl” or “Pink Chic”? As of July 8, people colors are going to be presented. Feeling cramped? You are able to slot in a 250GB difficult generate and enhance the RAM to 2GB.

I also understand the Mini 110's software program assortment, that is definitely slightly way more robust than the common feeble bloatware. For example, Syncables permits you to sync five PCs on the network. We'll have significantly more to report at the software program bundle when our entire examine with the Small 110 goes stay.

Otherwise, this appears just like a a bit thicker, economy-class version of last year's style. The 110 steps ten.three by 6.six by one.two inches and weighs two.33 lbs, in comparison at the Mini 1000's 10.3 by 6.6 by 0.99 inches and two.25 fat. And that isn't a poor trade-off for this extras within the machine–and the more affordable price.

It may not be illegal to tuck your kids into bed via iChat while taking advantage of United's in-flight WiFi, but that didn't stop a flight attendant from ending John Battelle's (admittedly precious) use of the service during a flight two days ago. It seems that the airline has a policy that prohibits “two-way devices” from communicating with the ground — you know, in case some terrorists board the plane and try some shenanigans. Apparently a laptop with WiFi isn't considered a “two-way device,” until you throw videoconferencing apps like Skype into the mix. Somehow, it seems, the company missed Apple iChat when blocking ports, thus enabling the whole affair. Let this be a lesson to those of you with children: save the chats for the hotel room or the airport lobby, eh?

We should all be pretty familiar with the specs of Canon's latest mainstream DSLR, so let's skip past the new 18 megapixel CMOS sensor, SDXC memory card compatibility and high-res 3-inch LCD screen, and just focus on the one area where the Rebel T2i has a shot at matching the EOS 7D: 1080p video. Ron Risman of Cameratown has perched the two black-clad champs atop a tripod, installed identical (for the purposes of the test) lenses on them, and gone to town with testing the ISO performance of the two bodies. As he sees it, there's no perceptible difference between the two up to ISO 1600, though looking at his video test we're also hard pressed to distinguish any notable discrepancies at the maximum 6400 setting. Needless to say, the conclusion is that if you're just after the 7D's video performance with a smaller price tag, the Rebel T2i / 550D is the shooter for you. To make that decision as informed as possible, there's also a feature comparison list, so skip along to the source link to get informed.

Above, you see a Samsung NX10 with an adapter that lets you put almost any lens on the front, from Nikon, Minolta, Canon, Leica and others. The adapter could be the most disruptive widget in the camera market.

There’s one thread running through the PMA photography trade show this year: mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras. These cameras, pioneered by Olympus and Panasonic with their Micro Four Thirds format, have become very popular with pros and serious amateurs who want great results but don’t want to lug around a big DSLR. Samsung has already shown its commitment to its NX format with eight lenses announced in under two months, and Sony is also getting in on the game sometime this year with a mirrorless Alpha.

This is great news, but what does it mean for the DSLR, which has for years been the fastest growing sector of the camera market? A DSLR used to be the only way to go if you wanted a camera that had a big sensor and a reasonably responsive shutter. The other benefits, like interchangeable lenses, are arguably only there for the more serious. Take a look around you next time you’re in a tourist spot and you’ll see mostly sub-$1,000 SLRs with the kit zooms still on the front.

Now, those buyers can buy something like the Samsung NX10 or the Olympus Pen and have everything they need, in a much smaller package. This alone is enough to shake things up. But the adapter above, versions of which are also available for Micro Four Thirds cameras, is even more dangerous to the current market. You can now use pretty much any lens ever made on a modern digicam.

Adapters have been around for years, but they never worked well. The extra length they added to a lens meant that it would be mounted too far off the body, and couldn’t focus at infinity. But because these new cameras don’t have mirror boxes, their native lenses sit much closer to the sensor. Adapters, then, have to move DSLR lenses further away. This is why they work so well with these little cameras.

Traditionally, you never really bought into a camera brand. You bought into a range of lenses. Once you had a few grand’s worth of Nikon glass, you weren’t going to buy a Canon body. Now, if you’re willing to sacrifice some automation, you can swap as much as you like. For the enthusiast, this brings cheap old manual lenses back from the dead. Expect secondhand prices to rise.

Does this spell the end for the Nikon/Canon duumvirate? Not really. Both companies will surely release cameras soon, and they could have one big advantage. All they need to do is make their own adapters so that their legacy lenses can talk to the bodies, allowing autofocus and aperture control. That alone would make me buy a mirrorless Nikon in a second (I have a lot of Nikon glass).

The DSLR won’t die. But it could become a niche product, and the specialist tool of the professional.

@Freakin Ijit The physics of having a larger sensor result in substantially better image quality, and larger cameras are needed to place the make on a larger sensor. In addition, people want to use legacy lens mounts, and again physically there's limits to how small you make lenses when you have a big sensor.

Secondly, many enthusiasts and professionals prefer or require a larger, heavier camera. Ergonomics, placement of more buttons for manual controls, bigger and brighter viewfinders all make photography easier (if you're bothered to bring the big camera in the first place). In addition, many require big and heavy accessories such as a large, bright flash or a heavy lens with nicer glass, so sometimes the size of the camera is moot. Sometimes, your dedication to your art / craft outweighs the need for convenience.

Micro Four Thirds cameras aren't really that much smaller than the smallest DLRs, just less shorter (viewfinder cut off) and come with compact pancake lenses (you sacrifice zoom for those, amongst other things). Barely pocketable, I suppose.
