Hi Pentaxian friends.

Inspector Gadget brings two new discoveries this week. They were found on Conceptual Gadgets

In-Car Journey Recorder is designed to affix to the windshield to record the road ahead, not the driver. It uses a 1.3M CMOS image sensor, which can record video footage for your insurance or lawyer in case of an accident. Now you have proof that it really wasn’t your fault in a collision case, when it’s your word against someone else.

The In-Car Journey Recorder records to an SD card for up to 2GB capacity, which is good for up to 18 hours worth of video footage. It can capture intervals between 2-3 seconds and 3 minutes.

Sometimes, you see something that is worth photographing. If you don’t have a camera on you, many take my their two fingers and make an L-shapes and frame the subject in question. It’s the same thing you see directors do on television.

A Japanese designer named Mac Funamizu is currently designing a camera of the future that works on this age-old finger principle. The camera is put in a pair of sunglasses, and what you see here is what the user is seeing through the sunglasses.

Funamizu’s camera works by putting your fingers in the place where you would want to frame your subject. Then you take your picture with a wink. That is a literal wink by the way, as in you shut your left eye, and the picture is taken in your literal hand frame.

Hi Pentaxian friends.

Every Tuesday from now on, I will search the Internet and post new gadgets that could help you become a better photographer. All will be worthy of Inspector Gadget's approval.

I found this on the Internet and thought it could be of interest for some of my readers.


The Third Eye Video Camera.Smaller than a golf ball, this ultralight spherical video camera attaches to a headband, providing a third eye while biking, hiking, or during other activities. The camera's sensor captures images at 320 x 240 resolution at 30 fps (the built-in microphone records audio). Up to 1,200 still images and six hours of video can be saved onto the included 8GB micro SD memory card. Images and video are downloaded to your PC via a USB cable (requires PC running Windows with USB 2.0). It can also be connected to a TV for viewing images and video using the included cable. The rechargeable battery provides up to 2 1/2 hours of continuous operation from an eight-hour charge using the included USB cable. The camera can also be set to record images and video when it detects movement, preserving battery life. Includes headband. 1 1/2" sphere. (1 1/4 oz.) Item 76427 ................... $299.95
Available for Immediate Shipment.

You could make a video of yourself taking pictures while explaining what you are doing, a little like the Pentaxian photographers videos.
