Brag Worthy Christmas ~ Think Geek Video Swim Mask Review

The seaweed is always greener

“Little did you know, all the underwater scenes in The Little Mermaid were filmed using Video Swim Masks. (You see, the local Merpeople Videographers Union 42 refused to work the project, so humans had to be used.) The scuba diver crewmen couldn’t handle all their gear and their video cameras, so the great Mouse himself outfitted them with these stylin’ yellow masks and told them to go forth and shoot all of the magic that happens under the sea. Take it from us, darling, it’s better down where it’s wetter and you’d better be wearing the mask that lets you capture video of the fishes dancing to the hot crustacean band. This is the world’s only swim mask with an integrated waterproof digital camera that works swimmingly in pools, lakes, or the ocean. Keep your hands free as you swim all the way to a depth of 15 feet! Turn the camera on, choose a mode (video or still) with the upper button, and press the shutter to record pictures or video. The friendly LED inside the mask lets you know which mode you’ve selected. Downloading images once you’ve gotten your land legs is simple – just plug the mask into your computer’s USB port with the included cable. There’s even software included that allows you to edit your content. The built-in 16 MB memory can store up to 27 high resolution pictures or up to 52 seconds of video. A microSD card slot allows you to expand memory up to 2GB for additional pictures or videos.”-Think Geek

My little brother is a fish. He swims everyday and loves being in the water. when I saw the Video Swim Mask on the Think Geek website I knew I had to get it for him. He thought it was so awesome when I gave it to him. He said he had never seen anything like it. He used it in his swimming pool. It was really fun watching him take pictures and video underwater and them putting them on the computer and seeing how they turned out. I love that it comes with the batteries needed to operate it. He likes how easy it is to use. The crosshairs help him to know what will be in the picture and the LED helps him to know which mode (still or video) he is in. But the best part is this under water camera is completely hands free. It’s so cool! He loves it and I highly recommend it as a gift!
