Forget it, the 442 will not record on battery power even with 3/4 of a full charge.
It shuts down claiming the battery is low on power.

Oh, that's a real shame. Am I correct in assuming that this is true for The Recorder 2 also? I know this isn't the correct forum for that question, but hopefully someone might know that also.

Hey there,

I am an avid paintballer, and I have been trying to come up with a solution for creating a "helmet cam" of sorts, without attaching a honking video recorder onto my helmet. Now, I've come across this PVR and it seems to be a really good solution to my problem, as there are several bullet sized cameras that can plug into this. However, I am concerned about a few things:

1) The battery life is stated as 5 hours for playing video. I would assume that recording video would take approximately the same amount of time?
2) I didn't notice any replacement battery for the 442 model? Are these batteries not replaceable?
3) How "rugged" would you suggest this PVR is? Obviously I won't be dropping it, or dropping onto it (it will be withint a pouch on my vest), but can it handle high amounts of vibrations, and the general forces you would expect from having it attached to someone who is running/jumping/crawling?

Also, by chance if any one has used this for the same purposes, I'd like to get your opinion on this.

Thanks for your time,

Narius
