V.I.O. POV.HD

V.I.O. POV.HD sports camera

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: The V.I.O. POV.HD matches or surpasses our favorite HD sports cameras in video quality. The inclusion of a color LCD makes it extremely easy to frame shots, preview footage, and make minor edits on the go. The rugged construction of the recorder keeps your media safe in case of an accident.

The bad: The two-part construction and long connecting cable make the POV.HD much bulkier than the competition. The mounting options included in the box can be confusing and may require hand tools to set up.

The bottom line: If money is no object and you want the maximum flexibility from your HD sports camera, the V.I.O. POV.HD is one of the best. However, the considerable bulk and high price tag will likely deter most.
