The gun-cam arrived today. All I had time for was to unbox it, charge the battery, download the viewer, and take some photos. I hope to test it out on the range next week. I'll start with my usual photo-tutorial.
The gun-cam comes in a simple blister pack.
The unit is made of high quality materials, aluminum body with polymer pieces. Size wise it's the same as most pistol laser/light units. Comparable in weight also. The camera is basically a cell phone camera so it doesn't add much weight, size, or use much power. The battery pack is around 40% of the size, and the battery is as big as it is because green lasers suck a lot or power compared to a red laser.
The business end of the unit. Left side is the camera, top is the microphone, right side is the LED light, and the bottom is the green laser.
Bottom of the unit showing the USB charging/data cable on the left, battery compartment in the center, and on the far right are the adjustment screws for zeroing the laser.
The bottom of the unit with the battery removed. Before you can charge the battery you have to remove that piece of plastic film. It prevents accidental battery run-down. The battery is rated at 1000mAh at 3.8V to 4.3V.
The unit plugged in and charging. Green LED means the battery is >50% charge. Yellow means <60% memory. The unit comes with 32gb of built in memory, probably a micro-SD card.
Th unit comes with a USB cable that doubles as a charging cable and a data cable. One end is a standard USB A that can plug into any USB port for charging and data. The small end is interesting. It looks like a HDMI Micro Type-D plug. Standard USB Micro on the left (typical for any Android phone), and the Viridian plug on the right.
Another view of the USB small end. Again, standard USB Micro on the left, Viridian plug on the right.
