O’Neill h3 Video Backpack
The German website iPodFun has had a look at O’Neill’s upcoming h3 video backpack, that allows you to record videos, listen to your music and operate your cell phone.
The video backpack system consists of a -who would have thought- backpack, which is equipped with protective pockets for an ipod and a video camera. The system also comes with an external action cam, basically a lens that you can wear on your head, glasses, helmet, etc, that feed back to your video camera inside the backpack (your video camera must support recording from external sources). The video camera, the ipod as well as a bluetooth enabled cell phone can then be remotely controlled via a joystick integrated into the backpack’s shoulder straps
The video backpack will go on sale in September for around 300 Euros, which seems to be a fair price for what you get.
