It uses a cell phone battery essentially. You can purchase extra ones (also a external charger is also available) and the camera unit itself charges a battery via a usb cable. 2 Hours? I haven’t seen any reviews or experienced that state the duration of the rechargeable battery being that low. We easily had over 2hrs of recording during our use. We didn’t have extensive time to test out how long the battery lasted on this 1080p contour but the 720p contour easily lasted through a day of recording (it was the memory card that fills up faster in our experience).

The unit is easy to turn on/off and we did so after each run. This helped to make sure we didn’t have any issues with the battery expiring while recording. The Vholdr system is also supposed to turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity automatically.

We haven’t found it to be an issue (battery life) provided you start the day with a full charge and turn the camera off when not using it. 6 hours on a set of 4 AA batteries can add up if you use the camera a lot which is nice but as you say can put you in a state where you need to recharge it if you do run through it and don’t have a spare.

Proprietary battery setup? What are the options there? Review says 2 hours battery life and I can’t help but think that is far too short. I ran a P.O.V. 1.5 this summer that used AA’s and I got about 6 hours on that. Even then, A full day on the resort left the last couple runs out when I didn’t realize the batteries had died on me. Those were the best ones too as I had the runs dialed by that point. I was bummed. Would hate to be stuck with less than 6 hours after that experience, especially if it doesn’t use standard battery types but rechargeable units instead.

Agreed one the vid quality… I had one of these units and sold it because of that after using it a couple times. Didn’t meet my “minimum” requirements to say the least.

It needs a windscreen as well, that part I would say is a failure, notice the wind noise throughout the whole video)… you can make one easily but why for the price it is. Overall its a great setup, just dated..

I’m dissapointed in the picture quality, while they claim it to be dvd’ish. The rugged recorder unit is nice but the cable is a no-go for this kind of sport. I nearly destroyed mine when trying to exit a bike tow-lift(you stand on pedals and sorta sit on a plastic thingy, used more for snowboarders) If you damage the cord you will need to replace the whole cable and camera head for allot of money. Damaging a fully-digital cord is something you really want to avoid but will easely happen.

I used mine like 12 times and got sick of the cable, getting one of the new go-pro’s.

Comment on Preview: 2010 Intense 951 FRO by James

Back to my shock mod that Bryan was asking about, I got the idea from Duncan Riffle. He told me that when he rode for Cannondale he and everyone else on the team had their Vivids shortened 10mm to get the bikes into “race geometry,” he also said that by changing it by that much(10mm is huge) it was ineveitable to shorten eye to eye without shortening stroke too. You lose travel, but completely worth it to get it low and slack. He said its a super common mod and just about everyone does it. Ideally you can shorten eye to eye without changing stroke length, but not always possible. I only shortened my 951s shock by 3.5mm. Stroke was barely affected and therefore travel and spring rate was not changed. Dropped the bike just under 1/2″ and slacked it .5 degree and kept the 17.5 chainstay length. Maybe not for everyone, but I love it.
