MII Flashcam Tactical Flashlight

Apparently nothing is sacred anymore.  Take the humble flashlight for example.  A ubiquitous device, the flashlight as we know it has its origins in 1896.  Along the way it has received various upgrades - LED technology and magnetic induction come to mind.  However, the core idea of a simple object that spits out light on demand, has remained the same - until now.  Enter the MII Flashcam - an 85,000 candlepower LED flashlight that adds the ability to record audio/video as well as take digital still shots.  For covert operations it has a ring of infrared LED’s to light up your subject, and all video can be viewed on it’s 1.5” TFT-LCD.  For storing your audio and video the Flashcam has 1GB of integrated memory which will allow for up to 2 hours of footage.  Seeing as how the Flashcam is being marketed toward the law enforcement industry, it comes as no surprise that the light is shock resistant (handy when the need arises for incapacitating a fugitive).  If you can afford it ($2,500) the MII Flashcam can be yours, but don’t expect to be allowed the privilege to record audio unless you’re a member of law enforcement.  Video functionality on the other hand is seemingly “a-ok” regardless of who the purchaser is.
