All those Shaun White wannabees who went out and bought the Samsung HelmetCam to record their radical moves on the half pipe seem to have jumped the gun a bit too soon.  Even though it’s remote camera lens could be mounted anywhere, it was handicapped by the USB cable connection it required.

Well, no more.  The upgraded version, the HelmetCam SC-X210WL, goes wireless, has a fifteen foot range, and uses RF technology for high bandwidth without sacrificing battery life.  That means that thrashers can cut a 720 and not get tangled up in the video cable running to a camera in their pocket.

The 1-GB model costs $679 and will be available in September.  Not in time for the XGames, sadly.
