If one of your stoner friends is planning on emulating something they might see in Jackass 2, and they'd rather not have a camera involved that happens to be as fragile as their spine, you might want to recommend the new SUV-Cam from Elmo. Not only is the camera unit waterproof, but it snakes away from the recorder unit for easier positioning and extra durability. The recorder features a 2.2-inch LCD and stores vids via SD card, but only boasts two hours of battery life, so we suppose Elmo figures you'll either be dead or worn-out by you xtreem tasks before you use all the juice. The best news is that the camera features a 440,000 pixel CCD, and records 25fps at a 704 x 480 resolution, so you won't have to trade off as much quality
as usual to bring your camera to the action. Unfortunately, the SUV-Cam has a price to match its feature set: ¥88,900, about $761 USD. The device should be available (in Japan) on September 29th, so start planning your nefarious deeds accordingly.

Exactly what I'm looking for, but too expensive... Too bad.... Drop it down to $500 and we're talking...
I like how the lense is nice and small. Now "Vinnie's Endoscopy" will be a reality instead of a dream...
Too expensive, and no sample video on the website...
Shame, shame.
It's been done before...Not nearly as rugged, but also not nearly as expensive...
About $500 last I checked.

If in case you didn't notice, theyre a bit different. No snakey camera. That's a certain must. Think of all the different ways you can attach that little monster. Here's to hoping the cam cable is at least a couple of feet long!
Kal,
looks like the cable will be 2'-7" long...
Great. Do-It-Yourself colonoscopies and endoscopies posted on the internet as MPEGs.
