ATC2K Waterproof Action Cam
Giveaway is closed!
I’ve reviewed some really great products by Oregon Scientific lately, but the ATC2K Waterproof Action Cam might take the cake! It’s a fully functional, hands-free digital video camera that just happens to be waterproof up to 10 feet. Weighing in at only 8 ounces and just over 4 inches in length, the ATC2K mounts easily on helmets, handlebars, or other sports equipment.
I wish I had something like this when we went to Jamaica in September. I could’ve used it in the pool, while snorkeling, windsurfing… Okay, I’ll take back that last one because I wasn’t brave enough to try windsurfing, but you get my drift. I can see how this camera would be so much fun for those into winter sports – skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling. Even attaching it to a kid’s sled would make for a great video!
The specs:
The ATC2K is PC and MAC compatible, and works seamlessly with most video editing software. A USB cable is included so you can transfer video to your computer, and an RCA cable for playback on your TV as well. The video produced is full color 640 X 480 VGA at 30 frames per second – even underwater! Onboard memory is 32MB, but it can take SD cards up to 2GB, which I’d say is a must-have. 2GB of memory can hold about 60 minutes of video, but the quality of the video can be adjusted to allow for more recording time. It works on 2 AA batteries, which aren’t included. All mounting hardware comes with it – a handlebar grip and a variety of straps (velcro, rubber, etc.) – to easily attach the camera to just about anything. And the actual operation of the camera couldn’t be easier. It has a one-touch record button and two other buttons to control the technical aspects of the video (resolution, frame rate, and image size).
It’s valued at $119.99, but for a limited time you can get $20 off the ATC2K by entering code ATC08 at checkout when you shop at the Oregon Scientific online store. A waterproof video camera for $100 bucks seems like a good deal to me! It would be a great gift for an outdoorsy-type or a kid who loves to show off their skills to their friends on YouTube. Visit www.atc2k.com to watch user-submitted video clips and see just what you can do with the ATC2K.
But first… a friend of mine complained that I don’t have any giveaways for the “big boys” – so here ya go, Dave! You and the rest of my readers now have a chance to win an ATC2K Waterproof Action Cam of your very own.

What a cool giveaway! I would use this on my bike…what great video you could obtain even in the rain!

Erins last blog post..Thankful Thursday
I can think of so many ways I would use this video camera but to list a few would be while mud running with our ATV’s can you imagine the footage on this~! Another would be while Horse Back Riding which with a normal cam you could never do this. We also go tubing in the winter since I live in Maine and we could have a blast with this taping the kids in front of us. Snowmobiling with this on would be too cool too
I could go on forever but I’ve got to go blog now. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays.

What a great gift this would make for my husband, he loves to hunt in any weather…he loves to swim with the our children…This would be an awesome gift…

I am sure my husband would take this as his own and use it when he goes fishing with our 9 month old. He will be 18 months old next summer! THANKS!
This is a really cool camera I would love to get some pictures of my little mermaid underwater and next summer my little fish too. I think pictures like those would make awesome memories for them and be something they can enjoy looking at now. Thanks for the entry.

For when we go swimming.
Now this is one cool camera! My husband would be elated if I won because he’s an avid mountain biker and dirt biker. He’d appreciate the durability and the fact that he can just “clip it on” and go…

My daughter always wants to hold the camera and would be elated if I was able to let her use this when we go to the pool or on vacation. I would love to use this to capture the great moments with her and our newest addition (who is due any day now)! Thanks!
For future vacations, but it would also be ideal for my girls softball team. We could attach it to their helmets and they could get an idea of how they are hitting, running and doing overall. What a fantastic product, did not even know it existed.
I’d take this on our family trip to the river. We go each year for a week and stay with my husband’s aunt and uncle. We spend every day ALL day LONG in or on the river and it would be wonderful to document some of our fun.
