It is rare that we get to use a camera (a video or still for that matter) during heavy activities such as scuba diving and sky diving. However, the launch of the ATC9K All-Terrain Video Camera by Oregon Scientific sets all those doubts aside. The new product is an HD video recorder that is very durable that it can be used in any type of environment.

In the press release, Oregon Scientific said that the camera is easy to use and is shock-resistant. This can be strapped on to a helmet, snowboard, surfboard, handle bars and even in scuba diving equipment because of its waterproof feature.
The company added that the camera can shoot up to sixty frames per second at a 1080 full HD video. In terms of still shots, the photos are of high quality due to the 5-megapixel quality. There’s an LCD screen placed on the camera which makes it easier to do playback of recently shot scenes, so you can watch all your adventures when you’re back safely on steady land!
