It's an Olympus Stylus Tough. A really nifty point and shoot. It's made to be dropped and submerged.

Sorry about the water drops on the lens.

My wife has done some awesome video using the Go Pro line.
She has three that she has used to do all kinds of video of boating, snowmobiling, ATV'ing and the latest White Water Rafting. There are a lot out there but from the research she did the Go Pro line had the best features for the applications she wanted to us it for.

Go Pro is definitely better suited for this sort of stuff. The camera I have is better suited as an all-purpose point and shoot. I fabricated the helmet mount on a rainy afternoon just for laughs. Was worth it.

Any time you engineer something that works it is worth it.
First because you designed it for that purpose and 2nd because it worked, even if it only worked that one time.
I miss being in engineering but I like working for and by myself so much more.

"YOU didn't Build That"...someone else Did That. "BHO."

BTW: Due to the Large Voter turnout expected in this election, The days for voting have been expanded to provide TWO days for the voting.

Republicans should VOTE on November 6th. Democrats should vote on November 7th. This will relieve the pressure on the voting places. NB
