So my in-laws got me a GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition (with mounts, battery pack, and memory card) for Christmas. Terrific, thoughtful gift, but I don't think I will ever put up with the silly looking head mount of a GoPro nor the restrictive (but better) chest mount.
For years I have loved the idea of the goggle cameras, and while they don't have the market penetration of the GoPro, the reviews seem to be pretty good. I especially like the idea of the WiFi versions.
I saw one thread comparing the Zeal to the GoPro, but nothing comparing Zeal to Liquid Image, which appear to be the two main players. CNET suggests the Liquid Image HD + WiFi, but with reservations, and based on design, I am leaning towards the Zeal (returning my GoPro and using the $$ for the Zeal).
One thing I am not clear on is, if the goggle is on your head, how do you start it recording? The Zeal shows controls on the side of the goggle (which I would worry would be cumbersome with gloves on), and the Liquid Image I cannot tell at all.
Anyone with experience with either?
Thanks!
