SCUBA Diving Magazine Review of the Tachyon XC Micro Dive Cam

tachyoninc — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:08:32 +0000

“The Tachyon XC Micro Helmet Cam is designed to capture any outdoor adventure. It weighs only four ounces, and shoots 30 frames per second of high-quality digital video, or can be set to time-lapse photography mode.

Waterproof to 100 feet, the Helmet Cam uses a 90-degree wide-angle lens with surprising clarity. And it couldn’t be easier to use. ScubaLab has never had so much fun using a compact camera that’s simple to operate, shoots high quality video, and yet is so easy on the wallet.”

Tachyon XC is the Official Video Partner of Oklahoma D-Day 2010

May 12, 2010 — Tachyon™, Inc., makers of the world’s toughest helmet cameras, announce their partnership with D-Day Adventure Park, home of the world’s largest paintball event. Tachyon will be an official video partner for the 2010 Oklahoma D-Day event located in Wyandotte, Oklahoma from June 6 – 13, 2010. Differing from other “Big Game” paintball events, Oklahoma D-Day hosts scenarios modeled after the Allied invasion of Normandy. In addition, mini-scenario events, qualifications, and walk-on speed events run the entire week so that participants can expect action throughout the entire seven days.

Tachyon will participate not only as a vendor, but also as a film crew; documenting many of the events and games. Tachyon’s creative director Chris Whitehouse, former video game designer, will be producing a series of YouTube webisodes documenting the events. The videos will be modeled after first-person shooter games using footage recorded by Chris and by participants in the battles who use Tachyon XC helmet cameras. Tachyon encourages all of their customers at the event to submit their videos for inclusion in the final video production. Tachyon will select the best footage submitted by their customers for the videos.

Tachyon will have a user lounge available for its customers, so that anyone who buys or brings their Tachyon XC or XC Micro helmet cams to the booth can relax in the shade, share videos, backup and download videos using Tachyon’s computers, and receive helpful advice. Tachyon staff will be available to help users properly mount their cameras and give recording and editing tips.

“Our cameras have a patented, shock proof design that makes them very tough and durable,” said Jeff Francis, Operational Director for Tachyon, Inc. “We believe this is the reason the paintball and airsoft communities prefer our helmet cameras. The world’s most popular airsoft video community already uses our helmet cams to record many of their videos and we’re very excited to have been selected by the organizers of Oklahoma D-Day, the world’s largest paintball event.”

Special Offer for Oklahoma D-Day Participants:

Participants who wish to record and share their experiences at the events can purchase a Tachyon XC Micro camera package at Tachyon’s booth for $189.99. The package includes: Tachyon XC Micro helmet cam , 8GB MicroSDHC card, and 4 x AAA lithium batteries. Since Tachyon will have limited stock at the event, D-Day participants who pre-order the package for pick up at our booth will receive the same set for $179.99. Participants can email support(at)tachyoninc(dot)com to pre-order.

About D-Day Adventure Park and the 2010 Oklahoma D-Day Event:

Wyandotte, OK based D-Day Adventure park hosts paintball, airsoft, and off-road events including the Oklahoma D-Day – the largest paintball event in the world.

Tachyon XC trailer #3-Introducing the new goggle side mount…

tachyoninc — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:59:57 +0000

Alright everyone the new goggle side mount is on its way. It is in production as we speak and we are looking forward to this new revolutionary mount to be ready by March. The mount was inspired by the high number of phone calls, emails and discussions with numerous military personnel, fire fighters, snowboard/skiers/snow sled riders and the list goes on. So we went straight into designing and testing the new mount. I personally took the mount to Colorado to hit the slopes with the first mock ups and was extremely pleased to say the least, as were my buddies (one whom is a former pro-snowboarder and surfer) and every resort employee and rider we ran into on the mountain! If you scroll down you can watch that first test in the video titled SnowDaze.

I have just completed the second wave of testing in the new Tachyon XC trailer. I sent a few cameras and side mounts with some friends to Park City, Utah where they filmed some incredible footage. You will notice in the video 2 different points of view. The boot cam and the side mount. The new goggle side mount was used in both situations. There are two mounting options for the new mount. You can either slide your goggle strap through the mount (the mound is shaped and rounded to fit comfortably against your head or helmet) where is rests against your head, or Velcro the mount directly to your helmet. (With Industrial strength Velcro it will hold very securely). The boot cam is used by wrapping a strap of some kind around your leg at the top of your snow boot so that the camera points to the front of your board or ski. I absolutely loved the boot cam results, you really get the feel of riding and of course you have the ability on your own to adjust the angle of view.

HERE IS THE NEW TRAILER!!!

The new goggle side mount will be part of the Tachyon XC package when production is complete. For all of our existing customers who have purchased the Tachyon XC helmet cam from our website will automatically receive the mount free by mail when production is complete. Tachyon XC will also be creating a new XC package designed especially designed for Military, Fire, security and law enforcement personnel. Again, we want to thank all of the insight from the military and fire personnel as well as our existing customers.

Bringing in the New Year Tachyon XC style!

tachyoninc — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:41:27 +0000

We hope that you all had an amazing holiday break, whether you were enjoying winter or summer. We at Tachyon are excited about what 2009 will hold and are looking forward to see everyone’s Tachyon XC shot videos as well as continuing to go out and film our own. We not only created and make the camera but we also are active in using the cam ourselves! Here are a few new user videos used in different activities. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite vids so far, absolutely phenomenal first person footage from the paddle to walking the board..I love it…

This user put together a great off road trail riding video on his polaris in CA, great footage and good tunes.

A great example of the many uses of the XC, attached to a RC Buggy…the XC can go anywhere…

We are currently working on a new trailer featuring our new side mount for goggles that will be available to XC users soon, keep your eyes and ears open!

Happy New Year!

Snowboarding Trip….

tachyoninc — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:56:42 +0000

Here is a video from our recent trip to Colorado. We had a great time trying out our new side mounts that are close to entering production, the mount fits right up against the side of your head or helmet and you can pass goggle straps through it. The weather was extremely heavy with lots of snow so the lighting is not very great. For the highest possible video quality good lighting is always the best. We will be getting footage in Park City Utah as well following Christmas hoping for a day or two of sunlight. We wish everybody the best the Holiday season, and for all of the Tachyon community we can not wait to see all of the videos you are creating with your XC.

The Tachyon Team

Here are a few pictures of the new side mount on heads and on the goggles. We will be shipping the mount out free to everyone of our customers who bought the camera prior to the mounts production. The mount is curved to fit comfortably against your head or snug against a helmet with an opening to slide your goggle strap through.

Me and the boys…Thats me on the right, the guy that is a little bit bigger than everyone else.

Have a great Holiday’s!..Ty from Tachyon
