Nothing screams outdoors about Aiptek’s PenCam HD except portability. Which in itself is alot when you just want to grab your stick and float some powpow.  This tiny pack boast some nice specs (listed below) but is only rated for your average adventure.  However, Aiptek has over-engineered this little peeper to handle some tougher environments and at a Lincoln under $170 it’s hard to pass up.

Pro’s
-Small form factor and weight
-HD 720p video and 5MP still
-Video review capability

Con’s
-Battery life
-Video image stability

Overall it has nice specs but it’s hard to watch a video appearing to be held by someone suffering from a seizure. If you’re going on a quick trip and don’t want to risk the expensive equipment, then give Aiptek a considerable thought.

To see a sample video go to their webiste here and click on Experience at the top.
