Looks remarkably similar to the Oregon Scientific ATC2K which is sold by Oregon for $130US.

Any more details on it?

It is the ATC3K. I have one mounted to a Gath helmet and for a fairly cheap camera($405 delivered with mount attached to helmet) gives about 2hrs of not quite DVD quaility video with a 4gig SD card. Is a good quality option if your looking for a budget camera system.

ATC 3 test run on a kitesurfer Bar 2008


ATC 5 Test head cam

How to make a helmet mount camera

Lots of places to mount a cam on it

Check out e.bay for ALUMINIUM ROUND BAR
2 Stainless steel penny washers / 2 Stainless steel bolts 6mm

Cut the aluminium bar to your required length

Drill 5mm holes in both ends and tap out with a 6mm tap

Put one washer under the padding inside the helmet then screw the bolt into the aluminium bar

Fit the mounting bracket for the cam on the bar
Then put the top washer on and bolt it down.
Its to stop the bracket slipping off after a wipe out

I have put a safety line on this one hopefully I will not need it or I will be in big trouble with the wife as I lost my ATC 3K action cam in the water when I was in Egypt
