At a street price of $350, the glasses aren&#8217;t cheap. However, the\u00a0convenience\u00a0of being able to record hands-free video or snap photos without digging out your digital camera or cellphone may well be worth the price.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our video review of the Pivothead glasses:<\/p>\n<p>[yframe url=&#8217;http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sw3jo1BYKwc&#8217;]<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that these are pretty useful for doing hands-on or adventure-style video recording, the kind of situation in which you want your hands to remain free. Unlike a GoPro Hero, you don&#8217;t have to mount these to a helmet or anything. Just put them on and go.<\/p>\n<p>To be perfectly honest, the image quality was really right around what I expect from a cellphone-sized camera. In other words, not fantastic. But because the camera also lacks a native 24p mode, I don&#8217;t think the images are supposed to be compared to cinema-quality cameras anyway. \u00a0For what they are, I think the glasses are a cool concept.<\/p>\n<p>I may not recommend the Pivothead glasses for use in your next narrative feature, but I can see myself using them for a tutorial, unboxing, or other hands-free video recording session out of sheer\u00a0convenience. Or if I ever build up enough courage to go skydiving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good folks over at Pivothead were nice enough to let us try out a pair of their new video camera glasses.
