For seriously extreme people, this two-piece video camera from V.I.O. has a separate wired lens the can be strapped to your handlebars or even your helmet. Record the action while you're snowboarding or capture firefights with insurgents.

Shock resistant, water resistant (to 1 meter) and dust proof, this bad boy includes a loop-mode recording capability. The POV.1 will record constantly in loop mode, and saves the prior 30 minutes when you hit the Tag button, so you'll never miss the important stuff. How do I know it's rugged? The military is using this camera to record combat patrols in Iraq and Afghanistan — check out the video on V.I.O.'s site. You can get a fresh POV now now for $850. — Ken Sander
