The Tachyon OPS HD Night Vision camera is designed to film in the dark and in extreme low-light situations such as those encountered by police, SWAT, special forces, border control, and hunting. The OPS HD Night Vision can record in daylight, although with reduced color saturation.The Tachyon OPS HD Night Vision also works as a surveillance camera for the home or business. It boasts a 125 degree field of vision and works with both the visible 850nm and the invisible 940nm infrared light sources. It has infinite recording loop technology with which it will begin to record over old footage after it fills its memory of up to 32GB.

The OPS HD Night Vision has a time-lapse photo mode that takes 1 photo every 2 seconds. Each photo is time and date stamped, which comes in very useful when using the camera for surveillance.

Like all Tachyon cameras, the OPS HD Night Vision couldn’t be easier to use. It is ready to go right out of the box and has a simple, one-button operation. For stealth considerations, it is set to make no sound when turning on and off. At the back of the camera is a small, dim LED to let you know when it is turned on. The cameras are also plug-and-play with a PC or a Mac.

Optional accessories include a cable for plugging into a 110v and 12v outlets and external chargers for continuous charging and recording. Another is a water-resistant, silicon rubber cover which makes the camera weatherproof, a great benefit for outdoor monitoring and activities.

Easy, Secure Mounting on Helmets or Guns

The OPS HD Night Vision is the same size and weight as the current OPS HD camera (1.2 OZ, 2.9 X 1 X 1 Inches) It also boast the same patented 8-way mounting system that gives the user an unparalleled range of mounting positions, where the user can rotate the camera inside it’s mounts from the 12 to the 9 to the 6 to the 3 o’clock positions.

Standard mounts that come with the camera include the contour mount, for mounting to curved surfaces such as the side or tops of helmets. A standard tripod mount that will attach to any ¼-20 inch universal tripod screw. And a clip mount, with multiple angles of rotation, that is perfect for caps and straps and collars. The OPS HD Night Vision can also be mounted to many different types of guns using our optional zinc-alloy GunCam mounts. Guns such as pistols, shotguns, bolt-action, auto, and semi-automatic rifles (and their scopes), paintball markers and airsoft guns are all covered. No modification is necessary to your guns.

Helmet Cam View with OPS HD Night Vision

The OPS HD Night Vision cameras can record over four hours of video on a single charge. Time-lapse photos can be recorded for twice as long. The camera uses a built-in Lithium rechargeable battery that is perfect for filming in extreme temperatures. This built-in battery, tightly enclosed inside the case, prevents loss of footage due to shock or dropping the camera.

Keep an eye out this spring for Tachyon’s invisible 940nm infrared light that will include many of the same mounting options, for helmet, gun rail, cap, and tripod, as the OPS HD Night Vision Camera.

Tachyon GunCam™ – the entire collection bundle, or a la carte – consists of a variety of mounts that will secure the Tachyon OPS and OPS HD cameras to almost any handgun, rifle, or shotgun. Tachyon’s Picatinny Rail mount can easily be mounted to any gun that is equipped with a Picatinny rail. For guns without rails, such as rifles and shotguns, they offer attachable rails designed specifically for each type of gun. They even have a rail mount designed for scopes.

The Tachyon OPS cameras’ patented symmetrical mounting design allows them, in their mounts, to rotate four ways and also reverse, giving the user a total of eight directions of mounting for a wide variety of video angles. The Picatinny rail mount is adjustable and small enough to fit onto the rail of a pistol. These GunCam™ mounts also include a rail for bolt action rifles that attaches to the sling stud, while still allowing the sling to be attached. No modification of the rifle is required. The accessories also include two rails for 12 gauge semi-auto and pump-action shotguns, a mount for ball-caps and goggle-straps, a mount for tripods, and a mount for the curved surfaces of helmets. These cameras can be easily mounted to just about anything. It can go hunting one weekend and then go on an ATV ride the next. Solid, zinc-alloy construction ensures a safe, secure and durable mount.

The Tachyon OPS camera weighs in at only one ounce and measures just .95 inches in width and height and is 2.25 inches long. The OPS HD is only slightly larger. The OPS cameras with their built-in rechargeable batteries, record over two hours of continuous high quality video. The OPS cameras use a 4GB – 32GB Micro SD card, which is sold separately. They feature a high-dynamic light sensor with superior light gathering ability that makes them ideal for early morning hunts and indoor ranges.

Included in the Tachyon OPS & OPS HD GunCam Bundle

“The FBI estimates there are more than 200 million privately owned guns in the United States, and that number is rising,”  said John Chase, Sales Director for Tachyon, Inc. “We noticed that the industry was lacking a legitimate way to secure a camera to a handgun, let alone rifles and shotguns. We saw a need and filled it.  Our entire GunCam™ bundle of mounting accessories has been custom designed specifically for hunters, shooters, law-enforcement, and military.”

The new OPS cameras, which fully integrate with the GunCam™ mounts, are a gun owners dream and couldn’t be easier to use. They have a simple, one-button operation and are plug-and-play with a PC or a Mac. There is no software to download or drivers to install. For those who would like to buy the complete bundle, it is $149.99 for the OPS and $199.99 for the OPS HD.

The most common problem with dive cameras is the water pressure turning the camera off.  Tachyon has solved that problem with their patented dive-lock feature. The dive-lock is a switch located inside the camera and, when locked, camera’s software disengages the ON/OFF button, preventing water pressure from prematurely shutting the camera off.

The Micro HD’s 135° wide-angle lens and high-dynamic light sensor helps you to catch more of your underwater adventure than ever before. Using the recommended Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, users get over two and half hours of hands-free, underwater footage to depths of over 100 ft (4ATM).

The Tachyon Micro Dive Cam in Action

Tachyon Micro users include scuba divers, free divers, professional fire and rescue dive teams and the US Navy, who use it for training drills.

Tachyon Micro cameras are currently being used by Elevated Scuba to explore the depths of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. Tachyon has officially tested the Micro at depths of 100 feet, but as you can see in the above video, the scuba team is taking it down past 168 feet.

The Micro and Micro HD weigh in at only 4 ounces and can easily be mounted to a diving mask with the included goggle strap mount. The Tachyon Micro and Micro HD are waterproof as is, and do not require an additional bulky, waterproof case. The Micros need no DVR or software; they record onto a Micro SDHC card (up to 32GB) and are plug-and-play with both PC and Mac®.

Not only are the Micro and Micro HD perfect for diving and underwater activities, but they are perfect for all kinds of sports. They’ve been used for skiing, snowboarding, offroading, hunting, skateboarding, and even flying. They really are the ultimate all around multi-use cameras.

And for the Paintball and Airsoft communities, Tachyon offers an optional Picatinny Rail Mount for that amazing, first-person view.

The Tachyon OPS clipped onto the bill of a cap

The OPS weighs in at only one ounce and measures just .95 inches in width and height and is 2.252 inches long. The OPS HD is only slightly larger. The OPS cameras also boast of a patented 8-way mounting system that gives the user an unparalleled range of mounting positions. The camera can face forward or backward towards the user, and can also rotate inside it’s mounts from the 12 to the 9 to the 6 to the 3 o’clock positions. This lets the user position the camera correctly, so that they can film from any direction.

The camera couldn’t be easier to use. It is ready to go right out of the box and has a simple, one-button operation. The cameras are also plug-and-play with a PC or a Mac.

The OPS line comes equipped with three standard mounts: A clip mount, with multiple angles of rotation. This mount is perfect for caps and straps and collars. A contour mount, for mounting to curved surfaces, such as motorcycle or bicycle helmets. And a standard tripod mount that will attach to any ¼-20 inch universal tripod screw.

For more extreme activities, such as paintball and airsoft, and riding around dust and gravel, the OPS comes with a extremely durable piece of clear plastic impact armor, that fits snugly over the camera and mounts.

Additional GunCam mounts are targeted at hunters and other fans of gun sports. These include a patented 8-direction Picatinny rail mount, three different shotgun and scope rails, and a rifle rail. The zinc-alloy Picatinny rail mount and rails allow for the secure mounting of the OPS to handguns, rifles, shotguns and assault rifles, without any modifications being done to the gun.

Tachyon OPS and OPS HD compared in size to quarters.

The OPS cameras record around two hours of video onto an 8GB Micro SD card. They have a built-in Li-Ion rechargeable battery that is perfect for filming in extreme temperatures. They feature a high-dynamic light sensor with superior light gathering ability that makes them ideal for low-light situations and indoor filming.

“We design our products with the specific needs of our customers in mind,” said John Chase, Sales Director for Tachyon, Inc. “The cameras are virtually weightless and the 8 directional mount is groundbreaking. The GunCam accessories are a hunter’s dream come true.”

To go along with the small size and light weight, the OPS prices are small and light as well. The standard OPS package is $99.99 and the HD package is $149.99. Any aspiring action film makers can now easily and affordably record and share their videos. The OPS cameras will be available this summer.

Designed for filming action in extreme conditions, Tachyon XC helmet cameras are easy-to-use and come with multiple mounting systems that can connect the cameras to goggles, helmets, sporting equipment, dashboards and more, accommodating all adventure enthusiasts.

Tachyon’s latest Picatinny Rail Mounts, priced at only $27.99, will allow anyone with the new Tachyon XC HD or the Tachyon XC Micro to easily and securely mount their helmet camera to a Picatinny rail, which is now common on firearms. And along with real firearms, these mounts will work just as well with airsoft or paintball guns that are equipped with Picatinny rails. The new Picatinny mounts are backwards compatible with all previous Tachyon XC models.

The Picatinny Rail Mount, constructed with tough zinc-alloy connections, has been successfully tested to withstand the recoil of a variety of assault rifles. The following gun models, mounted with the new Picatinny mounts, can be seen in our latest HD YouTube GunCam video: S&W MP 15-22 – 22LR, Beretta Cx4 Storm – 9mm Luger, Bushmaster AR 15 – .223, SIG SAUER SIG 556 – 5.56mm NATO, Ruger SR-556 – 5.56mm NATO, and the Springfield Armory SOCOM II – .308

Details and photos of the new Picatinny Rail Mounts in action can be found on the Tachyon XC Micro and Tachyon XC HD mounting webpages. Tachyon is also proud to announce that military and law enforcement officers who purchase a helmet camera before December 31st, 2010 will receive a free Picatinny Rail Mount. See our Military Webpage for details.

“Since we are known as makers of the “tough cam”, we are always looking for ways to get our cameras into tougher situations,” said Jeff Francis, Operational Director for Tachyon, Inc. ” The business end of a high-powered firearm seemed like the perfect place to mount our camera. We trademarked the name GunCam™ to show that we are now committed to putting our cameras into the gun market. In this vein, we are excited to offer a free Picatinny mount to all police and military personal serving our country; many of them have been asking a long time for just such a gun mount.”

The new Picatinny mounts will be released simultaneously with Tachyon’s latest generation helmet camera, The 2011 Tachyon XC HD, which features HD video, extreme waterproofing, a wide-angle lens, and a remote control, all for just $179.99.

As with previous Tachyon XC models, the new HD helmet camera has more than twice the battery life of other, comparable helmet cameras and can get up to six continuous hours of recording when using a 32GB SDHC memory card. Its waterproof, tightly sealed design allows hunters to shoot HD video in rain, sleet, snow, dust and mud. But the 2011 Tachyon XC HD is more than just waterproof; the new, patented dive-lock feature allows the camera to dive to depths of up to 100 ft (30.5M) under water.

An adapter for rifles without Picatinny rails is in the works for sale later this year.  This will allow hunters and shooters the ability to attach their Picatinny Guncam to more traditional hunting rifles.

Tachyon XC Helmet Cams in the middle of the intense action at the world’s largest paintball event; Oklahoma D-Day 2010 . This video focuses on the Omaha Beach Scenario, which had American forces landing on the beach and attempting to rush up the cliff to rout the entrenched German forces.  Well, this worked…in 1944.  But in 2010, the Germans held their ground.

The prototype Tachyon XC HD camera was used for the main filming, and Tachyon XC Micro and XC cameras, mounted on masks and helmets, were used to film the video that you can see in the smaller windows.

Who better to give a review of our Tachyon XC Micro Dive Cam than SCUBA DIVING Magazine?

Read and Watch the Review

“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.”

When you think paintball. Think Tachyon XC. There is no better camera for capturing the paint-splattering action that a couple thousand players can get up to in a good historic scenario, such as the ones we filmet at Oklahoma D-Day 2010.
