A shipment of 1600 Tachyon Micro cameras was lost in 2011, but recently they have been appearing in markets such as Amazon and ebay or other auction sites. We have reported this repeatedly to Amazon, but to no avail. We are hoping that they will take action on this matter.

We feel that we need to warn customers not to buy these cameras, as they are long past support from our company and we seriously doubt that you will receive any support from the illegitimate seller. If you have purchased one of these, you should immediately return them for a refund and let the place where you bought them know the reason for your return.

The World’s Best Biker Cam now Rolls in Full HD 1080p

Bikers can roll down the highway, capturing scenery, bikes, and buddies in full, wide-screen HD 1080p. The BikerCam HD 1080p is engineered for shooting forward in outdoor areas, rather than in close, enclosed areas where a fisheye lens is needed. BikerCam’s image therefore looks more natural, with distant objects not too small to see and close objects not distorted.

For continuous recording while riding, the BikerCam can connect to your bike’s power via the included 3’ USB cable and the bike’s USB or 12V socket. The package includes a 12V adaptor plug.
When connected to your bike’s power, the BikerCam will start up and start recording whenever you turn on your power. It will then stop recording and turn off when you power down your engine. When you are recording the cable will continuously charge your BikerCam, removing the need to worry about battery power.

There is also no need to worry about the space remaining on your memory card because BikerCam makes use of looping technology to overwrite you oldest files with your most recent videos. This allows you to run your camera nonstop and remove important video files only when you feel the need to preserve a recording.

An optional time & date stamp reminds you of when your video was taken.

Features:

  • The World’s smallest & lightest 1080p Full-HD Biker Camera
  • 1080p Full-HD Super-Sharp Video, shoots wide-screen videos without fisheye distortion.

  • Continuous charging while recording.

BikerCam by Tachyon Enables Riders to Get Over 17 Hours of Continuous HD Recording

bikercam, tachyon, biker video, motorcycle videoTachyon, Inc. has developed a way for motorcycle video enthusiasts to get nearly unlimited recording time while riding. With the BikerCam’s 12V Charge n’ Record Charger connecting the camera to the bike, the camera will receive continuous power that will charge the BikerCam while it is recording.

Other motorcycle cameras currently on the market offer a battery life of only 1 to 2 hours of recording time. This forces riders to either stop often to recharge, or to accept missing recording most of the ride. But the BikerCam, connected to the 12V Charge n’ Record Charger, wires directly to the bike’s 12V socket for unlimited power. Other cameras will also face the problem of a full memory card. But the BikerCam is equipped with looped-recording technology that begins recording over the oldest files once the card is full. A 64GB memory card (sold separately) will give the rider over 17 hours of video before the card is full. This enables the rider to focus on riding and to forget the camera, only downloading files when necessary to save something special. When removed from the handlebar mount and unplugged from the charger, the fully charged camera can also be used to record videos away from the bike, for another 4.5 hours.

bikercam, tachyon, biker video, motorcycle videoBikerCam utilizes a wide-angle lens that captures more of the road and other vehicles, without the undesired fish-eye effect, produced by other cameras. It is the perfect camera for those long road trips and for recording the beautiful scenery and winding roads. Record all of the rallies, not just the highlights. Record the whole trip to Sturgis on one card, or get all the action at Daytona Beach without taking time out to recharge the camera. And with the video time stamp, the time and date will appear on the video, for future reference.

BikerCam, with its contour mount, will easily mount to helmets or fenders. And when attached to its Quick-Release Handlebar Mount, can also mount to the motorcycle’s handlebars, engine guards, sissy bars, or racks. The Quick-Release Handlebar Mount is designed to remain securely attached to the bike, while the camera can be easily removed from the mount at any time. Once removed from the bike, the camera can be used as a dash cam in a car, a security camera at home, and much more.
Included with each BikerCam is a Rainproof Cover which will protect it from rain, dust, and flying stones. Charging and mounting the camera are unaffected when using the cover.

bikercam, tachyon, biker video, motorcycle videoBikerCam is also capable of taking time-lapse photos. One photo will be taken every two seconds. Each photo is time and date stamped, which is extremely useful when there is a need for documenting unsafe drivers or accidents.
Like all Tachyon cameras, the BikerCam could not be easier to use. It is ready to go right out of the box and its simple, one-button operation eliminates any confusion for its users. The cameras are also capable of plug-and-play on a PC or a Mac.

The BikerCam only weighs 1.7 oz and boasts the patented 8-way mounting system which allows for an unparalleled range of mounting positions, allowing the user to rotate the camera through the 12, 9, 6, and 3 o’clock positions, as well as forwards or backwards. And this can all be accomplished very easily while the BikerCam rests in the mount.

bikercam, tachyon, biker video, motorcycle videoBikerCam makes use of a built-in lithium rechargeable battery, which is ideal for riding in the cold, or shooting other action sports such as snowmobiling or snowboarding. This internal battery, tightly enclosed within the case, is designed to prevent loss of footage due to shock when engaging in extreme activities.
Standard mounts for the BikerCam are the Contour Mount, for mounting to curved surfaces such as the side or tops of helmets or fenders, a standard Tripod Mount that will attach to any ¼-20 inch universal tripod screw, and a Clip Mount with multiple angles of rotation making it perfect for caps, collars, straps, and do-rags.

Gun owners may also want to check out the Tachyon, Inc. Picatinny Rail Mount and GunCam® accessories.

The BikerCam System, which includes the camera, the Contour, Tripod, and Clip Mounts, the 12V Charge n’ Record Charger, and the Quick-Release Handlebar Mount, can be purchased for only $189.99 from the Tachyon website.

World’s Most Affordable Dive Cam Goes HD

(May 11, 2011) Tachyon®, Inc. – The little underwater camera that challenged the video quality of the high-dollar professional market, has released an HD version of their Tachyon Micro DiveCam. This new camera takes the Micro’s already crystal-clear video and sharpens it up to a dazzling HD 720p.

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 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.

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.

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 Announces GunCam™ Picatinny Rail Mount

October 25, 2010

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.

Tachyon XC Micro Picatinny Rail Mount - Ruger SR-556

“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.

With loss of video due to battery disconnection being the No. 1 helmet camera complaint, Tachyon developed and patented a shockproof battery system that keeps the camera’s batteries locked and secure, so video can survive the shocks of the most adverse situations. Tachyon, Inc. is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau.
