New Camera Technology
Twenty20 has partnered with OmniVisionTM, an award winning semiconductor manufacturer and world renowned designer of CMOS camera chips, to introduce their latest OmniPixel2 technology to our action sports cameras. The release of the 2007 camera allows Twenty20 to be the first CMOS based Helmet Camera to rival CCD cameras in quality, while maintaining advantages in size (3" x 1"), weight (4oz.), battery life (20hrs.), durability (1yr. warranty), availability (your local dealer) and price ($249.99).

The housing for the Twenty20 camera is machined from aluminum to ensure the camera chip stays dry and protected from the most extreme conditions. The wiring is supported with a strain relief to keep it from pulling out of the back in the event of a snag. Twenty20 is proud to make a user friendly, but extremely durable Helmet Camera.

Less Batteries, longer life
So what's the secret to a helmet camera? Battery Life!!! You may not think the battery pack is important, but wait until you have to haul around 8AA batteries or you get your first bill from Duracell because you chose a CCD helmet camera. Twenty20 is the only manufacturer to use a CMOS image sensor, which means your battery pack is a SINGLE 9-VOLT BATTERY, and it lasts 12-16 HOURS. That' correct, 12-16 HOURS on a SINGLE 9-VOLT BATTERY. We guarantee you won't find another system boasting about their battery life.
The Twenty20 battery pack includes a simple on-off switch and a snap together lid to protect you from the worst weather conditions. Using our simple "Y" cable design, there are no extra wires and no chance of misconnecting your camera. Now you can’t use the, “I ran out of batteries” excuse ever again.

Stick It To Me
Did you ever wonder how all those other helmet cameras actually mount to your head? Since the mount is supposed to be an industry secret, we’ll just come right out and say it...With the Twenty20 Helmet Camera you get a machined metal bracket that is custom fit for our camera and includes MARINE GRADE VELCRO to secure to your helmet. This isn’t that fuzzy Velcro you’re used to, this stuff makes your fingers bleed trying to pull it a part, which means your helmet camera WILL NOT FALL OFF while you’re riding. Additional Velcro is available from your local dealer as an accessory.

Beauty by Design
Back to the difference between Twenty20 and all the other "stuff" out there. We actually manufacture every component of our camera systems. That means the wiring harness and connectors are specifically designed for you, and we’re not just saying that. The wiring harness (see image top of page) includes a simple junction 6 inches from the battery pack to split the single wire into the record cable (2ft), microphone cable (4ft), and camera cable (4ft), plus a 15-inch disconnect behind the camera so the connector won’t whack you in the back of the head.
The aircraft aluminum connectors used will lock into place so there is no need for duct tape to keep the camera from disconnecting during the rough sections. Go ahead and find someone else who makes the wires just for you, we dare you.

The Oh S@#! Mic
What good is a POV video with out a few expletives? Each system comes wired with an external microphone so you can decide what sounds you actually want. Since the microphone isn’t stuck in the camera you can capture your own audio by clipping it to your jersey, or just keep the mic. in your pack because you’ll still pick up the sounds of your ride. The high gain Twenty20 microphone is perfect for commentating on your surroundings or catching the rev of the finely tuned machine your sitting on. |

One Size fits All, well almost...
In the Helmet Camera world you NEED TO CARRY A RECORDER to store the video. With that demon out of the closet, there are no helmet camera companies making their own recorders, although many say they do. Don’t get tricked into paying too much for a repackaged recorder that you could have paid half an much for at Best Buy. The truth is your local electronics stores are still the best place to shop for a recording device, and anyone who says otherwise is being misleading.
We are very passionate about making sure each customer gets the right device to fit their individual needs and we encourage you to call or email us if you would like some suggestions.
Also, if you haven’t noticed by now we are equally dispassionate about those (who will remain nameless) who sell complete kits for a ridiculously high price, with ridiculously low video quality. Again we encourage you to shop around, do the research, and even ask us questions, because we’ll give you candid answers knowing that you’ll come back to us in the end.
No matter the Helmet Camera you MUST HAVE AN A/V (audio/video) INPUT. The S-Video or DV (Digital Video) inputs will NOT WORK for any helmet camera. The Twenty20 camera includes a standard 3.5mm mini-jack plug to connect directly to the A/V input on your recording device. Not all devices use a 3.5mm plug so please visit the Twenty20 Compatibility Page to determine if you need any connectors. We provide the Radio Shack part numbers for any adapters you will need, just to make your life a bit easier.
To ensure your recording device has an A/V (Audio/Video) input please visit the Twenty20 Camcorder Compatibility List to view information on all the camcorders on the market.
Please contact Twenty20 Support if you have any further compatibility questions or need any help finding a recording device. |
