Launch Helmet Cams caught up with Chad Reed at the first round of the Australian Super-X series recently to get his point of view of the supercross track in Perth, Western Australia. Chad used the VIO POV1 Helmet Camera Kit with a Nukeproof Helmet Mount, along with an external microphone (available soon!) to take you for a commentated lap around the purpose built track.

Homegrown Maniacs are moving forward in their quest for world domination and have recently confirmed a deal with Fuel TV that will see HGM.tv being broadcast in Australia starting, quite fittingly, on April Fools Day in 2009.

Check out the video below to see just a snippet of what you can expect from HGM.tv as Dave Macaulay takes you into a few barrels with the help fo the Big Wave POV1 waterproof helmet camera kit and a Gath Surf Convertible helmet.

Team Five Thirty Racing blitzed the competetion at the Western Australian round of the Westcone Distribution Dutton Rally and took out the rookie team championship. The race was the first outing for the team of Josh Robinson and Jeff Denmeade and hopefully is a sign of big things to come.

In other news, we are proud to announce that we have raised $4000 for the Save the Kimberley fund. The fund is dedicated to promoting responsible development on the Kimberley region of Western Australia, one of the last untouched wilderness areas left in the world. Anyone who has visited this remote area will know it is an area worth saving.

Big thanks go out to VIO Inc, who contributed $10 from every VIO POV1 sold in Australia over the past few months.

The long awaited Big Wave POV.1 is now in stock and ready to ship. The Big Wave POV.1 takes the high quality POV1 helmet camera system one step further and allows you to take it deeper.

The Big Wave POV.1 bag is a modified Aquapac with the digital cable from the POV1 encased into it, providing a watertight cover for the POV1 recording unit that is rated to 5 metres. The Big Wave POV.1 bag comes with adhesive dots to cover the microphone in the cable and protect it from prolonged exposure to salt water.

In other news, we are now busy completely rebuilding our website and will be releasing some new helmet camera models with the new site.
