 IKAM Glasses - MM VIDEO
After playing with the Ikam's I've written up a little review and have a video I uploaded that I shot out at Wallisville... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sflJL9W8vuwThe Ikams are nice somewhat bulky in front of the ears. I wear one of the largest sunglasses Costa offers and it fits my face good. The shade it offers is nice. Nothing like my Costas which block out all light but it does provide good protection. The camera is easy to operate pretty much click and forget click again to stop recording. The time is a PITA to set. Actually, I don't like the time stamp & am thinking about removing the file it has you create during install in order to prevent it from displaying. They are worth the money you can easily tell that my head and eyes are not always looking at the same point which is something to consider when purchasing these. You have to be very conscious of where your head is facing. Your eyes constantly scan so your head is not always pointed in that direction. Thinking about where my eyes are on my gun vs. head I'd be shooting left of where the camera is pointing. The cheek sets on the gun forehead is angled down somewhat and eyes are looking down the barrel which is pointed upwards so the eyes go up. The camera will not be on your target so don't buy these if you want to use them hunting unless your the guy sitting back just watching & moving his head around following the birds... Another thing, who moves there head all around when duck hunting? Don't most sit head down eyes up or head turned to side so you can maintain visual on ducks & what they're doing? I don't think your just sitting straight up head glasses pointed right at them that much... just my opinion I'd get a gun mounted camera if that's what your after. These work good filming on the boat, fishing... Just keep in mind where your head is pointed vs your vision when considering the purchase. I like mine and am very happy with them.

 Re: IKAM Glasses - MM VIDEO
I have the EPIC cam... It gun mounts or hat clips and has a 2x feature...
But like you said you have to slow down your normal movements and be concious of where you are "aiming" it...
Downfall with the EPIC is low light conditions...
It might be a bit lower res than the glasses too...
But very simple to use...
