Rip Curl who make this product say:

“THIRD EYE is a goggle equipped with a minicam that plugs into the analogue input of a camcorder, thus providing you with an “onboard” video camera. As the camcorder itself merely records the images sent to it by the THIRD EYE, it can stay safe in the bottom of your backpack.”


Technical features of the Third Eye goggle-camera include:

• Goggle with an aggressive design, highly distinctive and compact.

• Screen with spherical geometry for panoramic viewing.

• Double polycarbonate screen from BNL-Essilor ensuring unbeatable anti-fog protection.

• Video cam equipped with a high resolution 1/3” Sony CCD image sensor with 480 lines.

• Quality equivalent to that of a digital camcorder.

• Compact camera 8cm long by 2cm wide, and weighing 60g.

• Casing is waterproof to a depth of 1m (designed for surface filming) and 100% aluminium for shock resistance.

• Choice of 3 screen colours for all types of weather.
