Tweet

Are you the kind of person that is more at home jumping off of a cliff or skydiving rather than veged out on your couch in front of your bigscreen HDTV? If you are than you probably have a limited amount of time left on this planet so you’ll want to document your final moments in stunning HD clarity for all to see. The problem is, most camcorders are too big to carry along in your jump pack and not rugged enough to take the likes of someone like you. Enter the new DXG-125V HD camcorder from, who else, DXG. It has been designed to give you both durability and HD quality video in a portable package that’s perfect for the extreme sports nut or outdoorsman.

The DXG-125V features a durable rubber handgrip, integrated carabiner, and compass so you can attempt to find your way out of the Alaskan wilderness before a bear eats your face for lunch. According to the folks at DXG the DXG-125V is pretty rugged, although there’s no mention of what drop testing they have performed. It also has a splash-proof exterior that they claim can be rinsed off if it falls into a muddy puddle. I’m not sure how they quantify something like splash-proof, but it’s my bet that it’s not waterproof so I’d keep it out of the lake. In other words, unless you can get info on how a company measures durability, caveat emptor.

The DXG-125V has a 2-inch LCD display, built-in MP3 player, and 128MB of built-in memory that’s expandable to 8GB with SD card memory. The video is recorded at 30fps, 720p HD and you can take still pictures with the 2x digital zoom 3MP digital camera function. As for connectivity, it has an HDMI-out for connecting to HDTV and USB so you can download your films and images onto your PC or Mac. They even throw in some free video editing software, Mr. Photo, VideoWorks, ArcSoft TotalMedia Extreme.

The DXG-125V HD camcorder is available at retailers today for $139.99. You can find out more by visiting www.dxgusa.com.
