Goggle Review - Liquid Image Summit 720p
Product: Liquid Image Summit 720p Goggles (built-in HD Camera)
Location used: Perisher, NSW
Conditions: Bluebird, some wind
The first thing you notice about these goggles is the weight. They’re not stupidly heavy or anything but coming from a set of fairly light-weight Oakleys, it’s a bit of a difference for me. The camera, controls and battery are on the sides of the camera but they’re fairly well balanced so you don’t feel lopsided whilst wearing them.
The camera itself is very easy to use, having two control buttons (one for power and to change from video to still and the other to start/stop recording and to take a photo), port for the provided USB or TV output cable, microSD memory card slot (supports up to 32gb apparently, comes with 4gb which is good for a maybe 2-3 hours of recording) and a rechargable battery (charged via USB cable). The camera records at 720p with a fairly wide 136 degree angle lens. All in all, a fairly decent setup. My only gripe with using this over using a go-pro is that when the wind picks up a little bit, your video will sound like it was taken in a wind tunnel.
The goggles for me were a bit of a pain as I wear glasses normally and these will most definitely not fit over them. I did what any dedicated person would do - found my manhood and decided to get contacts (I’ve been firm in my hatred of contacts for my whole life) and yeah, this was a brilliant decision. The goggles came with 2 lenses - polarised and an amber one and theyre pretty easy to swap if needed (which I didn’t need to do as conditions were fantastic). The goggles felt comfortable, didnt fog, had good ventilation - All in all, a thumbs up.
Some credit needs to be given to the strength of the camera too - You would be kind of thinking that if you have a big stack that they might not be as water-resistant as advertised or may not make it out alive if you do anything to them but I had quite a large fall to the point where the goggles almost came off from the helmet and the battery flew out of its little slot. After I dried the battery compartment and the battery itself, I was thinking the worst but they came through with no problems whatsoever.
All in all, theyre pretty sick if you’re looking at getting a Go-Pro or some other type of recording device, these are definitely a viable option!
Hey Nokturnal, welcome to Boardworld.

That’s because you buy them for your chick while you go off the big booters doing 7’s and backflips

Once it’s online, definitely.
It’s gonna need some compression etc as it’s pretty damn large so hopefully the quality won’t be affected.
I just won a set of these in a comp, but the Moto x ones. Getting posted to me this week I think, so I’m interested to read this! Thanks for the review!
oh yeah and I am a chick so glad I qualify as cool enough to wear them

didn’t mean you had to be cool or anything. They just look like oakley stockholm and many other women’s goggles. If they made that white bit all black too they’d be unisex.
I do think that this is the future of gopro etc

great idea!
Apparently they also come in black.
Also, the video may be a no go as the computer I had the filse saved on to has subsequently crashed…

Remove the hard drive and plug it into your other PC. You can access it via my computer?
I got mine today - in red. They’ve got a protective nosepiece for MX that makes them look pretty weird on, but I think I should be able to get it off somehow. Looking forward to giving them a go!
