I question my VMP contribution more and more these days…mostly keep it to support Meh and for the occasional deal but damn the deals are pretty pathetic around here these days…
There are some of us who love weird cameras. I’ve had gallery exhibition (in Taiwan) of my photos taken with a 5 MP “Papershoot” camera. I may not use this as a strap-on for my glasses (heh-heh) more than once, but as an odd little street camera, it will be fun. Note that the original Kodak from around 1890 only held 100 shots and had to be sent back for processing and to be reloaded.
i’m in for one. got the gold aviator style glasses.
i have sort of always wanted something like this, even if the capacity sucks. i work as a garbage man & can probably take some great footage to Instagram to my friends.
@jb41382 Yours hasn’t what? This is the camera thread that’s for sale today, October 10th, 2018. Of course it hasn’t. It hasn’t done anything that we can tell. A funny demo video would have been nice, Meh.
@jst1ofknd No way man, I got boned in that last free meaningless points contest when you favored that @narfcake’s ONE video over my TWO videos. It was unfair man…not that I’m bitter or anything.
I got mine this week – so far I’ve been able to get one test image off of the thing and then the rest of the photos and videos seem to be corrupt files.
I was momentarily excited when I saw “HD … sunglasses”, but then it turned out to be a camera on the glasses, not a screen.
Even when people do occasionally have a go at making an unobtrusive screen on glasses, they have to go and put a camera on it too so that people around the wearer will be angry.

@Stallion I’ve been saying that for 6 weeks and was labeled a Grumpy Gus…but MEH has changed in the last 6 months…
@fastharry @Stallion
@fastharry @Stallion @ThomasF Must be fluffing themselves up for a buy out by Walmart…
@bainst @fastharry @Stallion Meh.com: Established and Prepping for Buyout Since 2014
@Stallion I hear ya! But I keep the VMP going cuz it pays the shipping over at Casemates!! Helluva deal even if you only buy wine occasionally!
🥴
30 second videos? No thanks.
@jzmacdaddy 60 seconds idle and then auto shut-off. also, the amazon reviews are grim
@jzmacdaddy Was about to buy for my hiking adventures but that severe limitation kills it. Guess I’ll stick with my Go-Pro for now
This is a really fun sale- thanks for finding them buyers! A demonstration would have been nice.
@sammydog01 I miss the old meh, when they used to do fun video demos.
$24 is a pretty small price compared to the hospital bill I’m going to end up with from wearing these things around town.
@norman8-Yea, especially if some bully catches you taking his picture & breaks them on your face!! Ha, ha!!
I could buy these and record the continued degrading of what is left of my MEH face pop socket
@deathbynoodlez noodlez is a genius!!! Also can you please show a picture of yours or what is left of it?
So $24 for a pair of Foster Grant sunglasses, plus a (questionable) camera thrown in for free? Hmm…
If they were polarized, then for sure.

How can you sell these goofy video glasses and not produce an equally as goofy video?
might be easier to take cat photos with this thing — but how well could i see wearing sunglasses in the house?
PogoCam taps out after 100 photos or 12 10-second 720p video clips. PASS

what makes me uneasy, though, is my order number…

@NAFderwin You can always do a /giphy instead.
/giphy slim-refreshing-stew
(With /giphy, if you don’t like the result, you can edit and resave for another one.)
@NAFderwin @narfcake I’ve always thought being a garbage man would be a fun job.
/giphy fun job
@NAFderwin @therealjrn Well it’ll consistently yield multiple BOC/Fuko/IRKs everyday.
(Around here, it’s almost all ASLs, so it’s not like there’s much chance of scavenging by the driver/operator.)
/youtube Amrep ASL
Picture this
Shit this makes me want to get on a pogostick and hop on by. No thanks meh!
IRK Plushies
Mehgic 8 Ball (all responses some form of meh.)
Squatty Potty (because we don’t have the fukubukuro anymore and our crap needs to go somewhere)
Hmm, a cheap USB cable is $4 on Amazon, so are the sunglasses worth $20?.. Meh
I have to get this because I’ve wanted a gadget like this since I was four years old.
/image sordid-lacy-scrooge
/giphy sordid-lacy-scrooge
I can use these to take video of myself peeing!!. I am forever 12 years old.
/giphy but did I?
review here…

@fastharry This is less of a review and more of a “I talked to a vendor at a tradeshow about their product.”
@fastharry @tmilker useful because i finally discovered it takes up to 10 10-sec videos, so it is useless for mounting on a drone.
@fastharry @rkpSLJo85CR0oIl Drones can be flown for more than 10 seconds?!
@fastharry @rkpSLJo85CR0oIl @tmilker …but the specs says six, 30 second videos. What am I missing?
@fastharry @hutchnow @rkpSLJo85CR0oIl @tmilker First iteration of these recorded in 10sec clips. Our inventory is 30-seconds
Mine hasn’t yet either, what I just came on to check.

As someone once told me, you need to make sure to hit the reply button to keep things in order.
50 meaningless points to whomever posts a link to that thread.
@jst1ofknd No way man, I got boned in that last free meaningless points contest when you favored that @narfcake’s ONE video over my TWO videos. It was unfair man…not that I’m bitter or anything.
@narfcake @therealjrn
Well 50 meaningless points for posting anyway.
This thing was terrible! Videos could not keep up with even the most basic movement/sound. Only about 10 seconds of video at a time. Don’t buy!
I got mine this week – so far I’ve been able to get one test image off of the thing and then the rest of the photos and videos seem to be corrupt files.

hmmmm…buy this and attach it to my dog? Dog vision! Hmmmmm…
@goldnectar Dog videos on the internet? That’d never catch on.
(FWIW, the catcam has been done. https://www.photographercat.com)
I’d be too tempted to pull alongside that guy on the bike (or some punk on a hoverboard) and push the ‘dump’ button?
has anyones fidget spinners shipped yet?..mine have not…
@fastharry Nope. Come on over to the sale thread and bitch with us.
@sammydog01 done…thanks
Only 30 second clips? What’s the point of this? Unless it can be hack to record more? Anyone?
@msujp Meant to compete with Snapchat spectacles which record for an even shorter time
Anyone order ‘Argus Marine’ and instead received ‘Argus Pacific’?
