The Story behind Twenty20
The vision for Twenty20 began back in 2003 out of the University of Washington business plan competition when two undergraduate students and keen skiers, Marc Barros and Jason Green, devised a simple helmet camera to record their adventures. The duo wanted to share video of the thrills and spills of their downhill skiing exploits with their friends and family, but they couldn't. The frozen mountain top was a grueling and unforgiving environment for camcorders. Besides, when you're zooming downhill, crashing through trees with ski poles in your hands, it's just not possible to hold a camera safely.
After winning third place in the competition and enough money to afford the rent of a chilly warehouse, the two friends began building and selling the Twenty20 Helmet Camera. Over the years Twenty20 introduced a series of innovations to make action video easier to shoot and share.
Twenty20 Helmet Camera V1 - The first CMOS sensor helmet camera and the first to be powered by a 9-volt battery pack, capturing 16 hours of power (all competing cameras on the market required 4-8 AA batteries).
Twenty20 Helmet Camera V2 – A brand new CMOS image sensor was introduced with a single wiring harness so users had one power button and one cable running from the lens to the camcorder.
VholdR – The company introduced the first shoot and share wearable camcorder. The award-winning VholdR (2008 CES Innovations Award and 2008 Business Week IDEA Bronze Medal) introduced recording to a microSD memory card, an iconic single button to record, lasers for alignment, a click to share online experience, and an online international adventure sports community.
ContourHD – The Company is now introducing the first HD wearable camcorder capable of capturing and sharing HD quality video online in seconds. The ability to capture video in High Definition or High Action, record 8 hours of HD video on a single memory card, shoot video with a wide angle lens, and use software to share HD video, is again leading the market.
The company’s original mission to make action video easy to shoot and share continues to drive us forward. Poised on the brink of our next big innovation, we would like to say thank YOU for your continued support.
