Dear Customer,
Thank you for buying the Tachyon XC Micro or Micro HD. These Micro cameras are the latest of our video and still helmet cameras designed for
filming extreme action in extreme conditions. They are very rugged and very simple to use, while delivering 30FPS of quality video.
The Tachyon Micros are shockproof, waterproof, and foolproof. Take them anywhere on land, into the sea, and into the air and bring back your
stunts, adventures, and bloopers. A patented shock-proof battery system eliminates an all-too -common problem among other action cameras; the
loss of power and recorded files caused by the jarring loose of the batteries. This innovation ensures that videos taken in challenging and perhaps
impossible-to-repeat situations will not be lost.
And unlike other action cameras which need to rely on an external waterproof case, the Tachyon XC Micros are designed to be waterproof from
the start. Combined with the patented Dive Lock (see below), the Micros allow you to film to a depth of 100 feet (30 Meters).
The Tachyon Micro shoots video in superior quality standard ng modes: Superior-Quality Video and Time-Lapse Photography. It makes use of the
4GB - 64GB Micro Memory cards, for the longest recording times on the market.

Summary of Contents for Tachyon Micro

  • Page 1 Dear Customer, Thank you for buying the Tachyon XC Micro or Micro HD. These Micro cameras are the latest of our video and still helmet cameras designed for filming extreme action in extreme conditions. They are very rugged and very simple to use, while delivering 30FPS of quality video.
  • Page 2: Inserting Batteries

    To get started, insert two AAA batteries into the battery cartridge. Always insert the + side of the battery first, before snapping the - side firmly into place. • Now insert the cartridge, with the two contact points leading, into back of your Micro camera. Make sure the red latch locks firmly over the cartridge. •...
  • Page 3: Recording Video

    Recording Video • Once your batteries and memory card have been inserted, turn on your Micro camera by pushing (but not holding) the START/STOP button. You will hear a beep sound and see the green LED, quickly followed by the red.
  • Page 4: Sound Recording

    Sound Recording For waterproofing reasons, the microphone of the Tachyon XC Micro is sealed inside the case. This ensures that your camera will function well in extreme situations. But your sound-recording quality will be quite a bit lower than on a camera that is not designed to be waterproof.
  • Page 5: Shock Resistance

    For additional shock resistance, the Micro has a locking switch to the right of the red latch. When you switch it to the left, the cartridge will be locked into your camera and you will be unable to remove it even when you depress the red latch.
  • Page 6: Managing Files

    Computer PLayback • For playing back raw, unedited video files, Tachyon highly recommends the VLC media player. It is possible that some video files recorded by your cameras will not play back clearly or smoothly on some other media players.
  • Page 7: Operating Systems

    • DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. • DO NOT try to force your batteries into the Tachyon XC if they are not going in easily. You may have inserted them incorrectly, or you may be using batteries that are too thick.
  • Page 8: Warranty

    Be sure to mention Tachyon Micro or Tachyon Micro HD and Helmet Camera in your title or tags so that other Tachyon users can find and comment on your videos. And be sure to see our website for video samples and for further tips and tricks on video recording and editing.
