In what should turn out to be a huge boon for fans of Jackass videos and Darwin Award stories, ION Audio - known for its USB turntables - releases a handheld camcorder, which is capable of simultaneously recording the goings-on in front of and behind the camera. Twin Video owners will be able to record scenes of their lives and include themselves in the video. The handheld is easily able to capture stereo audio as well as surround video. The video selector switch can quickly switch from front to rear to simultaneous picture-in-picture. The Twin Video can be both charged and powered by USB cable. This should inspire egotistical YouTube stars and wannabes to attempt death-defying feats while narrating to their tens of followers. Failure to defy said death should allow for some amazingly high quality videos recovered from the accident scenes on the supported SD or SDHC cards. ION Audio itself may choose to sponsor surprisedlook.com for a photo gallery of penultimate realizations prior to a shocking finale. Can you say "Posthumously humorous posts" ten times fast? Those who survive this self-obsessed culture and craze can quickly post videos to sites like YouTube and Facebook provided their injuries aren't too severe. We're sure there are legitimate uses for this camera but it will be awhile before anyone accidentally discovers them, at least until Q2 when it is released into the wild. Pricing is not currently known but it shouldn't really matter anyway, charge it, you won't have to worry about payments in the great beyond. Video showcase after the jump.
