Lifelogging has exploded from an obscure technoboffin hobby into a mainstream phenomenon in just a few short years, and this VibeLens Headset appears to be one of the key tools required for widespread mass adoption.
If lifelogging is not yet on your personal horizon, then at very least VibeLens’ new MusicCam Pro offers a wearable action cam that performs all the regular duties of a wearable bone conduction music player yet remains ready to capture an hour and a half of hi-def video if an adventure unfolds in front of you.
Hence it’s the Clark Kent of music players, blessed with superpowers that deliver some distinct and unique advantages.
VibeLens already has one previous and highly relevant Kickstarter campaign under its belt, having created the MusicCam last October (2025) – a bone-conduction open-ear audio headset with a 2K camera featuring a 6-axis stabilized lens and waterproofing to 20 meter (65 ft) depth. It was a category breaker thanks to its versatility and it garnered a lot of immediate attention. The MusicCam was built for biking, hiking, and diving and quickly attracted over 2,300 backers and US$500,000 in funding, ultimately achieving 100 times its original Kickstarter goal.
Learning from the experiences and comments of those first-generation backers, VibeLens has now created the MusicCam Pro, a significant evolution of the initial MusicCam, and not just because the video resolution has been quadrupled from 2K to 4K.
One of the most important aspects of capturing action video is getting the framing right, and VibeLens helps to get this much closer to the optimum in the MusicCam V2.0 by using a lens module that enables the lens to slide out by up to half a centimeter (to reduce obstructions) and giving it a ±15° vertical adjustment, so it’s possible to align it with your line of sight and check it out on your phone before embarking on your adventure.
It’s an exciting time to be alive, because technological evolution is moving at warp speed, and driven by rapidly-evolving sensors and ever-cheaper data storage, the tools are now in place to accurately and permanently record every aspect of our lives in high definition. GoPro, DJI, Insta360 and more are pioneers here ….and the implications for the individual and society are much greater than a catchier social media snippet.
One of the most significant claims regarding the new MusicCam Pro is that it’s inbuilt Artificial Intelligence editing helps turn the raw footage into shareable content faster and better – we can’t vouch for that, but we’re presuming that if it doesn’t, you’ll still get the raw footage in a usable form. We’re putting our money up and actually backing this product so we’ll be the first to let you know when ours arrives. That’s how significant we see it as a product and how well we expect it to fit into our workflows, particularly for technology show coverage where we’re hoping to get the imagery out of the show and turned into compelling content as quickly as we can.
The MusicCam Pro is currently available on Kickstarter for US$229 plus shipping with delivery expected in September, by which time the MSRP will be $399. Another of the Kickstarter launch specials gets the MusicCam Pro, Charging Case, and a one year Creator Membership for $299 plus shipping, which is a saving of $309 on the eventual retail price of $608.
The MusicCam Pro uses a 600-mAh battery which is good for 8 hours of voice recording or 96 minutes of video recording or 15 hours of music playback, and can be charged to 80% inside 35 minutes.
The optional 9500-mAh charging case makes a lot of sense, particularly if paired with a spare MusicCam Pro as it enables plenty of video to be captured and having experienced a very similar set-up with the Zygo, it protects, recharges and organizes everything in one case which is comforting when you’re moving between adventures and have a place for all the bits.
