1. A video recording hands-free device, comprising:

  • a storage medium;

    an optical sensor through which the hands-free device is to receive an input image signal;

    a processor coupled to the optical sensor and the storage medium, the processor configured to;

    process the input image signal received from the optical sensor into an encoded video data stream;

    store the encoded video data stream as recorded video data in the storage medium; and

    receive and process a video control command to create a video clip file from a logical segment of the recorded video data; and

    manage at least a portion of the storage medium as a circular buffer and overwrite the recorded video data stored in a subset of memory addresses corresponding to an older recorded video frame with the encoded video data corresponding to a newer video frame; and

    an exterior button to, when pressed by a user of the video recording hands-free device, cause the video control command to be issued to the processor, wherein the video control command is an instant-clip video control command; and

    wherein the processor is further configured to process the instant-clip video control command by performing the following;

    identify the logical segment to include recorded video data from the circular buffer of a predetermined time interval backward in time from receipt or issuance of the instant-clip video control command;

    create the video clip file for the logical segment; and

    store the video clip file in the storage medium.
