The Dutch company best known for its navigation tools GPS unveiled its first digital camera that sports should save assembly time on their videos. TomTom claims that his Bandit Action Camera is the first to integrate editing software, eliminating the need for a computer. The work is done directly on the camera and smartphone application dedicated before sharing his videos.
The Bandit camera embeds GPS motion sensors looking and mark the best moments depending on the speed videos, altitude and acceleration, but it is also possible to select these times by hand. Another advantage of this device capable of shooting with Ultra HD definition, function “shake” (“shock”): shaking the camera, we get rid of superfluous text to keep only those been marked.
“We know the frustration of people who own a camera action now is the time and effort required for installation, Corinne Vigreux explained, co-founder of TomTom Consumer. With TomTom Bandit we have reduced the assembly time from hours to minutes – and all thanks to some jerks! “ In addition, by purchasing a simple accessory to attach to the lens, the camera becomes waterproof and can be submerged up to 50 m without investing in a dedicated housing.
The manufacturer cautions that this camera is also equipped with a wide angle and a long battery life. It will be on sale during May in some retailers and the TomTom website for the tidy sum of 429 euros. A premium package will also be offered during June including accessories that will also be sold separately, says the company.
Kodak for example, developed an ultra-compact camera that can capture HD video at 360 degrees, the Kodak PixPro SP360 Action Cam (349 dollars, 310 euros) could have a bright future. It also includes motion detection, allowing him to start filming when, for example, an animal begins in the forest
