What is better than taking live-action pictures and then posting them on your social website of choice? How about live HD video that can be posted even quicker. That’s exactly what gobandit’s LIVE is capable of, along with a whole lot more. LIVE isn’t your typical HD video camera however, it boasts some interesting features geared toward people who love extreme sports like skydiving or alligator wrestling. The camera uses a GPS sensor that display’s your location on the video being recorded along with a barometric altitude and a heart-rate sensor that’s stamped on the video as well. (To show you are not faking it, I suppose.)
Included is a g-force accelerometer that lets you know how fast you’re traveling and a 170 degree wide-angle lens that lets you capture all the action as it happens. What makes this camera truly different from the others is the fact that it houses built-in Wi-Fi that lets you incorporate your smartphone to edit and upload the action to the web. (A cellular option is on the way. However, it will most likely not be 3G, since it would take a long time to upload an HD video at 1.2Mbps.)
Gobandit also has adapted LIVE to fit on most sport devices, from a picatinny rail mount for guns to the end of surfboards.
LIVE also comes with gobandit’s STUDIO app that lets you add different skins and other data as well as increasing the frame-rate for the ‘slow-motion’ intense action effect. The gobandit LIVE HD video camera will be available on March 1 2012 for $429 US along with a similar camera without the Wi-Fi for $329 US.
