A year later and one hundred dollars cheaper than its predecessor, outline Seattle-based camera Contour + 2 action announced this week and will be available later this month. Later improves on the previous generation with a watering of the characteristics of other models in the range, new accessories and a different content sharing mode. Oh, and you can now use your smartphone (Android, iPhone) for all remote control measures.
+ 2 Not only records 1080p video and 480 p SD at 120 FPS video, but incorporates now "data-rich" as the speed, altitude and distance with his GPS receiver integrated right at the top of any video that users register and upload on Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo. Very neat and useful for the adrenaline drugs. What can be done with the app for your PC or your Mac storyteller.
Also included in the $399.99 package is a side waterproof cases 60 metres, a 4 GB microSD card and a mini HDMI cable for live streaming. Other improvements include an external port micro and video enhanced lens rotation of 270 degrees. And there is no more the power button. Drag the cursor forward, and you are good to go. A locking mechanism is also in place to ensure that your videos do not stop recording until you are ready to stop. The power button has since replaced by a "status" button that fires a levelling laser, among other things.
But the coolest feature in my opinion be the best Bluetooth connectivity that transforms your smartphone into a remote viewfinder for the + 2. Everything that the camera sees is sent directly to your phone rental you tweak your photos before you start recording, you can activate this phone. Turn on Bluetooth is also easier with a button on the top of the slider.
We will have a review of the aircraft in the coming weeks. In the meantime, feel free to ask questions in the comments.
