Kodak licensee JK Imaging has recently introduced the PixPro SP360
action camera to its lineup of active photo equipment. The SP360 offers
an extreme 360 degree viewing range thanks to its ultra-wide F2.8 lens,
and is able to capture full HD video footage along with 10MP stills.
The SP360 uses a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor (though offers 1:1 10MP
stills as its highest resolution output) for recording MP4 1080p video
at 30fps or 720p video at 60fps. The unit can also capture 10MP JPEGs at
up to 10fps in burst shooting mode. The camera itself is designed to
survive drops of 2 meters, along with temperatures as low as -10°C/14°F,
and is also dustproof and water resistant.
Users can user built-in Wi-Fi to control shooting via the PixPro
Remote Viewer app for Android and iOS, with NFC available for easier
pairing. Five viewing modes are available including 360 degrees
Panorama, Front (212 degrees), Split with 180 degrees front and rear
views simultaneously, Dome (214 degrees) and Ring/Sphere (360 degrees).
The unit supports the use of MicroSD and MicroSDHC cards up to 32GB, and
the internal battery provides approximately 350 shots or 160 minutes of
1080p video. The SP360 is also quite small and light, weighing in at
only 103g/3.63 oz.
The Kodak PixPro SP360 is available now for around $349. Learn more at JK Imaging's website.
Press release:
New Kodak PIXPRO SP360 Action Cam Redefines 360 Degrees HD Video And Panoramic Photography With A Single, Compact And Personal Device
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28, 2014 -- JK Imaging, Ltd., the worldwide
licensee for KODAK PIXPRO Digital Cameras and Devices, announced today
its new SP360 Action Cam. This game-changing, innovative and highly
portable device is designed to capture stunning 360 degrees HD videos
and fully immersive images all in one shot and without the need for
multiple cameras and devices.
The SP360 Action Cam is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand
and sports a unique, dome-shaped fixed lens that captures stunning 360
degrees HD videos (30fps) that can be shot and viewed from multiple
vantage points including: 360 degrees Panorama, Front (212 degrees),
Split with 180 degrees front and rear views simultaneously, Dome (214
degrees) and Ring/Sphere (360 degrees) modes.
Until now, 360 degrees panoramic photography required most users to
possess some advanced techniques, specialized equipment, editing
software to stitch content together and most importantly, the need for
multiple cameras. "The SP360 Action Cam revolutionizes this sometimes
cumbersome process and streamlines what really matters, capturing users
not only doing what they love, but them engulfed in doing it," said Mike
Hackett, executive vice president of JK Imaging, Ltd.
The SP360 Action Cam goes beyond just capturing fully immersive 360
degrees HD video and adds a new level of interactivity with free,
de-warping app software included for Mac or PC based systems, that
allows owners to edit their content post capture. Once the HD video is
downloaded from the SP360 to a computer, users have the ability to pan
and select a multitude of viewing angles (including: top, left and
right) and save them as new video files. Users can also select
individual frames from different viewing perspectives in the HD video
and save them as hi-resolution still photos for even more creative ways
to capture and share their passions and experiences.
For even more flexibility, the SP360 is equipped with a motion sensor
setting to automatically trigger recording when it detects movement,
especially helpful for hands-free activities. The SP360 Action Cam is
Wi-Fi® enabled and allows quick connection to a smart phone, smart
device or personal computer (iOS™ 6, Android™ 4.0, Mac™ OS X10.9, or
Windows™ 8/7 systems or higher) to act as an additional method of remote
control or for viewing the content the user is shooting from up to 65
feet away. The SP360 uses the free PIXPRO SP360 iOS or Android-based App
available in Apple's iTunes and Google Play stores now.
The KODAK PIXPRO SP360 Action Cam is splash proof, freezeproof (-10
degrees c), shockproof (2m), and dustproof. It is compatible with a
microSDHC memory card, Class 6 or higher and up to 32GB capacity (memory
card sold separately). The SP360 Action Cam comes with: a rechargeable
Li-ion battery, battery charger, AC adapter, Micro USB cable, clear
plastic lens cover, protective lens cover, carrying case and cleaning
cloth.
The SP360 weighs only 3.63 ounces (103g) and is sold with 3 different
accessory bundles so users can take the action cam on the go depending
on their activity or adventures. The Explorer bundle for entry-level
(MSRP US$349), the Aqua bundle for watersports (MSRP US$349) and the
Extreme Accessories bundle (MSRP US$399) which includes: bar mount for
multiple mounting options such as handle-bars; flat adhesive mount for
skate or paddle board; curved adhesive mount head strap; helmet mounts;
surfboard adhesive mount; suction cup mount; extended arms; quick clip;
tethers; clear standard mount housing and clear waterproof housing.
