Thrill seekers have a new toy for their arsenal. After teasing us with a preview, Gobandit has lifted the veil off its new HD helmet cam, the Gobandit LIVE. The camera lets you shoot and share your videos on the fly by adding built-in Wi-Fi, so the minute you’re within range of a hotspot, the camera can beam your videos out to Facebook or YouTube. Alternatively, you can zap videos direct to your iPhone for instant review or editing.
The waterproof camera can sense your surroundings and record your position, speed, and acceleration using its 170-degree wide-angle lens and GPS. Or to add an extra level of adrenaline to your videos, connect it with any external ANT+ devices to record your heart rate throughout the action.
The camera is equipped with a gyroscopic sensor and captures 1080p video at 30fps. It weighs 0.31 lbs. and can be mounted on a helmet, bike, or car. If you don’t care for the built-in Wi-Fi, Gobandit will also offer the Gobandit Race, which packs the same features as the LIVE model, excluding the wireless. Both cameras will be available this March with pricing at $429 and $329, respectively.
What do we know about the gobandit digital camcorder? Not much, but the CES teaser said to “Get ready for something new,” and promised readers: “Now you can shoot, show and share much more than a video clip. gobandit captures experience more detailed than ever. Full HD, GPS, acceleration sensor, gyroscope and 150° wide angel show you more than words could ever tell.”
