Panasonic India has launched today its rugged wearable HD camera HX-A1. Panasonic rugged wearable HD camera HX-A1 is priced at Rs. 19,990.
This is ultra compact camera and weighs approximately 45 grams making shooting hands-free compatible even over longer periods. With this camera, you can record exciting scenes in Full HD. The rugged camera is waterproof to 1.5m without the need for extra housing, shockproof to 1.5m, dustproof and even freezeproof down to minus 10 degrees C.
According to Panasonic, the HX-A1 has a 0 Lux Night Mode for recording no-light japes. The camera itself includes an IR filter (night mode) and can be used with an infrared light source to catch that pesky red-eyed tree frog. It also features loop recording so you don’t need to worry about running out of storage. When recording for longer than an hour, this mode retains the most recent hour of scenes by erasing earlier scenes. The camera keeps recording seamlessly, by managing video in two-minute segments.
This Wi-Fi wearable camera can be mounted to a Multi Mount onto your goggles, shoulder bags or helmets or onto a tripod using a Tripod Mount. There’s plenty of optional accessories available including a handlebar mount, extended battery, twin mount for a light source, clip mount and head mount. It also captures footage up to Full HD and has a slow motion mode capable of shooting 60fps at 720p or 120fps at 480p.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Gaurav Ghavri, Product Head, Panasonic India, said, “Panasonic India has made a sustained effort to grow in the market by offering our innovative and technologically advanced products to cater to the ever evolving customer needs in the camera segment.
