There's more than one hero in the 'Go Pro' market. And with avid anglers, boaters, sailors and divers wanting to capture the action, Shimano's new multisport CM-1000 camera is a keen new player.
The specifications of Shimano’s light and compact CM-1000 Sport Camera include full HD resolution, 10m underwater ability with no housing, 135 or super-wide 180 degree viewing angle options, an F2.0 lens perfect for low light conditions, a battery that takes less than four hours to charge, and two-hour battery running time.
What’s more, it’s possible to link it to other devices via WI-FI, ANT+ and ANT private connectivity.
The Shimano Sport Cam comes with a lens cover, adhesive mount, vented head mount, USB cable, and an instruction manual. Optional accessories include a case waterproof to 80 metres, tripod, arm extender, flat polarised lens cover and silicone sleeve.
It’s not only a video camera though; the CM-1000 will also take still images at 6MP 4:3 (2848 x 2136). You will never miss a fishing or boating photographic opportunity ever again with its new CM-1000 Sport Camera, Shimano says.
There are three settings including high definition, the inbuilt App works with Apple and Android, and retail price is around $400.
