Want to impress your followers on Instagram? Or want the children to explore and document their adventure, without destroying a £300 camera? The GoXtreme Vision 4K is a compact video and still image action camera with class leading features, which you can use to shoot footage of you snorkelling in the Mediterranean, or biking around the Amalfi Coast.
As much as I love taking snazzy photos, I hate carrying a big camera around my neck and would rather leave it at home and snap everything on my trusted phone. Why? It slides right into my pocket. With the GoXtreme being lightweight and small enough to slide into your pocket or bag, one of the best things about this device is that you don’t notice the added luggage.
However, what gives me anxiety about carrying my phone with me? Accidentally dropping it into the pool when trying to perfect my Snapchat Story. Luckily, the GoXtreme comes with a waterproof case, which not only is handy, but means you can shoot videos of nearby jellyfish roaming in the sea.
The device captures stunning ultra-high definition true 4K/24fps video recording and still image capture at up to 16MP – and even though your phone may do a better job at taking photos, the video footage is where it works best. The 170-viewing angle, built-in 2.0" LCD screen and WiFi connectivity allow you to capture, view and share every detail on the fly without the need for a PC, while the wide selection of accessories and mounts including the 30M waterproof case, make the Vision 4K an unbeatable package at an incredible price.
Quite simple to use, even for the tech-scared, their app allows you to easily navigate, and the variety of settings you can choose from makes it easier to change your setting preferences when the action camera is strapped to your bike or your helmet. The camera comes with a bike, helmet and clip mount, as well as a tripod and monopod adaptor, especially for those wanting to capture their adventures.
There are a variety of ways to access your footage, from the microSD card (the device doesn’t come with one of these), or by using the miniUSB slot or WiFi. Quite cleverly, the built-in Wi-Fi, when used with the free smartphone app, provides a live view from your camera to your smartphone, remote control via smartphone and file transfer from camera to smartphone, for quick and convenient viewing and sharing of your videos and photos without the need for a PC.
The GoXtreme is the best way to delve into what could be your new hobby, or keeping the kids entertained. Whilst it may not be up there with GoPro, it definitely a piece of kit you would benefit packing in your suitcase this summer!
