Mini video camera goes underwater
Posted by: Maria Mihale in Gadgets

Whenever people are fond of certain activities and they enjoy them more than anything else, they’re predisposed to do whatever it takes in order to capture those moments. But what are you supposed to do when you love being under water and you’d rather spend your time within this universe than on earth?

It’s understandable, if I think about it. Bright and shiny little fishes must be captured no matter what. And you should be grateful, because Thanko has managed to solve this problem for you. They came up with a mini camera that goes underwater. More than that, you won’t have to worry about its portability, because it will be easy for you to use, as you can see for yourself. Attach it to your goggles and you’re ready to go! Or you can use the headband provided by Thanko and look like a total geek!
The waterproof camera is resistant to depths of no more than 20 meters and has an internal memory of 2GB, which is pretty enough. The video can be recorded in a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and at 25 frames per second (fps). It has, on the other hand, a USB 1.1 interface.
When it comes to charging its battery, it won’t last more than 2 hours and then you’ll be able to use for approximately 2-3 hours. The mini video camera measures 68 millimeters in length and 19 millimeters in diameter, and weighs no more than 22 grams. You can have one for $130, but only if you’re from Japan, unfortunately.
