ParaShoot Started Shipping Its First Units In A Completely Overhauled Design
Although the project was shot down by Kickstarter, the ParaShoot wearable camera found its fortune elsewhere. Not long before it turned to Indiegogo, the developers raised over $150,000 and have already started shipping their first units. However, if you count yourself among the numerous users who saw an opportunity in backing up the only customizable, wireless, multi-use, HD camera, then be warned: ParaShoot looks nothing like the product you expected.
ParaShoot underwent a drastic redesign
During the switch from Kickstarter to Indiegogo, ParaShoot gained a bundle of unique customization options and a rectangular case that ensures image stabilization. Nevertheless, you will be happy to learn that all changes were for the better. The wearable camera is now available with an improved video recording feature able to stream content at 1080p HD. Moreover, the battery got more juice, since the developers increased its capacity to 825 mAh.
In addition, ParaShoot now weighs one ounce and includes a wide variety of personalized skins that allow you to change the look of your device. The best part is that the case modification and skins are not intended to conceal the always-on recorder, but rather to make the device comfortably fit in your pocket.
They kept the best features
The developers managed to keep ParaShoot’s two best features, namely the option to store the last five minutes of captured media and the ability to set photo and video capturing intervals as you see fit. Because ParaShoot is a wireless camera, you can upload the footage instantly and securely to the cloud service of your choice. Alternatively, you can find your videos and pictures on the 16 GB MicroSD Card included in the device.
If you’re eager to get your hands on the newly revamped ParaShoot, then you must be prepared to pay the $500 shipping fee charged for early access. When the camera begins rolling out for all the backers later on in March, the device will be available for only $169.
