Just last week, we showed off Sony’s SteadyShot image stabilization technology in their Action Cam lineup from the CES 2015 show floor and earlier this week, we gave you an in depth look at the Sony 4K Action Cam FDR-X1000V. While our overview goes into detail about what you can expect the POV camera to over, it doesn’t include some of the finer details like dimensions, video formats, and more. Just as a recap, some features of the 4K Action Cam include:
- Professional 4K (3840 x 2160) video recording with up to 240p HD / 120p Full HD
- SteadyShot™ image stabilization works from bikes to aerial shot and more
- Control up to 5 Action Cam via phone or LiveView™ Remote3
- Splash proof body with universal tripod mount
- Built-in stereo mic for quality sound with wind noise reduction
- Automatically creates highlight video in MP4 from multiple clips
- Loop recording prevents running out of memory card
- Live stream your video via Ustream
- Advanced manual control allows flexibility in movie expression
- Ultra wide up to 170° pro quality f/2.8 bright ZEISS® lens
After the jump, you’ll find the Sony 4K Action Cam specs.
