HTC RE camera can be easily masked as a throat sprayer in your jacket's front pocket
A camera that could be simply mistaken with a throat sprayer being a good masked video camera sitting invisibly in your front pocket. You can easily shoot video just walking by the streets and making your dirty work all around!
HTC isn't stating that this oddly looking friend can compete with GoPro series cameras, they're just saying that you might need it right when the video record time visits you and you have no smartphone quickly accessible to use. It's much more convenient to touch a start button with your finger on the device that is already waiting for action in your pocket. HTC even tells us that it is not waterproof and damage resistant enough to go on skiing or rafting, so think for yourself where you might use it in a daily life.
Few tips to use it may come from the outer specs of the device. As you have already noted it is small. And as a small device its weight is also small - only 65.5 grams (2.31 ounces) with dimensions:96.7 x 26.5mm. So it could be useful to take the small and easily reachable camera somewhere where you go on the vocation or just for a ride with your friends. Just imagine that when you feel yourself excited and there is no time to think of a hardly removable phone sitting tight in your jeans pocket, there is an excellent way to instantly start recording the moment you wish to be remembered for the entire life and not only in your mind, but video registered.
And do not be afraid that this video reminiscence will have a worse quality than your eyes could have remembered. Actually there's a 16MP sensor installed, shooting at 1080p/30fps video and 4x slow-motion 720p video and time-lapse recording, and features a CMOS sensor of 1/2.3-inch size along with a lens of 146-degree wide-angle range.
The video and photo shooting is solved with a single button: press it quick for a still image or hold for a few seconds to start video record. Another button will let you take slow motion pictures, above it there's a mic and beneath it there's a speaker and LED indicator, allowing you to instantly turn it on automatically with no other buttons to push, as HTC wants you to use it immediately with no other electricity source triggers to think about. The LED indicator knows exactly when to switch your RE camera, as when you keep it in the pocket where only the darkness rules there's no sense to devour your accumulator senselessly. Still think about the device that it is just an inhaler not capable for anything? Maybe the indicator will be slow to turn the device, but is much more convenient than looking for a small "turn on" button in the dark. It’s only one start button to commence the capturing.
At the watertight foundation a microSD slot is situated with an already assigned 8GB card coming as a part of the set, which can be easily taken away and interchanged with another one up to 128GB of free storage.
It is made of a glossy plastic, which does not fall out of your sticky hands with possibility to choose between following colors: black, white, blue, teal or orange. The device is compatible not only with HTC smartphones, it can smoothly work with all Android and iOS based devices of the latest versions. You can use your tablets or smartphones to change the slow-mo settings of your RE camera and actually app is the only way to do it. Also by pairing it with your smart devices using its Bluetooth LE you can manage the 3rd party options with an API or use the WiFi Direct for files transferring and all of the other features for reconfiguring your camera the way you want.
The water and dust resistance rating RE camera has is IPx7, which can be upgraded to IPx8 after an additional protective cap is bought. 840mAh battery is able to record up to an hour and 40 minutes of continuous 1080p video or 1,200 16MP photo shootings.
The periscope camera is already available for pre-order now at a cost of $200, though all of its advantages are null, when remembering the new GoPro Hero 4 action camera with an interface on the device and other reasonable options only at a twice higher price.

GoPro Hero 4 cameras in Black and Silver editions can capture victorious video at an outstanding quality
GoPro has become a phenomenon in the world of extreme sports and leisure. You can see it in the most unexpected places. These cameras will invade the world with no fear in the soul of their holders to revoke the simple laws of air, water and earth elements. That is why the new GoPro4 will make the heart beats drum more often.
First of all GoPro Hero 4 is a compact, rugged, lightweight (less than 100 grams) action camera with a special attachment to anything (kiteboards, surf boards, windsurf boards and other kinds of sport boards, helmets, ski poles, cars, bikes, BMXs and other movable staff). Everyone will be able to enjoy hours of video about your achievements and exciting emotions in 4K quality.
GoPro Hero 4 is capable for recording video in 4K resolution at a speed of 30 frames per second, 2.7K at 50fps, 1440p at 80fps, and 720p/960p/1080p at 120fps. Such high video quality has become possible with a 2x more powerful processor and an advanced applications providing video streaming with high fidelity of sound in social media.
GoPro Hero 4 will also come with a 12-megapixel photo sensor with Night Lapse and Low Light modes for shooting in the dark, electronic image stabilization and a QuikCapture feature. You shouldn’t have special technical knowledge or skills to manage it. App allows you to control camera remotely using any phone or tablet and simplified menu makes settings intuitive. GoPro4 cameras are amazing because they have a waterproof casing with a flat lens for shooting under the water (up to 130ft or 40m). Built-in Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth, USB & HDMI are the only things that can bring you back home. The camera has the ability to capture static images during video recording and perform encoding.
For now we actually know that the new GoPro 4 friend will be available in two different specs: silver and black. The Silver Hero 4 unfortunately doesn’t offer 4K video at 30fps, but it delivers the professional video capture 4K at 15fps, 2.7K at 30fps, 1440p at 48fps, 1080p at 60fps, 960p at 100fps, and only 720p at 120fps. The most important hallmark of Silver model is an LCD display on the back side, which will be absent in Black Edition version.
GoPro Hero 4 has struck the retail shelves. Action Cameras of GoPro have become extremely popular as an excellent way to capture high video quality at a high speed. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for Silver Hero should be $399 and Hero 4 Black should cost $499, that is an acceptable price for the both GoPro cameras.

HTC Recamera should be another stunt video camera able to compete with GoPro cameras
A new competitor for the well-known GoPro cameras is coming on board with the periscope raised and ready for recording! Though this is all we’ve got for the moment, we are sure that this oddly looking camera might give a contest to GoPro, which are quite expensive.
All we can work with for the moment is a video from the official site and few leaked photos showing us the strange shape of the HTC Recamera. Watching the video we can note that the camera should be waterproof by seeing the people diving in the pool. And if we watch the video up to an end we can see that the camera can be used in the most extreme conditions or during the ordinary cycling, so it should be dust and damage resistant, just like the GoPro cameras.
What will be inside is still a mystery, but thanks to rumors, we might at least imagine that the sensor could be 16MP, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections will be available as well, and an app was considered for remote control via separate device whether it is HTC’s Android smartphone or, for example, Apple’s iPad tablet.
Who knows, maybe it will not be as useful, steady and immune to the environment, as GoPro Hero 4, but it will certainly show everything it is capable of. What will it be, should be told on October, 8th, as shown in video, when HTC raises their action recording periscope, and we’ll get back to you with more news or at least rumors once some of them revealed.
