Gobandit Live with WiFi offers thrill-seekers quicker sharing, speedier self-indulgence
Two years ago, the Gobandit GPS HD brought an action camcorder to the masses that actively tracked location, speed and altitude. In the same tradition, the Gobandit Live brings an expanded set of features geared toward adrenaline junkies, which include a gyroscopic sensor, 1080p capture at 30fps, a 170-degree f/2.8 wide angle lens and -- oh yeah, WiFi. While this last feature certainly won't be usable on the mountain or along the trail, it allows clips to be uploaded instantly once the camera is back within range. For those who'd rather do without WiFi, the Gobandit Race provides an otherwise similar feature set at a lower price. Both will be available in the US and Canada beginning March 1st, and will retail for $419 and $319, respectively. The full PR is just beyond the break, though if you want to learn more, check the company's website instead.

EXPERIENCE RELOADED – gobandit LAUNCHES THE WORLD'S FIRST ACTION CAM WITH INTEGRATED Wi-Fi™ AT CES
New gobandit LIVE Allows Adrenaline Junkies Share Experiences Even Faster
Las Vegas, NV – gobandit, a power player and innovative manufacturer of high definition action video devices, announced a technical innovation today at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, gobandit LIVE. The first action cam in the world to integrate wireless connectivity, gobandit LIVE allows adrenaline junkies to view, edit and share their videos with their smartphone instantly. With gobandit LIVE, athletes can now share their experiences on the fly.
Like the first gobandit action cam, gobandit LIVE allows users to integrate performance data, such as speed, altitude and position to name a few, into their videos. Journalists and sports-minded people can explore these and other technical features of the innovative HD cam at CES, in booth 3419 in the North Hall. The brand new gobandit LIVE action cam produces more than just video clips – it records experiences as authentic and detailed as possible, and allows people to share them instantly on the gobandit community or on social networks such as Facebook and YouTube.
gobandit LIVE's integrated GPS and acceleration sensors record with maximum accuracy the speed and altitude where a stunt was performed. A 170-degree wide-angle lens provides the perfect focus to record the experience. Full HD-resolution ensures the highest quality playback of experiences. For sharp, slow-motion action playback the frame rate can be enhanced up to 60 frames per second. The gobandit LIVE 3-axis gyro sensor accurately records the camera's position in space and, leveraging the integrated wireless connection, athletes can even incorporate their heartbeat into the video* to capture every pulse-spiking second. Complementing LIVE is gobandit studio, the innovative app that allows users to individualize their videos by adding skins and performance data. Athletes can relive their performance and share it on social networks.
"Our new high-definition gobandit LIVE and studio has all of the technology needed to record, edit and share adrenalin-pumping experiences with your friends and online communities," said Aleks Ristic, CEO and co-founder, gobandit GmbH. "It's the perfect video solution for any thrill-packed adventure. Gobandit excels where others fall short. Every shot counts and with the gobandit LIVE and studio, you are armed and ready to share the action!"
Also launched today is gobandit RACE. Like gobandit LIVE, RACE records GPS information in 170-degree, full HD-quality videos. Providing all of the capabilities or LIVE without wireless connectivity, gobandit RACE is for adventures who like to disconnect.
Both Gobandit LIVE and RACE weigh less than one-third-of-a-pound (0.31 pounds), measure 4.1 by 2.4 by 1.3-inches (H x W x D) in size,( 105 x 62 x 34 mm) and are the perfect companion for extreme sports. With a wide variety of different mounting solutions available, gobandit cams can join almost every adventure.
