At a time when the cameras have paws on the rise, those at the top of GoPro, JVC wants a piece of cake. This market has become highly competitive in a few months, the manufacturer generalist between the front door with a model of both tight and Wi-Fi.

Waterproof and wireless

First representative of the range “Adixxion”, the “GC-XA1” claims to begin designing a “quad proof”. It is actually waterproof up to 5 m deep, dustproof, resistant to drops from 2 m high and frost-proof, without additional shell, unlike the GoPro.

Despite being one of the few to pick its own viewfinder with those of CAMSPORTS and Drift, it also embeds a Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing not only to frame and then share with a Android smartphone or iOS, but also broadcast live on Ustream website, through a smartphone mode modem for example.

However it is home or GPS or gyro, unlike those of contour or GoBandit example.

An anti-rolling shutter

In terms of the image itself, the “GC-XA1” CMOS sensor has a 5-megapixel Full HD 1080/30p shooting with a function to reduce rolling shutter, the unsightly effect that appears on the plans hectic. The field of view of the lens is unfortunately not release any more than the rechargeable battery life.

Comes with a headband attachment for attaching a mask and helmet sticker or body, the “JVC GC-XA1” in return is in the top tier of cameras paws the most expensive, since it is expected mid-July in France retail price of 377.79 US $.
