HOYT TECH HCX-HD1
Could this be the best new kid on the block?
In fact in many ways it is already much better.......than dare I say it....GoPro HD Hero
HOYT TECH HCX-HD1
I have had a little play, and I am well impressed.... and it records in MOV. format not that MP4, which makes life much easier, loads of mounts and accessories....does everything with a 8mp camera too, and the biggy.....it has a screen so you can set it up right and see what what you have recorded...
My First Testing Video
- I have had both the normal and HD GoPros...the things I like about this cam over the GoPro are
- Very easy to turn on and off, I am not looking for tiny icons as on GP
- The batteries are Li-Ion batteries, better suited to cold temperature, unlike GP
- The LCD screen...a big thumbs up
- The rotating lens, even if your camera is at an angle, just rotate the lens to straighten the video.
- Records HD in MOV format, much much better than GPs MP4 format
- Take 8mp photos, GP takes 5mp pics
- Takes much less time to process, being MOV format
- Review footage after it has been taken, unlike GP, or more expense buying the new screen.
- Stands out much less than a GP, ie less wind resistant
- A 16gb card on the highest res will record 5 1/2 hrs of footage.
- Batteries will last around 2 1/2 - 3hrs recording....thats a lot of film
- Loop Recording, Set loop recording to 15, 35, or 45 minutes and when the recording reaches that length it will stop, save and start recording a new file
simply brilliant
