Traxxas – GoPro RC Hero – Mini telecamera per modellismo dinamico

La Traxxas non smette mai di stupirci e dopo aver presentato il Summit ecco arrivare la Go Pro R/C Hero: una mini videocamera resistente all’acqua e alle sollecitazioni a cui sono sottoposti gli automodelli offroad. Si tratta delle stesse videocamere che la Traxxas ha installato nei truck in scala 1/1 che partecipano alle competizioni motoristiche CORR quindi la qualità video è sicuramente buona. In realtà non si tratta di un prodotto sviluppato dalla ditta texana ma della versione per modellisti delle video camere per sport estremi (e non) GoPro Hero. Vista la qualità e la resistenza agli urti di delle GoPro questo non può che farci piacere. Inserendo una Flash Card da 2Giga è possibile registrare ben 56 minuti di video con sonoro (con volume regolabile) oppure fino a 1400 fotografie. La  R/C Hero è dotata di tutti i supporti necessari all’installazione in un automodello, una barca radiocomandato o un aeromodello e può essere collegata a una televisione o a un computer tramite il cavo USB in dotazione.

CARTELLA STAMPA UFFICIALE DELLA TRAXXAS:

The new Traxxas 5840 GoPro R/C HERO camera lets hobbyists see the view from behind the wheel of their RC car, airplane, or boat in full TV quality video. This miniature waterproof camera easily mounts to vehicles by using the included self adhesive mounting plates and quick release brackets to capture a driver seat view.

R/C HERO’s 170-degree wide angle lens captures all the action with 30fps video, or choose still mode to shoot 5 megapixel photos. R/C HERO can be set to shoot a still photo every 2 or 5 seconds for time-lapse photography, or select ‘burst’ mode to shoot three shots at a time. Offload video or stills to your computer using the supplied USB cable, or plug R/C HERO directly into a television using the included RCA adapter for instant viewing. Two lithium or NiMH AAA batteries* (not included) power R/C HERO for up to 2 hours of video capture or 1400 still photos.

With its waterproof polycarbonate housing, R/C HERO is perfect for boat applications. Aim it over the bow for a driver’s perspective—or look astern and capture the roost from the
prop. Adjustable brackets let you set the camera angle in your car or truck, and R/C HERO is built tough to handle high performance driving in any terrain. It’s the same camera Team Traxxas uses in their full-size Pro 2WD and Pro 4WD shortcourse racing trucks! R/C HERO is also perfect for full-size action in your car, on your motorcycle helmet, or wherever your action sports take you.
