A few days ago, we have discussed about TomTom Bandit action
camera. One of unique features in this action camera is its ability to mark a
wide range of exciting moments that occur during the video recording, and then
combine them into one pack of video automatically. This feature is interesting
because you don't have to edit the video manually.
Now there is a new device named Trace which is created as an
action sports tracker. It is designed to monitor and analyze your extremes
activities. Trace Action Sports Tracker has a form like a hockey puck, with a
weight of about 40 grams. Its dimensions are very small, with a diameter of
approximately 5 cm and a thickness of about 2 cm. As a sports tracker, Trace
must be strong physically; it is shockproof and waterproof to a depth of about
10 meters, while the battery can last up to 10 hours of usage.
Inside the device there are 9-axis inertial sensors, making
it more accurate about 10-times compared to sensors embedded in a smartphone.
So far, Trace is intended for the surfer and snowboarder, which means that this
device can be mounted on the top of both the surf boards.
As you act on the waves or snow, Trace will monitor various
parameters, such as the locations based on GPS, the maximum and average speeds,
the mileage, calories burned, and a number of extreme attributes such as the
leap height, the time in the air, and also a number of waves you can conquer.
Furthermore, you can observe the details through Trace companion app for
Android or iOS.
But the best part is the synchronization function between
the Trace and GoPro or other action cameras. This function allows the Trace
software to edit the videos automatically, utilizing the data as the highlights
of the exciting moments in the videos.
As a sweetener, Trace software will also pile the
information layer on the videos, and
perform image processing so your videos will look more attractive thanks to the
contrast and color adjustments.
Trace Action Sports Tracker can be obtained at the official website
for $ 200. If you often bring the GoPro action camera for surfing or
snowboarding, you may want to consider Trace to facilitate the editing process
that often spends a lot of time.
