The Liquid Image Freestyle Series Swim Camera Goggle (Black) is an underwater goggle featuring an integrated 1.3MP (1280 x 960) camera with CMOS sensor. It records VGA video (640 x 480) at a rate of up to 30fps, for crisp, clear underwater movies at depths up to 15' (4.6 m). The camera features a 3mm f/2.8 lens with IR filter, as well as an LCD status panel. The camera goggle is simple to use: There's a button for On/Off/Mode and another button to operate the shutter. Recording a video or capturing a photo is as easy as turning on the camera, selecting a mode and pressing the shutter button. Indicator LEDs inside the goggle notify you of which mode is selected. The primary buttons are positioned along the upper right side of the frame. A third button located on the lower right side activates a high-powered LED flashlight for additional underwater illumination as needed.
The camera goggle is equipped with 2GB internal memory. A USB 2.0 cable is included, enabling you to transfer files to a computer. The camera goggle is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. It's powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which lasts for approximately 1.5 hr of video capture or 1 hr 5 min. with the LED flashlight on.
The combination of goggle and camera in one compact package allows you to travel with fewer items and keep your hands free during swimming and relatively shallow diving. Thus, you can focus less on the mechanics of getting the shot--and more on enjoying the moment.
