Today LeEco has unveiled a new device. The Chinese company has decided to make its
entrance into the increasingly ever more crowded action camera market. LeEco clearly wants to compete with Yi's cameras as well as GoPro.
The LeEco action camera is called Liveman C1, and it
can shoot 4K video at 30fps. That puts it on equal footing to the original Yi
4K device, but it can't match the new Yi 4K+'s 60fps recording abilities.
The Liveman C1 has a 16 MP camera sensor, 140-degree
field of view, and a G-sensor in order to support automatic recording when
movement is sensed. A 1.8-inch touchscreen will serve as the viewfinder, and
the camera has Wi-Fi built-in, a microSD card slot, a micro HDMI port, and a
1,050 mAh battery.
In the box you get the camera itself, a waterproof
case that lets you shoot at up to 40m underwater, two self adhesive mounts, a
bunch of extensions, and a USB cable for charging. The Liveman C1 will become
available in China before the Spring Festival on January 28. Pricing hasn't
been announced yet unfortunately.
