Photographers and YouTubers searching for a small
portable 4K camera complete with interchangeable lenses and gimbal system for
smooth quality recordings, may be interested in the new Idolcam. Which has this
week launched via Kickstarter and has already raised over US$ 35,000 with still 29
days remaining on its campaign.
Idolcam has been created to provide users with the
“world’s first pocket-sized camera” and is equipped with a three axis gimbal
normally more associated with drone cameras, as well as interchangeable lenses
that provide the quality of a DSLR camera. Other features include a 180 degree
flip-able touchscreen for vlogging and of course 4K video capture. “The 3 axis
gimbal provide very stable footage that will satisfy most users, but for
perfectionist users, a 4th axis suspension arm will further reduce the vertical
motion that 3 axis gimbal can’t compensate and produce true flying motion
comparable to drones and steady-cams.”
Check out the video below which provides footage
captured with an early Idolcam prototype while interviewing Naomi Wu who was
also featured recently in the Raspberry Pi official magazine. For full
specifications on the small portable 4K camera jump over to the official
Kickstarter campaign page by following the link below where pledges are
available for early bird backers from US$ 350 or £ 248. If all goes well worldwide
shipping is expected to take place during October 2018.
