Duovox has unveiled the Mate Pro camera and it comes loaded with some impressive features. The new camera which is being crowdfunded via Kickstarter is capable of making full-color photos and videos even in total darkness.
The new Douvox Mate Pro camera is a
compact camera that is built to replace traditional infra-red night vision
devices that output in black and white colors. It is meant for nighttime
adventurers, content creators, and any person willing to catch night beauty
unfettered. It is capable of taking high-quality shots and videos of very
low-light situations. An official specs sheet is lacking at this time but a
pre-production sample was presented to PetaPixel.
The Mate Pro night vision camera has
dimensions of 11.4cm x 7.6cm x 5.4cm for its width, depth, and height
respectively. It has a fixed length, non-removable lens, and the camera is
easily tucked away when not in use. A lens cap is however not present in the
camera, calling for extra caution in its handling. The camera weighs about 216g
and it is front-heavy due to the lens apparatus. A mini tripod is part of the
package to provide a sturdy stand for the device. There are six buttons at the
top of the Duovox Mate Pro including the power, shutter, and a few shortcut
buttons.
The array of camera settings and menu for
the Mate Pro can be assessed via its 3-inch touchscreen at the back of the
camera. The right side of the camera has a USB-C port and microSD card slot
that can accommodate up to a 512GB card. This offers several hours of video and
tons of photos saved on the device. The Duovox Mate Pro camera has a 3,000mAh
non-removable battery that offers several hours of video activity on a full
charge. The settings of the Mate Pro camera contain loads of options and modes
that make the device quite versatile.
The signature feature of the Duovox Mate
Pro seems to be its night vision capabilities. Its SONY STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor
helps to capture very low-light images and videos in full color. The seven-lens
camera setup helps to deliver high-quality images and videos of different
resolutions and combine them into a single photo. The infra-red filter helps to
retain the color fidelity of the shots or videos.
While the original price of the Duovox
Mate Pro night vision camera has been put at US$ 1,200, the Kickstarter platform
has seen the price reduced to US$ 599 with the first deliveries expected in
October 2022. It remains to be seen how the current specs will match the
reality when the Mate Pro is released to the market in October. We expect
Duovox to keep to the timeline barring any setbacks.
