Portable high-definition recording Fengyun compass camera trial play

IT 168？ Evaluation In China, the conditions for the popularization of GoPro are still immature, and it belongs to the plaything of a few people. Unless you are a sports madman who doesn't worry about the financial burden and likes taking selfies and being crazy, you will become the target user of GoPro. But you know, most people prefer to shoot leisurely and slow-paced videos. Are there any other options besides cell phones and cameras?

Faced with the reality that professional sports cameras are not close to the people and the circle is too small, ordinary people are more willing to try to record the wearable cameras used in their lives, share them with people around them as a social imprint of rapid spread like WeChat friends circle, and even play indoor and outdoor live videos: mini-portable, smooth to operate, with guaranteed image quality, avoiding hand-held restrictions. To meet this demand, Bian Xiao will launch Foream Compass mini wearable camera today.

▲ Product packaging and accessories

▲Foream？ compass

The simple structure makes Compass a mini wearable camera, which is very light and can be held in your hand or clipped on clothes. Its volume is 43×43× 13.8mm, which is less than half of a palm and weighs only 34 grams. In terms of interface, Compass is only equipped with TF card slot (maximum expansion of 32GB) and Micro USB interface. Generally speaking, an 8GB memory card can satisfy the activity records of most users in one day. After connecting the USB interface to the computer, you can manage the video files in the memory card conveniently.

The lens adopts an 8-megapixel image sensor, and the 78 field of view provides a wide enough undistorted field of view. F2.2 The large aperture keeps the clarity in low light environment, and the matching processor is Anba A7 in the field of professional sports cameras. Officials claim to have done a good job in restoring the details of the film. In addition, there is a mode switch button on the front.

▲WIFI key and indicator light

When the camera is on, click the WIFI button. When the indicator light turns green, the camera will generate a WIFI network for the mobile phone to connect to, and then you can directly connect the camera in Foream APP and watch the shooting picture through the screen.

▲ Standby status indicator: yellow

The different colors of the camera indicator light represent different operating states, yellow indicates shooting state, green indicates recording (flashing green), purple indicates delayed shooting mode, and red (flashing green) indicates charging state. There may be friends who like to hide in the collar of their clothes and shoot videos, but they don't want to attract attention. You can turn off the light in the APP.

▲ List of official accessories

▲ Colorful silicone sleeve

▲ Tile+silicone sleeve

The silicone sleeve is enough for the camera to bear the impact of 1.2M, so it is best to cover the camera when shooting outdoors. The metal surface of the silicone cover just attracts the magnetic sticker, and the magnetic sticker is placed in the clothes, so that the camera wearing the silicone cover can "stick" on the clothes to shoot.

▲ Back clip+silicone sleeve

You can also try another way to wear it, the back clip+silicone sleeve, and the metal clip firmly sticks the camera to the collar or shoulder strap of the backpack, so you don't have to worry about the tile falling off accidentally.

▲ selfie stick

Compass also has a built-in Bluetooth 4.0 module, which is also suitable as a camera on the Bluetooth selfie stick. 78 wide-angle lens, self-timer can accommodate more and clearer scenes.

Application uses:

The mobile phone needs to install an APP called "Foream Connect" and directly connect to the compass camera.

▲ Direct interface

Before shooting video, press the camera WIFI key. When the indicator light turns green, immediately disconnect the current WIFI network of the mobile phone and connect the WIFI hotspot generated by the camera. Then, operate the interface with three options: screen preview, camera file and setting.

▲ Picture preview interface 320P picture quality

In the direct connection state, the compass watches the camera shooting through the mobile phone, and the preview screen of the mobile phone will be delayed for about one second because of the WIFI signal transmission screen. The preview interface shows the reading rate of the lens picture at the top right, and there is a video button and a photo button at the bottom, but the video delay function is not online yet. In addition, whether in the preview state or the recording state, the mobile phone displays 320P low bit rate image quality (low WIFI transmission rate), but actually the recorded video file is still an ideal HD version.

▲ Camera file interface

Video files and photo files recorded by the camera are displayed here, which supports playback operation. As mentioned above, playing in Foream APP is not a high-definition version. You might as well read the files in the memory card directly through your mobile phone, or download and watch them tirelessly. Of course, you can also connect to a computer to watch them.

▲ video highlights

In order to add a little social interest, you can also intercept the pictures in the video, choose a variety of different styles of filters to make the screenshots more interesting, and share the generated pictures to major social platforms at any time.

▲ Setup interface

The setting interface contains many adjustable options, such as resolution switching, setting different recording frame rates of 720P and 1080P, and the indicator switch mentioned above.

▲ Online mode

Disconnect the camera and enter the application online mode. The main interface displays several major video columns, such as sports, fashion, pets, individuals, aerial photography, tourism and so on. Each column contains the works of Foream camera users. Click in and you will see many highly appreciated videos. There are comment and forward buttons below the video, which is convenient for readers to interact with the author. These are basically recorded by Foream sports cameras, which brings a strong sense of presence and entertainment atmosphere, which is why the wonderful videos recorded by sports cameras on Youtube have a very high number of fans.

▲ Bring your own network disk.

APP also has a network disk function, which supports uploading and downloading. No matter the video photos taken or the machine, they can be uploaded to the network disk and shared in the community. The videos saved in the network disk can also be downloaded and watched on different mobile phones through accounts.

Video shooting (wearing a collar):

▲ 1080P/30FPS recording video during the day (ultra-clear mode is recommended).

In the case of sufficient light during the day, thanks to the 8 megapixel camera and the large aperture of F2.2, the compass has excellent picture resolution and transparency. Although the lens does not have anti-glare conditions, it can quickly adapt to the environment with large light and dark difference. The lens will not be blurred because of jitter, and the rough details in the distance can also be captured, so the usability of anti-shake is good.

▲ 1080P/30FPS indoor video recording (ultra-clear mode is recommended).

The light in the shopping mall below is complex, and there is slight smear during the shaking of the compass, and the large-area highlight area appears obvious whitening. Fortunately, this is not an exaggeration. On the premise of slow pace, we still captured a clear picture and presented the details quite well.
