Personal Surf Cameras

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Gath Surfcam

— January 19, 2008 — Tech
Record yourself surfing with a lightweight surf camera. You might look like a wierdo from space to everyone else, but the video will certainly be cool! You can also use the camera for other aqua sports like kayaking and ocean wind surfing.

The Gath Surfcam website describes, "Go surfing for 1 to 2 hours, just leave it filming, then plug into your lap top, computer or TV and relive your total session or quickly scan through to the action."

Here are some of the product details:

- The Flash Memory Video Recorder is powered by two AA batteries (not included), ample for at least three, one hour surfs.

- The LCD displays a low battery warning icon when the batteries need replacing.

- PC requirement is Windows XP or Windows 2000.

- Resolution adjustable to 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 pixels.

- Frame Rate adjustable to 30 fps for smoother motion picture recording or 15 fps for longer recording time on lower picture quality.

- Rear screw cap is sealed by two o-rings and when unscrewed exposes the USB and RCA connectors, SD card and battery compartment.
Trend Themes
1. Surf Cameras - Opportunity for new and improved surf cameras with enhanced features and capabilities to capture and share unique surfing experiences.
2. Water Sports Cameras - Potential for innovative cameras designed specifically for water sports like kayaking, wind surfing, and more, allowing users to record and relive their adventures.
3. Action Cameras - Rise of action cameras that are lightweight, portable, and durable, enabling users to capture their activities hands-free and share compelling footage.
Industry Implications

2. Sporting Goods - Opportunities for the sporting goods industry to offer specialized cameras for water sports enthusiasts, catering to their specific needs and requirements.
3. Digital Technology - Innovative possibilities in the digital technology sector to create high-resolution cameras with improved features and connectivity options for seamless sharing and editing of footage.
