A rather extraordinary action camera is the Olympus TG-Tracker ActionCam. It is waterproof up to 30 metres, can take loads of up to 100 kg and can operate in extremely low temperatures (-10 degrees Celsius). It also has GPS, a barometer, temperature sensors, an accelerometer and even a compass.
The special thing about this camera is not only the equipment but also the extravagant design. On other ActionCams the lens is mounted on the long side with the screen facing the camera.
On the Olympus, it is on the shorter side and the LCD display folds out like normal cameras.
Technical features
This camera model should be especially interesting for divers. Because it is extremely robust and waterproof, as well as having an enormously high image quality, it is ideal for water sports enthusiasts.
The dimensions of the Olympus TG-Tracker action camera are 9.5 x 3.5 x 5.5 cm The cam weighs about 181 g and is therefore a little heavier than other cameras in this class.
Thanks to the built-in LED, which is quite powerful, you can also dive in dark caves.
Camera sensor
Built in is a 4K camera lens with a 204 degree wide angle lens. With it you can capture your action-packed adventures in razor-sharp pictures.
Photos are balanced by a 5-axis image stabilizer so that they cannot be blurred or blurred.
Menu navigation and recording modes
The menu navigation is very simple and all elements can be easily reached by intuitive operation.
Even at maximum 4k resolution and 30 frames per second, the image stabilizer works pretty good. The stabilization works in 5 axes, so every action-packed adventure can be recorded without shaking.
Furthermore, a loop recording function and the possibility to start a time-lapse recording are available.
For time lapse, the following recording modes are available: 0.5sec, 1sec, 2sec, 5sec, 10sec, 30sec, 60sec.
Slow-motion movies can be recorded at a maximum frame rate of 240 fps.
The camera itself recognizes whether you are filming under or above the water. Depending on which medium it is in, it adjusts itself perfectly, so you don’t have to do anything.
Other special features
Included is a CSCH 125 Tracking mount, which can be easily attached to clothing or a backpack and removed quite easily. Primarily, it records various log data for later analysis.
Really cool is also the OI.Share App. Here you can view current GPS data of the camera and the tracker.
Plus, you can easily download photos from your camera to your smartphone and share them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social networks.
The connection between camera and smartphone is established via WiFi. The smartphone can also serve as a remote control.
During a walk or dive in the dark, the action camera can illuminate the area with up to 60 lumens.
