If you're into extreme sports, especially scuba diving, then you'll love the Octospot waterproof action camera, which is the first ever to be designed specifically with scuba divers in mind.
Octospot has the capacity to record over two hours of footage, is made from aerospace aluminum that is waterproof at up to 200m / 656 ft, and can easily be operated with diving gloves. In addition, it senses temperature, depth, and time and combines this data in a dive log that can be displayed in a layer on top of the footage. The Snap-Record function allows the diver to share that experience via social media with a single click. No matter the conditions, crystal clear waters and sunny skies or murky deep sea dives, thanks to the depth controlled auto white balance and app controlled pre-programmable settings, photos and footage turn out true to tone without fumbling through settings and filters during the dive. These features combined with electronic image stabilization, high dynamic range, and lens distortion correction make it the ultimate diving companion.
"We wanted to focus on divers and give them the ultimate action camera specifically for diving. This goal has had a tremendous impact on the decision process along the way. It is not about adding the newest technology. It is about how we combine it in an intuitive design with diving specific functionalities", says Martin Holmberg, Octospot CEO.
The company behind the camera, Octospot ApS, is a Danish start-up that deals exclusively with the development and sales of diving equipment. The founders are the owners of the innovation agency MOEF, which has developed products and concepts for more than 15 years. MOEF has previously developed an underwater camera, the WaterWolf, developed specifically for anglers. It has become a huge success on the market and has won design and product awards in 2014, 15 and 16. Their newest innovation in underwater cameras has been under development for almost a year already and is set to hit the market early next year.
Pre-orders can be made exclusively through Kickstarter, which was launched June 28. These early adopters will get the Octospot Dive Camera at a price that is significantly less than its retail value. There will also be an opportunity for 200 people to become alpha testers. This segment will receive their cameras first and test it under their own diving conditions. After testing, the final version of the camera will be gifted to them free of charge.
