The top dog among POV cameras is GoPro. GoPro has dominated the market since Nick Woodman founded the brand in 2004 and has almost become synonymous with POV cameras. But in recent years, GoPro has faced competition from cameras that are just as technically advanced, but cheaper than the rather expensive GoPro. One example: the W9.2 from electronics manufacturer Lamax for 160 euros.
POV stands for "Point of View"which means "angle of view" or "perspective" in German. One POV camera is a camera that films from the perspective of the wearer or the person wearing the camera. It is often attached to a helmet, the body or the sports equipment (i.e. the bike) in order to record the action from the wearer's perspective. This makes it possible to see the experience as the wearer perceives it, which is particularly popular for action sports such as surfing, skiing or mountain biking.
This is what Lamax says about its new W9.2:
Perfect recordings, always and everywhere
Capture memories of your last adventure or family holiday in top quality - with the Lamax W9.2. The action cam records your wild action on the water, in the mountains or in the skate park in 4K at 30 fps. And even if things get shaky, the electronic stabilisation ensures that everything stays nice and steady.
Everything can be easily controlled via the 2-inch display, and the 1.4-inch front display is great for selfies to find the right composition. The camera is no joke - it can withstand up to 12 metres under water, and you can even go down to 40 metres in the housing. Just unpack all the accessories, play with the creative modes, the slow motion function, the remote control and other cool extras - and impress with professional shots!
The Lamax W9.2 combines proven technologies with creative modes and plenty of accessories to capture your action adventures in top quality - whether in the air, on the ground or under water.
Operation made easy
If you want to capture the moment, you need a camera that is easy to operate. The Lamax W9.2 comes with displays on the front and back: the 1.4-inch display on the front helps with image composition and selfies, while the 2-inch touch display on the back makes it easier to control all functions. Anyone filming with gloves or underwater will love the practical buttons, and the remote control can also be used to start filming from a distance.
Creativity without limits
Thanks to its clever functions and versatile accessories, the W9.2 gives you plenty of creative freedom. You can use the touch display to take slow-motion shots that slow down the image up to eight times - or use the time-lapse function for even more dynamic videos. You don't need any experience in video editing, the camera does it automatically and delivers unique results.
Ready for any adventure
With a water resistance of up to 12 metres, the Lamax W9.2 is ready for any adventure. Dive up to 40 metres deep if you pack it in the special case supplied. The battery lasts up to two hours for Full HD recordings. And thanks to the integrated Wi-Fi, you can transfer your recordings to your smartphone in no time at all to share them with friends and followers.
The Lamax W9.2 is now available at the recommended retail price of 159.99 euros.
