A new camera from Swann is rugged and designed for adventurers as it can be mounted on cars, skateboards, bikes and helmets.

Swann’s Freestyle HD camera allows you to capture 1080p video with up to 3x digital zoom or snap JPEG images with its 8MP camera.

Housed in a sturdy case that is waterproof up to 20 metres, Swann Freestyle HD can be worn on the body or mounted to bikes, cars, helmets, skateboards and more via a range of included interchangeable mounts and brackets. In addition, the Swann Freestyle HD can be used as a standard point-and- shoot camera, featuring both single shot and continuous mode picture taking.

Video is shot in 1080p HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), having 30 fps, 3x digital zoom and stereo audio. Swann has also included a wireless remote control that lets users operate the camera while it’s mounted and out of arms reach.

Real-time viewing is made possible by the detachable 4cm LCD screen, so you see if you’ve captured the shot. Swann Freestyle HD also allows you to watch your footage afterwards on an HDTV via an HDMI cable or you can transfer your recording to the computer via a MicroSD card or the included USB cable for editing or sharing on social media networks. The Lithium-ion battery is also rechargeable via USB, giving users up to 2.5 hours of recording time per charge.
