TomTom today launches the all new TomTom Bandit Action Camera which makes editing and sharing videos quick. The camera comes with a built-in media server, eliminating the need to download footage before being able to edit it. The camera works with a companion app, making it possible to create and share videos in a matter of minutes, simply by shaking a smartphone.

The TomTom Bandit Action Camera is equipped with in-camera motion and GPS sensors to automatically find and tag moments based on speed, altitude, G-force, acceleration and heart rate. Highlights can also be tagged manually with a tagging button on the camera or the remote control.

The camera works with a smartphone app, which includes a viewfinder. Footage can be reviewed instantly with the smartphone app thanks to the built-in media server. In editing mode, a shake of the smartphone creates a movie. Users can then make changes, add music and add overlays of favourite metrics, such as speed, before sharing with friends.

In adition, the camera has a wide angle lens, high-end 16 MP CCD sensor and a powerful processor. It is also completely waterproof. The steel ring mounting system has a quick release mechanism and the low profile of the TomTom Bandit looks good on a helmet.

The designed Batt-Stick combines the long lasting battery, microSD card and SuperSpeed USB 3.0. It plugs directly into a computer via USB to charge and download footage.

The TomTom Bandit Action Camera will be available on www.tomtom.com and selected retailers in May for 429 Euros. It will be available in APAC and the US later this summer.
