Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V

0 Comment
 28 Dec 2013   Posted by Cheryl Tay


Photos don’t do enough justice to action sports, hence the need for action cameras such as the Sony Action Cam. Sony stepped in as the official Action Cam partner for the Asian Karting Open Championship (AKOC) Singapore rounds held at Kartright Speedway, hence there was a chance to try the camera out on karting!

A media event was held on Thursday, just before official AKOC track action kicked in, to allow them to try the Action Cam. Two Action Cam HDR-AS30V units were mounted on each fun kart – one facing the driver to capture his expressions and another facing the track.

For racing action, Kartmaster Drakar Racing Team drivers Gabriella Teo and Yeo  Hong Yang also had the Action Cam units mounted on their racing karts during the AKOC weekend. Winners of the five categories for Round 5 held on Sunday (it was a double-round weekend) each received a Sony Action Cam unit as a prize as well.

Weighing 90g with battery, the new Action Cam HDR-AS30V comes with new features like GPS, Live-View Remote and a slim waterproof housing 35 per cent lighter and 25 per cent smaller than its predecessor. It can record full HD 60p/50p with SteadyShot so you can capture all the fast-moving action with minimal bumps. It is also Wi-Fi-enabled so you can share the videos or photos via Sony’s free PlayMemories Mobile app, and NFC-enabled so you can access your Action Cam remotely with the Sony Xperia phones, tablets or other compatible Android devices.

The wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens gives a 170° field of view (120° with SteadyShot on) and for the first time, the Action Cam can capture 11.9-megapixel still photos as well as HD movies. The back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor helps to bring more light so your video doesn’t look dull and you can choose between two slow-motion modes to emphasise a certain moment in dramatic fashion as well.

You can mount the Action Cam upside down to capture images, making it more convenient when attaching it to your gear. You can then use Movie Rotate in PlayMemories Home on your computer to flip the footage clockwise or counter clockwise through 90° steps to compensate for the upside-down or sideways camera angles.

On-board Wi-Fi also links the Action Cam with the optional RM-LVR1 Live-View Remote. This is a waterproof controller you wear as a wristwatch, allowing ‘hands-off’ operation when the camera is mounted in hard-to-reach places like on your helmet. With that Live-View Remote, you can check that shots are framed nicely, start recording, select photo or movie modes.

Map View tracks movements using GPS data to display your route, while  Multi View reads speed information recorded by GPS, creating an exciting speedometer-style video overlay. The Two-Screen Multi View then combines video files captured simultaneously with two different cameras, creating an exciting split-screen composite. To illustrate these functions better, here’s a video of local karter Yeo Hong Yang during the AKOC weekend at Kartright Speedway. He had two Action Cam units on his race kart – one facing him and one facing the track.

 

As action cams go, there are all kinds of accessories to help you bring it wherever you want. There is the live-view remote, chest mount harness,  roll bar mount, universal head mount kit, action monopod, underwater housing, float, accessory kit, and suction cup mount.

The Sony Action Cam HDR-AS30V was launched in Singapore on 18 October 2013 and retails at S$449.

    Cycling on the road can be dangerous and scary, so Cycling on the road can be dangerous and scary, so make sure you're equipped safely - helmet is a MUST! And always be alert as some drivers can be real a-holes on the road.

I've experienced drivers intentionally coming close to me to "squeeze" me off, drivers coming near me and honking aggressively, drivers winding down their windows to scold us... I'm also a driver and a cyclist and a motorbike rider, so I can relate to the different perspectives on the road.

Let's all exercise more patience so we can co-exist on the roads safer!

    The full proposal video, just in case you missed i The full proposal video, just in case you missed it. I really didn't see this coming and it was a sweet surprise!

We just got off the yacht and was gonna head home, so there I was with my hair in a mess and my clothes still wet. She suddenly pulled me and said "I love you darling" and I replied, "I love you too" and wanted to continue walking but she held onto me and I was like, huh what's going on.

Then she opened a ring box and I went, "What?!" as you can see in the video lol. I soon realised what was happening and the first thing I did was step out of frame to put my things down because I didn't want to look 'auntie' hahahahaha. #priorities

When I turned back she went on her knee and the tears started flowing.

"I chose these rings because they contain two elements, from the Earth and the sky, because you ground me yet keep my head in the clouds. I cannot imagine my life without you, will you marry me, Cheryl Tay Pei Shi?"

Of course I said yes.

And then couldn't stop crying.

I also love how my friends were cheering on the sidelines and shouting instructions like corner men in a fight. Hahahahaha!

Watching this makes me cry again, aawww. Thank you @rriley @thepinksoldier @jyanyoga @censkiii @latimerbarbara @itshaneri for witnessing this special moment of my life and for sharing in our joy.

To a lifetime ahead @thehuangergames, ilysm.

The waiting time for lessons is quite long, so it's taken a while to clear the practical lessons but yay finally done with the lessons. We only have 3 practical lessons for Class 2A and I waited a month between each lesson phew.

Appreciate the instructors at CDC working overtime so they can clear the backlog (due to circuit breaker a year ago) and have more slots opened for us. 🙏🙏🙏

Just gotta be patient!
