seems like a dream action cam. which makes me kind of suspicious. do you guys think this is possible at this price point?

i don't see what is surprising about the price point. it's in line with gopro prices and when it comes out (in december) it will be like 2 years newer than the latest gopro models.

in addition to gps speedometer, elevation, g force metering, and live streaming, it has a built in gimbal in a package smaller than a go pro. stand alone gimbals are $300+

did i miss it, or is there still no GPS for that overlay? I realize there may not be much of a point/need as you may already carry a cell phone with GPS or a stand along GPS for trail maps and such, but it would be nice to have it included in the camera if that's all you really want to carry and keep gps off on your phone.

so it did have a GPS? i must have missed it.

that camera was not smaller than a gopro. but again, 2 years after gopro's latest camera, i don't see why having new features are surprising.

Pretty cool. The YouTube video made me laugh though. Anything seems more exciting if you're skateboarding down a mountain, bungee jumping, etc. Maybe I can get them to send one to me and I'll film a video.
