In an unexpected move, Shimano has released a compact sports video camera. The CM-1000 Sport Camera uses a 16MP CMOS image sensor that allows 1080p high-definition video recording and combines it with an F2.0 lens for low light performance. It offers two lens settings; a standard 135-degree angle or a super wide 180-degree mode and it can automatically flip the image orientation to keep the recording horizontal. In addition to being compact (70x44x30mm and 86g) it is also waterproof to 10 metres without the need for any external housing. A range of tool-free fitting options will be available but it’s supplied with a helmet vent and an adhesive mount. Shimano says that it offers connectivity with their other devices, so it can link with their new Di2 D-Fly Wireless device to send speed and gearing data to the camera. ANT+ function also permits remote external camera control via an external device. Pricing is expected to be around $349 and it should be available by May 2014.
